Danbury Fishermen
Bring Home The Meat
J. J. Booth and sons .Lm and
Alex made a fishing trip to the
headwaters of the Dan river, up
in the mountains of Patrick, car-
I ly Monday morning. The sun was
! just gilding the tops of the trees
j to the cast when they set 111. The
l river at that place is just the
size of a spring branch, and the
fishermen threw away their hooks
I and Lnes and de!?ed into the
' clear stream, catching (55, which
j measured from 18 to 35 inches
each. At some points the stream
| was dammed and overrunning its
banks by a clogging of the cur
rent from big fish sleeping cross
ways.
Mi. Booth says it was very cold
up there on the mounta.n and 'ri
des long i>.s steer horns were on
each side of the road.
