TROUT SEASON OPENED ON 1STH 111 this ran N The legal season for trout fishing in the hundreds of miles of stream in Jackson and the adjoining counties opened yesterday, and disciples of Isaac Walton tried their luck and their lures. It is reported that the number taking advantage of the opening day of the season was not as large as in past seasons, fr?r tho rpacnn that, firoc a ri H * VII V4AV * VMUUli VAAMiV vit VU MAtvt automobiles are used to transport the sportsmen to the streams. In addition to the fine trout streams of the county, Lake Glenville is open to any person who has fishing license in this county. It is the only large lake that is stocked exclusively with trout. The lake is backed over some of the finest trout streams in the United States, streams that have been famous for generations. In addition to the trout thus natmrally in the lake, it has been heavily stocked. The only requirement for fishing in this lake is to obtain license and follow the laws of sportsmanship as laid down in North Carolina. It is expected that Lake Glenville will be one of the most popular places in North Carolina this season, with people who like lake or sea fishing.
