GOOD FISHING AHEAD,
SAYS ANGLER FLEMING
C. C. Fleming of Jamesville is
getting set for a good year of fish
ing in the Roanoke River. He's got
a system.
Mr. Fleming bases his optimism
.an .the state, .of the heavens on the
night of Old Christmas (January
6). He says no stars were seen on
Old Christmas the last two years,
and that fishing was "rotten" the
following springs.
This year, he declares, "I had
just about made up my mind that
if no stars were seen on Old
Christmas night, I would not even
attempt to fish this spring." The
stars obliged though, and now he's
making plans.
