TROUT SEASON CLOSED
DESPITE APPEARANCES
ON NORTH FORK
if you were in the vicinity
of the Nrth Fork during day-

have had cause to wonder if fish-

It has not.

John Noble, Clyde Petersen and
Game Warden Paul Kehrer were
to be seen on the stream com-

Noble is engaged in writing
aft article for Field and Stream
magazine, concerning fishing in
Plumas Oaunty and the Fisher-
men Association organization,
and PetePsen is here for the pur-
pose of snapping pictures there-

the Division of Fish and Game
they were authorized to have

genie reasons) bait her hook and
catch one troutto be thrown
back into the stream under the
watchful eye of Paul Kehrer---
