Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 101, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1898 — Wants a Good Fish Law. [ARTICLE]

Wants a Good Fish Law.

In speaking of how to protect the game fish in Indiana streams and get rid of the German carp, Judge Elliott, of Marion county, says: ‘‘The only way to get rid of the carp is to permit seining at certain times of the year. Let the law state the time when it may be done, and, between seasons, compell all owners of seins to deposit them with a fish warden or some one authorized to take care of them. Seining will remove very few of the game fish. The law ought also to make dynamiting of streams a penitentiary offense. It will not be two years until we will have no fish of any kind in Indiana waters if dynamiting is not stopped.”
