Creel limits Set (or 1961
Virginia's fishermen can start making plana and catting their fishing tackle ready once again. Ike Commission of Game and In* land Fisheries, meeting in executive session at Richmond, set the seasons and creel limits for fresh water fishing in the Old Dominion for 1961. ,
The trout season will open on April 20 as usual, but the opening time will be changed from 6:80 a.m. to 12:00 o'clock noon. This change is effective only on opening day, and all other days of the season will open at the usual “on« hour before sunrise'' time and close at one hour after sunset. The change to noontime in the opening day schedule is expected to cut down on the number of “gun jumpers" who in them eagerness to fill their creels at the expense of the sportsman, ignore the starting hour and fish the heavily stocked streams under cover of darkness.
Although many good reason* were advanced for changing the opening day to May 1, the Commission finally decided that since a large number of sportsmen had timed their vacations to coincide with the usual April 20 opening date, it would cause too much disruption in their plans if the change became effective this year. However, in 1962 the opening date will be May 1.
