The three It seems to be the general impression among sportsmen that if the fish are to bo saved from extermination by the com- rD^rcial interests the sportsmen are the ones wlio will have to act. Their idea of conservation it appears is not to curb in any way the sportsmen themselves but to curb culy those who catch and deal in fish as a livelihood. If we examine our laws which have been passsd for the pur- pose of conserving our food fish it will be found that the sportsmen in nearly every instance have been specially favored. A good many kinds of fish have been taken off the commercial list and their sale pro- hibited. They may be taken only by angling and 'in several instances the angler is not restricted by a bag limit. If a closed season is established for the protection of an important food fish the sportsman is given the si>ecial privilege of fishing through the closed season. Those who have had experience in en- forcing fish and game laws know that the cnly way to make a closed season really effective is to prohibit the possession of the fish, bird or other animal during the salmon or five striped bass of any size which may he taken by any one for sport each day during the closed seasons for these fish make it difficult and in some instances well nigh impossible to enforce the ban against comaiorcial fishing dur- ing the closed time or to enforce the law against the sale of striped bass under three pounds in weight.
