BASS FISHING IN THE BRANDYWINE. 
I?™,™, v o Cuadd’8 Ford, Pa., July io, 18T$. 
Editor Forest and Stream and Rod and Gun • 
Pei baps many of your readers are not aware that the Brandy wlne-a 
stream famed ln the history of our forefathers- memorable straggle for 
Independence— Is now furnishing rare sport for those who delight In 
bass fishing. This expanse of water has Its source In the northern part 
of Chester Co. and flowing southwardly through Chester and Delaware 
counties empties Into the Christiana River at Wilmington, Del. About 
six years ago, among other streams of Pennsylvania, it was liberally 
stocked with black bass. A law prohibiting their capture for tbreo 
years was enacted and rigidly enforced. Some dissatisfaction was ex- 
pressed In regard to the stringency of this enactment; yet the wisdom 
of it ls now appreciated not only by those who tlsh for the sport they 
find ln so doing, bat even pot-flsbers-those scavengers who employ 
the line, seine, set-net and other devlces-have come to look upon it 
wllh better feeling. 
Bass fishing is now at the zenith of lta glory ; they take the halt eager- 
ly and are game to the last. A few days ago a party of young men eu- 
camped on.the banks of ihe Brandywine ln the vicinity of Chadd’s Ford, 
Del., Co., and amoDg other recreations Indulged In that of Ashing, with 
very gratifying success, Bass were caught measuring 17 and 18 inches 
and weighing 3, •! and 0 ponuds each, respectively. Ah ! but they were 
beauties I Imagine the eeatacy of our amateur flsherman straggling in 
the water with a I pound bass, and notice tbe smile of triumph illumi- 
nating his countenance as he safely lands bis victim. Perhaps bw 
highest ambition, previous to the introduction of bass, was io catch 
cat flsh and eels. Unfortunately for the camping party, or rather for- 
tunately for the bass frequenting this section of the Brand) wine, It be- 
gan raining on the morning of the third day aut, aud continuing at In- 
tervals for two or three days, rendered the creek unflt for Ashing for 
this particular species. The fly Is seldom ased ln angling for the bass, 
as they do not readily rise to It. The bait most extensively employed 
ls the crawflsb. 
The scenery along the Brandywine ls of an Interesting and varied 
character, and as the stranger gazes upon this historic stream forcing 
Its way through ragged hills and again meandering gracefully through 
meadow and copse, now rushing forward with the speed of a mountain 
torrent, and anon moving onward with scarcely a ripple disturbing its 
placid surface, the sight Is one long to be remembered and cherished.
