SOUTHERN OUTDOORS, JUNE 1, 1946
<N
GEORGIA SHRIMP FOR SCRIBES—Shrimp from Georgia coastal waters provided
members of the Outdoor Writers Association of America the momentum they needed to
“eat their way through seven states” during a Tennessee Valley trek that ended June 1.
The dinner was given by the Georgia Game and Fish Commission at Chickamauga Na
tional Park and was prepared by Louie Andrews, left, director of Georgia’s Coastal
Fisheries. Helping Andrews serve the plates are Frank Vestal, president of the Tennes
see Outdoor Writers, and Nash Buckingham, famous sportsman-author.

Special Stream for Disabled Veterans
Connecticut has instituted a plan which is being consid
ered by several Southern states. We want to recommend and
urge that they follow through with it as fast as their funds
and facilities will permit.
The Board of Fisheries and
Game in the Nutmeg state is giv
ing the disabled veteran a break
in fishing. A certain section of
the Blackledge River has been set
aside for exclusive use of veterans.
Along the banks of this excellent
trout stream, benches have been
placed so the boys may still fish
in comfort. A large wooden ramp
has been provided for those con
fined to wheel chairs.
Numerous pools have been made
with check dams and deflectors.
They have been heavily stocked.
Disabled veterans generally frown
on special concessions, but this is
one that appears to have its place.
If it is successful, Connecticut
plans to extend the project to
statewide proportions.
We look for the “special” wa
ter plan to grow in the future.
Several eastern states have
streams in which fishermen may
use only artificial lures. Tennes
see also has trout waters open
only to fly fishermen. Connecti
cut has waters for youngsters 16
and under, and also “for women
only.” North Carolina recently set
aside Neal’s Creek for the ladies,
and it was heavily patronized the
opening day in May, with the fem
inine contingent taking several
limit catches.
Jack Knight, known by his full
name, John Alden Knight, by
thousands of America’s anglers,
made his casting debut in Georgia
last week and waded out with sev-_
