It you do you are cheating yoursell out of some of the best tistung of the year. We too, love the speckled trout above all other fish and while they are In season, fish for them almost exclusively. How- ever, there " now no need to hang up your tackle on the 15th of September and hibernate with the solemn declaration that you will somehow extst until next May lst. Your beloved speckles may be out of season for another year, but there are still the Rain- LOW trout and the lakers. 1314-1.wa no Rainbow trout fishing is USU- ally not as rewardmg as IS the pursuit pt speckles. The rain- LOWS are fewer, but they are much larger than their speckled coun- terparts. In fast water, they are 'ighting fools. possibly wnhout me staying power of the speckle, out certainly more spectacular. They can be caught on spinning lures. thes and “we ban. tro you ‘an take your choice of the me- tnod you use to obtain Invnx, The taker or lake trout is in much the aame category su fur as nuts are concerned, In the fall as the warm water disappears and IS replaced by cold, the Jakera, work their way back to shallow water. In tact we have taken tnem in water so shallow that the corsal fin and hack of the fish showed above the water when they turned to take the bait. They too will take spinning lures and tues and even Uve minnows, " though we think the artiticials are better in the fall. Anyone who has only taken these big trout by dragging them oft the bottom with several hun- dred feet of copper wire, will wonder just what we see m them as a game fish. Believe me, there " all the difference in the world, when this same fish is taken on light tackle. They are not as spectacular as the rainbow, nor as fast as the brookie, but for sheer bulldog courage, they haven't an equal. You may get them to boat .three or four times nefore you actually get them in the net. They don't give up eaav ily. As for baits, we have found the GBD and similar wobUling spoon.» to be tops for this type of thitting and they will take either rain- bows or the big lakers.

Amer havxng, as we ttsought.. solved the mystery pf how, to catch trout in this particular punt during the warm weather. we were badly taken aback when the same system did not work during the cold snap.

This might hive happened, but they certainly weren't feeding on anything we threw at them. - Other methods did not work any better, and by noon we had taken only two good trout while returning possibly a dozen small ones Alter lunch, we managed to thaw out a little, and adding what extra clothes we had with us ,we returned to the fishing. _ Fishing was slow during the af- ternuun too, although we did take a few nice fish and a larger num- oer of small ones. Towards even- ing, they went on a mild sort of prod and we caught enough good trout to smell up_v.he .fryingptyt. Ordinarily at this time of the year, all I can think of is the ap- proach of the gunning season. Right now I am wishing it would hold ott for a little while until we get our fill of trout fishing, Prob- ably my feelings will change when I see my first birds over the barrels of the old scattereun. With the gunning season just around a very short corner, we are prone to wonder how many shooters have nuw acquired a re- triever so that they may be rea- sonably sure of the birds they knock down.

MARIE. - Chief Ranger Byron Smith ot Sand Lake reports an interesting wild- life story. We sometimes read of a dog mothering a litter of kit- tens. or vice versa. a cat mother- ing small chicks. or a dog and I cat - usually hostile - becoming friends. Then there was the case of a horse, reported by Egon last year, at Anjigami Lake, ile 148. AC. ley,. which apparently be- came friendly with a large tim- ber wolf. Now we have another unusual case ot the friendship. apparent, between a Sand Lake loan and Deputy Chief Ranger Koski's collie dog. For several years past a pair of loans have made their summer home at a secluded spot on Sand Lake. Each summer they raise one offspring, and the sight of the three loons on the lake I: I com- mun thing at the present time. Their weird, mournful cries are heard day and night. Deputy Chief Ran er Koski has a beautiful t'fiu'd'lJi'iu female Scotch collie named Christie. In the early part of the summer when the cry of the loon was heard Christie would make for the dock and raise a terriflc fuss. barking, growling, etc. But things have changed. Each mor- ning as soon as C ristie is let out of the house, she makes straight for the dock and lies down as " out as she can get. About 20 feet from the dock is the drake loon summung back and forth, back and beth, occasionally taking a dive to show Christie how it is done. Christie lies there, ears erect, watching every move the loan makes. This is a regular oc- currence around 6 am, every morning. q ' _ Hutch Your Wagon to a Star, , ”.1.“ at“.

Well. take the war. for instance. Among the young men who used to arrive in Bournemouth on their way to tUhting stations, time and again. I saw chaps who, beck home, were Ite, ordinary lads. Some- times could hardly believe my eyes when I saw a pilot's badge and, later, at repat depot, I still wondered at the transformation of the ordinary guy into a set» soned veteran. Literally and phy- sically these young men were torn from the quiet of the misty flats into the butteting of war and the thin air of the upper atmos- phere. Psychologically the change was even more drastic. In most cases they measured up nobly to the challenge of the change. t know too from another phase of life that many people have within them the ability to rise from the monotony of misty-ttat existence. Take our law-break, ers. I do not mean those with the sub-normal kind of intelli- gence that let their lower emo- tions rule their actions and reac- tions. I am talking about the peo- le who, finding lite dull, look for adventure that does not con- form to the social laws of his country. Some of these have claimed the admiration of our most law-abiding citizens, not be- cause they kicked over the traces of Tiz,ht rules of behavior, but rat er because they rebelled against a hum-drum existence and did something about it. What a power for goo and leadership these would have been if they could have found adventure, mountain-top experiences and Right in the thin upper air for their tut-bound bodies and spirits within the bounds of decent be- havior. But why do not more people live adventurously? Lack of op- portunity like a war or some other kind of emergency? Pas- sibly. Because they see only the kind of chance that would involve them with the law? Maybe so. There are, doubtless, as many other reasons as there are misty- fiat dwellers. And yet I can name you dozens of people who live adventurous- ly, supremely, happily and even dangerously, who are strictly law-abiding c i t i ze n s. Among these are our leaders. Some of them do not lead crowds of peo- pie, Some live seemingly solitary lives, All have imagination. All are self-starters.
