Entbusiasm Great "My enthusiasm for sport was greater than my ability," he now recalls with a chuckle. It was while attending high school at Creelman that Jack McPherson, then 14 years of age, met with his second accident durâ€" ing an evening baseball game. Jack _ McPherson â€" owes his blindness to two quite separate and â€" freakish â€" accidents â€" that marred his boyhood devotion to sport. He was only eight years of age when he was blind in the right. eye when struck by a hockey stick during a neighborâ€" hooud game on one of Regina‘s streets. Despite this accident, he conmâ€" tinued to play hockey, baseball and soccer at Regina, and later at Fillmore and Creelman, Sask.

They started out by All this cannot be taken for the entire truth. Binny does not hesitate at the small falsehood here and there. It does seem to us that we have seen the boys out there doing some pretty fair shooting at times. Binswanger Drinch claims that the boys are not doing too well with their new game. Seems the clay pigeons have little resemâ€" blance to a fox and consequently are an unfamiliar target. Evidently I have been worryâ€" ing unnecessarily. Seems the boys now have a trap set up and are busy firing clay pigeons out of it. These fellows, are amongst the most enthusiastic hunters we know _ of _ during the winter months, but seem to stow the old scattergun in moth balls as soon, as spring comes along. Ome thing we have often wonâ€" dered about and that was the lack of shooting during the summer months by members of the Wilâ€" mot Rod and Gun Club. _ I‘m so convinced I‘m right, I hung up my casting tackle about fifteen or more years ago. I would like to take a ‘lunge on a fly. It‘s the one Canadian game fish I haven‘t tangled with a fly rod. One about fourteen pounds or so should be a lot of fun. The real big ones would only be hard work and not enough fireworks. I still contend, even if I have to duck every time I say it, that hooking into one of these fish is ninetyâ€"nine and nineâ€"tenths luck. Sure it takes skill to land them on light tackle . . . but not to hook Although the bass and ‘lunge season is now a week old, I haven‘t heard much bragging Wom the warm water boys. I would like to hear from some of you other fly fishermen as to your experiences with brook trout in the lakes at this time of year. I know that a few lakes do produce for I have fished them with dry flies at this time of year and taken good trout. Most of these in my experience have been in Quebec. Why not in Ontario? He cla"rm that the dry fly fishâ€" ing on his particular stream is now something to dream about. The only thing 1 was thankful for is that he has experienced the same difficulty that I have in takâ€" ing trout from ponds or lakes, on the dry fly. â€" 8 â€" Guess the northern lakes won‘t amount to a great deal until coolâ€" er weather. This statement apâ€" plies only to brook trout, of course. tention is that if the average fly fisherman cannot catch fish in the streams at this time of year, he should take up pingâ€"pong. _ _ tention is that if the average fly shore. , With the bass, night fishing might be the answer and the ‘lunge could probably be tempted with a sixâ€"inch sutker held outâ€" side his favorite weed bed by a good sized float. _ â€" My feeling on the old lake is that there is too much natural food available, not that the speed boats are scaring the fish up on Personally, we don‘t think the power boats spoil the fishing. My dad always used to say that it took the vibrations from a proâ€" peller to wake a ‘lunge and that the fast traveilling spoon was more a challenge to him than the offer of something to eat. Dad always caught ‘lunge, in fact you could almost bet money that he would return with one or two if he said he was going to. _ _ _ The warden claimed those days were gone. "There are more fish than there ever were, he assured me, but there are so many power lboais stirring up the water all the time, the fish couldn‘t see the bait if it was right in front of them." I asked him on what he based his assertion that the game fish were increasing in number. He stated that he personally had checked the stop nets held to keep the carp from spawning in the big swamps and had also checked consistently with the carp netters. He said that the netters had picked up 72 ‘lunge in one lift of their nets. A terrific number when the size of Lake Skugog is taken into consideration. when 1 lived in the east, would produce regularly, both bass and ‘lunge. It was so common to go out and catch a dozen largemouth bass up to 5% to 6 pounds that we didn‘t bother keeping any of them. ‘Lunge were plentiful and we even cm:ght them trying new baits from the dock in front of the cottage. hydroghnu tearing up and down the lake.
