Home & Auto Supply S3 King E. Dial 3â€"4177 Ffirestone The other end contains most of the big springs. Here the fresh cold water not. only attracts the trout but seems to keep them ~more active. Here it was on the first afterâ€" noon of my stay that King Shooâ€"Fly is a deep spring fed lake. Trout are in evidâ€" ence all over the lake when they are rising to surface feed. But for some reason known only to themselves, they are reluctant to take in the end of the lake closest to camp. WRITING THIS COLUMN for the next couple of weeks is going to be a real pleasure. EB will take that long to teH you all about this last week which I spent at Shooâ€" Fly lake, wooing the big speckâ€" led trout there with a fly. Now we are convinced that trout can be easily taken durâ€" Ing the middle of summer if fou arrive at the right forâ€" mula and the right water, simultaneously. Et has been a popular theory among fishermen that August fishing for speckled trout was and is a waste of time. Perâ€" sonally, we find we take our biggest fish in this month and have often wondered if lack of pressure by other fishermen has anything to do with our own success. © SOFTER RIDE © SILENT TREAD © SKID PROTECTION © BLOWOUT AND PUNCTURE SAFETY USE OUR BUDGET PLAN Herb Smith The distance from the big fish was tro short to drop a fly and have it sink deep enough to be of any interest. Finally the big trout lost inâ€" terest in the whole proceeding and moved away. We hung around for a little while and then moved the boat to the end of the lake where the springs came up out of the King moaned ard groaned and â€" complained about his heart. He reâ€"rigged quickly and dropped a small minnow in front of the big trout, He could have saved himself the effort, for the big trout refusâ€" ed to even look at the minâ€" now. Soon tne big fellow was joined by two more of about the same size. I thought King was going to climb over the side after them and my own blood pressurs got out of conâ€" trol. to break the line, after which the big trout returned ard leisurely dined or the smalier one. Smaill trout started taking â€"the minnows with an abandon I have never seen them exâ€" hibit in these waters King would bring them to the surâ€" face, take hold of the hook with a pair of needie nosed pliers and shake them off. Most of these fish were tweâ€" Ive to fourteen inches long but considered too small to keep from these waters. Finâ€" ally King hcoked into a real small trout, about eight inches long. He was letting it tear around in the clear water, when suddenly a speckle of about five or six pounds shot out and grabbed ‘ the smaller one. The big fish tore into a bunch of logs ar the bottom and in one second flat, had wrapped the light spinning line around them. King finally had In a shallow bay, we had no trouble in catching plenty of small darter minnows. Anâ€" choring at the end of a long pine rampike, King lowered a live minnow while I continued with the fly, until at least King proved the big trout were interested in minnows. Both of us hedged a little on the question of. live bait, but agreed that possibly live minnows would be more deadly at this time of year than either fly or spinning lure. The next morning we made a net from some mosquito netâ€" ting andâ€"bits bf wire. We were after big trout and were willâ€" ing to fall off the purist wagon to get one. and I got into some nice speckâ€" les. They were not large for Shooâ€"Fly, running as they did to about three pounds. They were a lot of fun and we caught them both spinning and fly fishing, the biggest trout falling for a Babylon streamer when I was making my last cast before we headed back to Over an appetizer before dinner, King and I got into the age old discussion of flies, spinning and live bait,. King is sold on spinning. I like to fly fish even if I‘m not takâ€" ing anything, although I long ago convinced myself I could catch more on a properly fished fly than I could on anything else. THE WATERLOO (Ontario) CHRONICLE t : Don Moser, chairman of the Field Committee reported at Monday‘s _meeting that forty }.five young pheasants had been received ‘from the Dept. of Lands and Porests. These birds were released out at the club property by Fred Merner our local Game Overseer, with some of our own members asâ€" sisting, what I really mean to say some of us fellows were there at the time the birds were released. Don also asked that our club members get out and sell as many crow shoot tickets as possible and help 'tqoithom'l'hodr»ol-|mh ed rapidly and we were thankâ€" | succe ful for the hearvy vog_no_a, Th shirts, brought along~=just in | some George Coyne (Daniel Boone) and his wife Esther have again â€" consented to look after the races. George and Esther do a fine job in this Department so we can all look forward to having a good time, and if I know George and Esther, I think we all might be in for a few surâ€" prises. At the regular club meetâ€" ing held on Monday night, it was decided that our annual club picnic would be held on Saturday, August 27th. This iy.a family picnic, so do not forget, bring your wife and all the kids and have a real day‘s outing. As in other years each family brings their own lunch, the club will supply the drinks and the ice cream for the children. Waterloo Rod And Gun Club News kept one of them and King‘s biggest fish for our dinner. (continued next week) Then, one after the other, I hooked and landed two beauâ€" ties of about four pounds.

Cows will get in calf the same as with natural breâ€" eding and in many cases, better and there is no danger of spreading disease. ¢. The FEED and SPACE used by a potentially dangerâ€" our bull can be utilized for OTHER PURPOSES. 5. Many herds have had the same cows bred artificially for several years as well as up to four or five generatâ€" ions, THE RUMORS one hears that cows will not conâ€" ceive artificially year after year and that artificially sired heifers will pot conceive when bred artificially, have no foundation. When planning your breceding program, ,consider: 1. The low cost of getting your cows bred artificially. Life membership $5.00 (not payabie cach year). $5.00 per cow for members . $6.00 per cow for nonâ€"members 2. The money making qualities of your calves will be ° better than average. This will amount to more than the total cost of Artificial Breeding, Dairy or Beef catâ€" tle. $3.50 to $15.00 The early 1955 harvest season is over in most sectâ€" ions and farmers‘ thoughts will be with their livestock and breeding program.
