Some fishermen who have fished Shooâ€"Fly and come home empty handed, have inferred that the trout population had been badly depleted. Such in our opinion is far from the case. These trout wise up in a hurry after the season opens, but believes me they are there just about as thick as they ever were. They got smarter to live. The fishermen are going to be forced to get smarter if they want to catch some of these whoppers. ‘ PIRECTORS OF THE CANADIAN Outdoor Writers of which I have the honor of being president, met over the weekend The park is considered one of the best in the province. With the additional attraction of fishing, it would draw at least twice as many people as it does now. DON‘T FORGET TO WATCH our Outdoor Show at 10 g.m. every Wednesday night over CKCOâ€"TV. You‘ll see a .lo of people you know and maybe get a kick out of it. We hope so anyway. WOULD THE NICE person who sent a letter this week reâ€" rarding the Junior BRand care to get in touch with me?

Some of these larger than any we had been able to hook. o "~ _ We had anchored off this particular point not because we believed there were more fish there than any other s?(ot, but because there were more signs of activity. One bigâ€"lunker insisted upon coming to the surface with a thunderous crash, about every twenty minutes, FEach time he would. rise, I would drop a cast over him, which he ignored. This little game went on for an hour or more. Finally, after passing up my offering all afternoon, he took a smash at it. The reacâ€" tion of that fish when the hook took hold, resembled a bull suddenly gone haywire; It was a controlled sort of panic though for at no time did I mandged to get him any distance from the logs along the shore. For over a hundred yards of that tricky shoreline I managed to hold onto the big brute, then suddenly he was gone. The hook on my fly was straightâ€" ened out and there was time for. me to stop shaking. â€" _ fishing with them during the day and $86 that theyâ€"really did know the subject to which they are dedicated. BLACKFLIES ARE GETTING fewer and the mosquitoes are taking their place, in the north country. They can make it really rugged at times if you happen to forget a good repellent. A fish always looks bigger in the water than he actually is, or should I say nearly always. We estimated his weight at n conservative eight pounds. Thats a lot of speckled trout. at Shooâ€"Fly. We didn‘t get all the work done that was planâ€" ned, but we accomplished more than I thought we would. These men are tops in the awriting field and are also eoodsportsmen. It was a real pleasure to be able to get out __â€"I thought Les was going to jump in after the fish and we were both a little stunned to have success snatched away from on so quickly. 4 SPENT THIS PAST weekend at Shooâ€"Fly and while the fishâ€" ing was a little on the slow side, we did manage to" bring back at least one fiveâ€"pound speckle. f Also managed to lose about a six and another we thought would go about eightâ€"pounds. The six pounder we had right in the net but my fishing partner in his excitement, (he had never seen a speckled trout over a couple of pounds) managed to get the bottom of the net bag flipped up over the rim. The result was disastrous, for the big fish was lightly hooked. He balanced precariously on the net, which now resembled a tennis racket and then went back in the lake again. _ * your name.
