Despite the bitter cold and snow flurrics, the trout did well by us and we returned with our limit. Our biggest fish a five and threequarter pounder gave us a few bad minutes before we got him in the boat. Most of our fish were taken on a streamer fiy but because of the extremely high winds, we used a spinâ€" ning rod instead of the usualâ€" ly fly rod. It makes for a ‘little mvrore difficult and less enjoyable fishing, but it worked so far as the fish were concerned. all over the country were better than they have been for years. Rainbow trout takes were excellent as the Department of Lands and Forests predicted they would be. Rainbows of over nine pounds wer from the legal length to These fish serve a double purpose. They furnish miflty fine fishing and they take a lot of strain off the speckled trout. They might have been an experiment in the first place, but they have become a mighty important addition to out __ Haven‘t heard of any exceptional speckles being taken in this area, but understand that usual speckled trout waters produced very well â€" For out own part, we jourâ€" meyed to Shooâ€"Fly. The weaâ€" ther as happened last year, was abominable. While we had more clothes on than if we had been duck hunting in the fall, we still couldn‘t stay warm At one time we were wearing heavy underwear, a light shirt, a down vest, a heavy shirt and a down filled hunting coat. That with the amount of extra lard we have accumulated during the winter should have kept us warm, but we still managed the odd shiver without the least bit of effort. We had a funny one the first morning. Offering Alex Janesitis of CIL a tow back to the dock, we were on out way out again when stopped by two of the fishermen from the camp. ‘"‘Herb, do you know anyâ€" thing about this kind of reel?" one of them asked. The enquiry came from Chris Smith who has a motion picture and TV commercial studio in Toronto. Both Chris and his partner admitted they knew less than nuthin‘ about fishing but were anxious to learn. Previously, we had seen them anchored out right in the middle of the lake. I had debated with myâ€" gelf whether I would go out and tell them they were wastâ€" ‘ng their time in that partiâ€" crlar spot at that time of vear. I decided against ofâ€" fering advice that had not been asked for. We soon had Chris‘ reel working and then when they asked us where they should fish, we told them to take over the piece of shore we had been fishing. At noon when they came in for lunch, they had five of the nicest speckles you could imagine. That was one more than we had up to that time and were they tickled. Some of the other boys didn‘t do so well, mainly beâ€" cause they didn‘t know where to fish. The second morning we took out Alex Janesitis. who mp to that time hadn‘t even had a strike. We no sooner dropped our anchor than I was into a trout. While I wis trvinge to untangle him from the net. Alex hooked one and I had a heck of a time clearing the hook from the net mesh in tiame to ret it Two more Z _ e e aecovan S FISHINCG \g ... by Herb Smith Canada Any of you fishermen planâ€" ning a trip to this area would be well advised to pake all the warm clothinmg you can carry.

Moving our location a little later, we came across Bruce West, well known Toronto colummist and Gil Purcel of CP. They were busy fishing as they had for two days, but without success. We stopped and chewed the fat with them for a few minâ€" utes and I left one of my lures with Bruce to try He said afterwards that we had not left them for ten minutes when he tied into his first fish. After they broke the ice, they took several good fish. If the catch taken by guests at ShooFly lodge was any inâ€" dication, then more fish were caught from this lake than we have ever seen before. Over sixty trout were packed and shipped from this one point alone. However, the fish are there and the size of them makes any suffering you do, at least a little worth while. Tight lines. WHILE WE ARE AN honorâ€" ary member of many Rod and Gun Clubs, one of the nicest things we have experienced was when we received a Lifeâ€" time Membership in the mail this week from the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club. Probably this club holds more of our affection than does any of the others for we helped start it. Thanks a lot fellows. WE HAD A FISH CALLER given us this winter and now we have been presented with a fish sceent with which to lure our finny victims to the hook. We‘ll let you know how we make out with it. th for THSB WATERLOO (Ontario) CHRONICLE o last two â€"stumps, whicw stood in the wey of the new horseâ€" shoe pits, and it wil} not be Some of our trout fisher men in the club have been very successful to date. Wilf Koch and John Watson were out on the opening day and had their legal limit of fish by 3 p.m., which is not bad fishâ€" ing, when one realizes they were fishing within fifty or sixty m#es from town. Wailter Behling and his brother Ed were out on opening day and they tboo reported a good catch of fish, some of which were of very good size. Doug Henry and his son and the party they were with also reâ€" ported a good day‘s catch. Even the younger fry about the city who went out on their bicycles reported very good luck, and they had the fish to prove it. Some of the rest of us would be fishermen were out too, but I guess we must be slow starters at least we never caught many trout. George Coyne fishing with hi« better half Esther, caught six nice trout. The best part of the opening day of trout fishâ€" ing the way I see i#t, was the swell roast beef dinner the writer and the Coynes had at Fred Brohman‘s cottage.
