mnmnmumnmm.uw fid}n-tho majority seem to be having leusy luck or just none at Don‘t think I have ever heard such a chorus of discourâ€" agment from fishermen as 1 have se far this year. Could be that the weather is mainly responsible, with the cold nights we have been experiencing putting the finny ones off their feed. s o _ This lack of fishing would be a matter of some concern if I did not feel it was a temporary situation and that when, and if we start getting some real warm weather, the fish will start hitting as they should do. Then everyone will be HAD THE PRIVILEGE as speaking to the Grand VaNley and Orangeville Rod and Gan Clubs last week. My very good friend and fiy fishing companion, Bud Landsborough of the Grand Valley Star and Vidette inâ€" troduced me and flubbed his lines. Tch, Tch. You gotta get your mind off those trout when you are at a meeting my friend. Just to show there is no hard feelings Bud, I‘m going to allow you to row the boat the next time we go to Shooâ€" Fly. IS A WHITEFISH A GAME FISH? Not according to the way he is classified at the preâ€" sent time. Yet thousands fish for him through the ice durâ€" ing the winter months and no one can deny he is a fine table fish. Even though the whitefish furnishes sport for thomsand: during the winter, he is seldom sought or caught by regulatr angling methods. _ _Now we‘ll admit to not knrowing too much . about whitefish or their habits, but any we have seen taken were, so far as weight is concerned, between one and four or five pounds. Brighton of 2 Delroy St., in Kitchener, took a tenâ€"pound whitefish while trolling at McGregor Bay with spinning tackle for lake trout. The lure spoon which the fish evidently tried to swallow. Possibly one of the main reasons why Del was able to boat it It was nearly thirty inches long when fresh caught. Can you figure out all the contradictions in the above? Here is a fish that is seldom taken on an artificial lure. One of the reasons being that the mouth is so soft, even the ice fishermen attack an elas tic between line and hook so the strike will mot tear the hook loose. The other possibly i3 that it is rather a sluggish. deep water fish that seldom stirs himself enough to catch up to a moving artificial Then too, there is the size of the brute. Imagine if you can a tenâ€"pound whitefish. Personally, I have never seen one even approaching that weight before, but I suppose there is a first time for ~verything. I don‘t know what Del inâ€" tonds doing with this fish, but if it was mine I‘d be tempted to have it mounted and hung on the wall It may not be the lâ€"rgest fish he will catch, but I‘m willing to bet it will be the most unusual.
