This is a sad situation when you figure the winter we have just gone through and how bad the urge to go fishing is with most of us. Right now, we would give our eye teeth and maybe even one molar for a crack at a good big speckled trout. is also little indication of an immediate breakup. Guesses of those in the various districts is that ice will go out in about the middle of May. The bait fisherman if he fishes slow and close to bottom should do well. The spin fish At this time, practically every lake north of the Muskokas is ice covered and while there is slush on top of the ice, there Streams in the southern part of the province are clearing, but high. If we get good weaâ€" ther between now and April 30th when the season opens, these streams may still be high, but the water should be clear.

You will find the odd big fellow moving and ready to strike at the first of the season, but the best time to take really large trout is during the later part of July and all of August. Early mornâ€" ing and late evening are the best times, with evening beâ€" ing tops . . . if you can stand the mosquitoes. I am referring of course to waters that stay cold, not those so shallow they heat up and put the trout down except during the hours after dark. Speaking of after dark; both large brown trout and large speckled trout do a lot of heavy feeding during the night hours. If you find your catch is poor, try fishing them at night, although you first should acquaint yourself thor oughly with the waters you will fish.

He is so busy riding herd on a swivel chair and a desk that he doesn‘t get the chance to do the same on a lot of idiots to whom the game laws are just something to be broken. If the trend to more and more paper work keeps up for sportsmen who are still young in years. There are also some young men who get out with rifles and shotguns who are complete idiots.
