Trout Fishermen Are Ready |

IN TWO days time, the trout men will be having their fling and we'll see some of these Se: around this office on Monday morning when The Evening Patriot fishing contest is held.

This annual event has always created a great deal of in- terest among opening day anglers and this year the interest promises to be greater than ever. Weather conditions are far in advance of last season — the enthusiasts battled snow- | drifts and ice to have their fl

This Sunday’s weather flsnnc itll to be much more suitable for the anglers and it’s likely that some pretty fair catches will be made. The cream of these catches should find their way to The Evening Patriot Monday morning where judging will com- mence at 10:30 sh

FOUR classes will have first and second prizes on Monday. They are: 1—Biggest trout; 2—Best and cleanest trout; 3—best catch of ten; 4—best platter of three.

ants are reminded that no trout will be accepted after the 10:30 deadline. The Patriot office will be receiving entries from 9 o’clock Monday morning up until the judges Ralph Jenkins, vn Acorn and Spurgeon Jenkins begin their judging promptly at 10:30.

If you have what you consider a successful opening day, drop around to The Patriot Monday and see if you can pick

up one of the prizes.

ONE thing seems certain these days and that {s that fisher- men head to the rivers and streams with more fishing tackle than they ever ‘did before. Gone are the days of the bamboo pole and a can of worms

Now even the most inexnerienced angler sets out with loads ef gear which he feels confident will bring in the trout. There are lures, spinners, eemare line, elaborate reels—nearly all of which the common o ry fisherman takes along with him

Despite all these eens inducements to the trout, chances are that some youngsters with the bare necessities will land some of the best trout over the coming weekend

Hard-Hitting Infield

KANSAS CITY ATHLETICS may be a cellar dwelling club but you would never know it from their infield,

It wasn’t the world champion New York Yankees who boast- ed the highest hitting quartet of infielders in the majors last season, It wasn’t Cincinnati either. In fact it wasn’t a first division club at all.

Kansas City oro grabbed this hitting honor with a

Hank Bauer, the pilot of the A’s, expects great things from this quartet in the 1962 season. “There may be a better infield In the league,” says Hank, ‘‘but offhand I don’t know where.”

The value of these four players is enhanced by their youth. Lumpe and Siebern are 28, Causey is 26 and Howser is 25.

They'll likely be heard from again this season,

HUNTERS’ CORNER

Dams Take Bad Trimming During Past Two Weeks

Flood waters that broke on Sunday, April 1st surpassed all previous known records and yet this disastrous flood condition was surpassed by a considerable margin on Sunday April 8th. Our dams and highways took a ter- rific beating. It was General Lu- dendorff, a top German general in the Ist Great War who made the statement that August 8th, 1918, was the blackest day that Ge! r knew. That was the day the Canadian and Aus- tralian armies teamed up at —— — and gave thé

arm, knockout pein It had Sopidauale broke through the line held by General Goff of the British forces and had advanced to the outskirts of the afore mentioned village. On August 8th, as dawn broke, the most intensive artillery bar- rage opened up that surpassed all previous barrages by a wide margin. The German Infantry, and you can take from one of the Red Patch boys, don’t come any braver. They were occupy- ing shallow trenches and dug- outs in flat wheat fields and were in the same position as a vere caught out in the open a cloud burst without an um- brea They were having break- fast at the time and took off so fast they left their cocked rifles ined up on the parapet of the trench without even pulling a trigger.

It may be safely stated that Sunday, April 8th, 1962 was the blackest day our dams ever experienced. . .and did they ev- er take a beating. On Tuesday, April 10th, I talked to a resi- dent of New Glasgow while making a check in the area. He told me he knew of ten dams in the New Glasgow general area and only two surviv the Andrews Dam at New Glasgow and the Simpson Dam at Caven- dish. I was particularly pleased to learn that the Andrews Dam was safe. It was a private dam built by the Camac Construction Company last summer with Ches MacSwain operating the mach- ine. Mrs. Andrews had request- the Department Concerned that I be allowed to supervise the construction of this dam and do so,

As mentioned, in yesterdays write-up in The Guardian, three Departmental dams went out. Crosby’s at Bonshaw, Mac- Leods at Burlington and Bar- low’s at Wellington. The breaks were caused by highway bridges not being able to handle the run-off and temporary dams

were formed in front of thém. The embankments of the dams Wellington and Burlington

oe McInnis’s (Souris Line Road; Dixons (Baltic) Munn’s (New h) and the Shaw MacMillan Dam at Al- berry Plains. They are OK. Those are key fishing spots. The John MacPherson Dam at Glen Martin is safe as well as the Saville Dam at Annandale. To date 20 of the 24 Departmen- tal Dams are still intact or at least no reports to the contrary have been received. The Shaw MacMillan Dam had me wor- ried. It had two close calls. During the last freshett the wa- ter in this dam rose two feet over night. Had it gone out it would have carried away the MacLean Dam (the old Ross dam) as well as the mill site.

Before the highway gave way in front of the MacLean Mil! there was close to two feet of water running over the pave- ment. The water had backed up until it covered the mill floor to a depth of six inches and hudreds ushels awaiting crushing on the floor suffered damage. When I went down into the basement where the deisel engine is locat- ed it was a distressing sight even for a supposedly disinter- ested onlooker. -whic I wasn’t. Three of the MacLean men were trying to dismantle the eingine that was filled with mud and water with over half their wrenches buried in the silt and not located at this time. TROUT PROSP

I guess I have taken up enough space on the debit side of the ledger and will enlighten the trout fishermen as to what I figure their trout prospects are for the opening morning. They could be a lot better then on some previous opening mor- nings and I am predicting top trout fishing in the Morell River for the coming season, The Mor- ell sure got a reeming out this spring. . .the Mooney Dam at St. Theresa’s and the Leard Dam at Riverton went out with a bang. Former top trouting hol- es that have been clogged with sawdust and silt for years should

ack in trout production. If the flood that roared down the length and breath of the Mor- ell does not give it a ‘face lift- ing’ nothing ever will.

Some trout fishermen have expressed a fear that all the trout will be washed out to sea that were in the dams that broke out, They do not get out with a break. They move up- stream or if they are near where the break occurs that keep out of the main artery rushing water and hug the shallow . srg ven water’ returns
