According to doctors representing the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Criminal Code purports to describe a men- tal condition that does not exist. In one clause, it deals with the trial of "a person who has specific delusions but is in other respects sane." But the doctors hold that delusions signify mental illness, without qualification. Similarly, they have suggest- ed to the House of Commons yommittee on revision of the Code that words like "Sane". "insane". 01' "lunatic" should be repisced by the terms "mentally competent" or "mentally incompetent!

The Pass

THE FISIIERMANS ETHICS Knowing of my deep interest in the art of fishing, ii. young man who plans to Journey forth with fly rod for the first time has asked me to give him what. he calls "a. few pointers". It appears that he did not have in mind any spect- ftc rule involving technical s in casting -and such like. If that had been the case he would not have come to me for I In! for from being an expert in such mat- ters, an admission to which many of my fishing companions past and present. would add a fervent Amen. My young friend's real interest, I gather, was in what might. be call- ed ths ethics of the sport, and this is s subject on which I can speak or write with some con- viction. This conviction is based on considerable experience though it is not, of course. stamped with my lmprimatur pf authority. 0 0

By way of preamble to what. I 5'-lzzested to the young man who appros.ched me for advice. and which I new venture to put. down in this column, I wouud like to observe that it isn't my easier to say exactly what qualities make up 3 good fisherman than it is to define s. good citizen or A good neighbour. Involved in each case are certain intangibles that can. Mia Very Well be put to specific language.

No one would be notvs enough to assume that all who venture forth with rod and reel are real

sportsmen. some, sad to say, are

nothing more than fish pluiiderers. and some are dowiiriglit poachers, on the whole, however, I think it can be said that trout fisher- men csn hold their own, ethically speaking, with any other group of sportsmen. '1' don't suppose that any two of them would agree in every detail on what distinguishes the good fisherman from the bad one. but. in s number of ethical essentials there would. I iLm sure, be virtual unanimity. These es- sentials. allowing for modification here and there. I take to be as follows:

(1) Respect for tho rrinciplo of

Conservation

No fisherrnan worth his soil. will intentionally do any permanent darnsge to his country's natural resources. He will be careful to re- gard a. fishing license as s privil- ege to be safeguarded. not as an instrument of exploitation. While enjoying his own fishing privileges to the full. he will' never forget. that he is expected to respect the rights of future generations. Both by precept and example, chiefly the latter, he will support every measure intended to protect re- sources snd, as opportunity of- fers. he will help to improve them. This I take to be Just plain com- mon sense.

(2) lleqpoot. for Regulation Here I sm not thinking of poach- iru which, apparently, goes on without interruption. I am think- ing more of regulations governing legal limits, minimum lengths and the like. An inch or two in the length of s trout may seem is small thing to the indifferent angler. To the sportsman it is a matter of some importance. When in doubt as to the length of 8. fish he will return it to the water, gently if not always cheerfully.

No doubt there are flaws and in- consistencies in all game laws for the simple reason that the men who draw them up are not always wise men. On the whole. however, they are sound. and it is the duty of all sportsmen to observe them in the letter and spirit, while re- serving the domocrotlc right to press for their modification if and when conditions appear to demand it. It is strange that many persons

The srtlculate ban fisherman can put up quite a good defence for his use of the worm and other delicacies. The pm. sportsman tries to see both mp, of the question and he docs mi allow his fondness for the (1,. I make him haughty in :11. pmlenc” of those who see things 1,, an! other light. '

There is plenty of room for bmh the "fly man" and the wbm. ma". and neither has any jna1m)ab1e' right. to belittle the other.

(4) Respect for Little Skill

Fishing is like any other an n his: to be learned. And. as i m other arts, some learn more ql.llL'k'y than others. Fly Casting is especlg ally difficult. It calls for much pal. lmch 80041 ludsemem. stendiiiass of hand and nerve. I have been Dresent (never ssh contestantl at several fly casting tougnammm From my point of'vtew there ii nothing more thrilling to wmcli Much more exciting than :3 nor- key game.

some of the experts at these tournaments have never fished in their lives, but that. fact does not lessen the value of their niaslcry Now and then one comes across is real expert in practical action 0,, a stream or lake, and his perfor- mance is a matter for delight. At the same time. the man who mp, 10 impress less competent Cnslerx with his great. skill and finesse is the most in suffersble bore rm. sgiriable. The good sportsnian nevgr "shows off". As for ridiculing tha amateur. that he would regard U the one uiipardonable sin in :11. calendar. The pleasure of niigling does not lie in any skill or pro- ficiency. It lies in a honest stats of mind.

(5) Respect for the Theorciln Viewpoint

Most of us go fishing lust for the fun of it. Speculations mu- cerning weather. winds. Vldes, phases of the moon, scarcely ever have any influence on our in- cllnstlons or methods. The theor- ist. snd one is sure to come it- cross him sooner or later in the season. does not operate on hap- hazardly. The tide must. be just right. The moon must be in A particular phase. The wind must be from the right. quarter. A certain fly must. be given the pre-eminence. There is a place for the wet. fly and there is 8. place for the dry one.

These are solemn technicali- ties sbsolutsly necesary to his happiness. In his zeal for specul- ative theory he is likely at times to be 8. bit wearying. Neverthe- less, he has his place in tlir wide scheme of things. and it. may be that he has something to teach the rest of us. The good sportsrrmn is careful to realize that. there is no essen- tial conflict between science and art in the matter of angling.
