Now don't smile at the mention of eight or nine pound sea. trout. This summer at Seal River. in the Cardigan River-St. Georges area. a fish. presumed to be a trout. in such a weight bracket. stripped at least a half dozen fishermen of their gear and kept right on go- ing...they had as much chance of stopping its rush as they would if the line had been attached In 1! wild steer In the pasture. I talked to a sportsman who saw one strike. The fisherman was cast- ing methodically although none of his companion anglers wore get- ting any rises. Suddenly there was a soapy boil and this gentleman"-5 reel started to sing and the line run out at an alarming rate. The angler hung on until he was drag- ged in over the top of his waders but the play was short and sweet (or was it?)...the lino snubbed taut and the fly pulled free.
A o .
To handle a fish like that one would want a reel capable of holding at least 300 feet of line. Once the initial rush was over one might stand a nghtiiig chance if one's arm didn't play out. This fish iii thought by some to be either an overgrown rainbow trout or a salmon but both these species are inclined to break water after a short run or sometimes even when hooked. This ilsli once broke water but headed straight out at a sizzling speed every time it was hooked. It is presumed to be the ”same fella" each time.
. Methinks it was the same for no strikes from this mystery rlsli have been reported for some time. Apparently there is a reasoii: An inside tip informed me that some- one. not a sportsman. fastened a. heavy cod hook to a piece of cod line and fastened It to a thwart. under the bridge after baiting it with eithera heavy blob of worms or live gudgeon. Something tool: the bait and pulled off, leaving the hook bent almost straight.

The big fish hasn't been reported since this event. Maybe the big iclloiv enjoyed a little tug of war -.vhcn the odds were in his favour but. swore off this little game when someone pulled it "sandy" on him. Incidentally this type of fishing is called a ”set line" and is deno- itely illegal. o
,A lot of anglers find it awfully hard to play the game where big trout are concerned but there are some who do live up to a sports- niaii's code. I know a chap who has been playing tag with a big trout. one at least two feet long. for three weeks. This trout is un- dcr a private bridge with a deep cool pool uiidcrncalli. ' . . .
This past week he has quit try- ing to coax him with bait. ticaresi. he came to taking the of- fering oi garden hackles was one time he opened his mouth wide iviieii the bait tickled his nose but closed it again without taking a bite. Maybe. he was Just yawning. Anyway this angler is beginning to feel that they are old friends and spends many minutes stretch-
ing his big gills working and the wide flukc tail stirring a cloudy roll in the gravel. He hopes some night. to tie into him with an ar-
what. will happen if he does but hercis wishing him luck.
