As Mr. Gray thought the horse he was‘ getting from the minLster the better of the two he asked the minister why he was getting rid of the horse. ‘libs reverend said he turned the horse out to pasture about every day and that he was very hard to catch.

BY the law of averages, some of these big trout will‘ be causht every year. and it is every flshermsnb dream that he'll be one of Dame Fortune's favourites.

3 pound trout are reasonably common. Most every angler of note has caught a number of that weight. but it is passing strange how few fishermen, including olcs timers who have 40 years angling and better to their credit who have caught trout actually weighing 4

ds on any tested scales. When

t comes to 5 pounders. the per- centage is cut in half and fisher- men who have hooked and landed 6 pounders and better (legally) are few and far between. The biggest trout I ever saw after it was caught was the one landed by Lloyd Weeks, City, in April, 1944. This particular trout weighted 6 1-4 pounds. eluding the l1 large smelts it had eaten shortly before its demise.

I have seen bigger trout in their natm-al element and as fares I know they are still there. Three years ago, there. were two monsters in the hole under the spillway at Rose's Mill. Vernon River. Gordon Rom. the owner of the mill told me about them. He said they were there the year before also. He said

me: “Sonia morning at day- break, before Iilet thwwater run. lie down on that pile of old slabs and put your face close to the water and look in the deep hole under them". I did lust. that about a week later and what I saw fairly took my breath away. in fact I didn't feel too oomfortalble with my face so close to the water. Both were big trout but one, was a lot larger than its mate. It was longer than- the trout caught by Weeks’. looked to be fully 3 feet in length and at least 6 inches across the shoulder.

One mornin. a trout that had been taken rom a p001 at the head of North Lake the evening before. was brought into the factory cookhouse that weighted 8 pounds with head and entrails removed. Suffice to say that this trout along with a com- panion trout. almost as large. were not taken with hod: and line.
