Local children have had a fine
vacation right here in the local
swimming pool. Some of them
haven’t missed a day since water
was first let into the pool and as
one youngster was overhead saying
to another, “Isn’t it fine that we
won’t be having to beg anyone to
take us swimming any more, but
we can just go.” So if you should
miss your child from home during
this month and next, the swim
ming pool will be the most likely
point to begin hunting for him.

Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission
HOT, HOT WEATHER MAKES FISH
TOO LAZY TO BE ACTIVE
I T really isn’t true, this accusation that fish don’t try to
bite during this, the hottest part of summer.
The truth is, they are like most of us—too lazy to do
anything but look for cool spots.
Every year in late July and Au
gust fishing success tumbles and re
ports of large catches are scarce. It
isn’t unwillingness to bite on the part
of. our finny friends. It’s just that
they are too lazy to be active.
Oldtimers call this period the “sepa-
rating-the-men-from-the-boys” part of
the fishing cycle. It’s no secret that it
takes experience to latch onto a lunker
when the fish are lazy and the water is
warm.
Because they are cold blooded creatures, fish prefer
cold water. They are more active when the water tem
perature is less than 80 degrees and in cooler water,
their body functions are speeded up. By being active,
fish build up their appetite. That’s why they are more
easily caught during the spring and late summer. They
are hungrier then because they are more active.
Some anglers have been led into the false belief that
during hot weather, fish linger on the bottom of lakes and
ponds. While it may be true in some cases, the majority of
times it isn’t.
Fish are like human beings in that they look for the
most plush and easiest life available. In the summer, that
would be in areas where the water is cool and oxygen is
plentiful.
During hot weather, there is usually not enough
oxygen for fish to survive on the bottom of lakes and
ponds. There is, however, a good supply in areas where
the water circulates. So, if an angler can find a spot
where a small stream or spring flows into a lake, he
should be able to fill his creel.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Rivers Most Underated Spots to Fish
For some unexplainable reason, fishermen tend to over
look rivers in their search for top fishing spots. Now that
the once-high water on the Satilla, Altamaha, Ogeechee and
Chattahoochee Rivers has receded, bass fishing is now back
up to par.
High rains robbed fishermen of a goodly portion of
the season but, it seems, they are making up for lost
time. Several reports of large lunkers have made their
way into the Game and Fish office.
In the circulating waters of a river, bass and bream may
be found near the surface, feeding off fallen insects and
foodstuffs and enjoying the comfort of oxygen near the
weed-free top. »
In lakes and ponds, where growth covers the bot
toms, oxygen is not as plentiful as it is in free-moving
water. Thus, bass and bream may be found quicker
and easier in rivers.
It’s this time of year that tests an angler’s patience and
endurance. If he keeps after them during the time it is
most difficult to land them, then he’s a true descendant of
Isaac Walton.
