I’M old Hi
f ft
* Howdy, fishermen! Seems mighty
food to meet you fellers again. You’ll
recall that last spring and summer we
got together here each week to talk
over the ins and outs of fishin’. We
caught some big trout, bass, pike and
all sorts of other game and pan fish,
and had a lot of fun.
1 Old Hi received a stack of letters
from you rod and reelers all over the
country, saying you like these little
confabs, had picked up a few ideas
and got some of your questions an
swered. Glad to have heard that, and
hope many more of you will drop me
a line this year.
Yep, if there’s a problem puzzling
you, just cast it my way and I’ll try
to untangle the backlash. Or if there
ere certain topics you’d like some
dope about, let me know and they’ll
be given “first aid” treatment in this
column —or by personal reply if
you’ll enclose a stamped, self-ad
dressed envelope. Send your requests
to Old Hi, in care of this newspaper.
So we’re off to another net-filled
season, and now is the right time to
get set for it. This means we’ve got
Some important work to do before
hitting the lakes and streams to tease
the tackle busters. How about your
rods, reels, lines, and lures? Are they
in good condition to survive rough
battles with hefty fish in the coming
weeks or are they worn and damaged
from last year’s hard usage?
Have you enough hooks, leaders,
sinkers, lines, flies, plugs, and similar
items? Do you need a creel, tackle
1 kit, automatic fly reel, glass bait cast
ing rod, spinning rod, minnow pail,
< bait box, landing net or aluminum fly
box?
Dig your tackle out of the closet or
winter storage place and go over it
carefully this month. Perhaps your
split-bamboo fly rod nee-ds new wind
-1 ings, or the guides may be worn and
have to be replaced. Don’t wait until
I the trout season opens to tinker with
your tackle, or the first trip may be
ruined by faulty gear or the lack of
some necessary equipment.
Take stock now not only of how
your outfit shapes up for the action it
i will soon undergo, but also of what
additional things you’ll want. Drop in
at the local sporting goods store and
have a look at the latest tackle crea
tions on hand. There are new glass
rods, improved reels, “heat-stretched”
lines and tested lures for greater
sport and better catches.
Then, for facts on how, where and
when to use this tackle, send a post
card request to me, Old Hi, in care of
this newspaper for your free copy of
' the booklet “Fishing For The Mil
lions.” ,
