Well, fellow fishermen, last week
we began getting our tackle fixed up
for ihe new fishin’ season. We should '
do this carefully, for often it means
the difference between success and
an empty creel.
There are certain small, but essen
tial tasks which shouldn’t be neglect
ed. For instance, you’ll probably do a
lot of trolling for various species of
game fish using spoons, wobblers, and?
spinners as lures. Whether these are,
trolled near the surface or bottom,
they should be bright and flashy at;
all times. . j
Be sure then, to shine up this hard- ‘
ware at the start, and keep a can of
polish and a soft cloth handy in your
kit. Also have spoons in nickel, brass,
copper, chrome-plated, and hammer
er brass in the trays to suit all wea- •
ther and water conditions.
You may hear arguments that tar
nished lures bring better success, but
generally it’s the glinty spoons and
wobblers that attract attention the
quickest and incite the fish into strik
ing with a wallop.
This is especially true when you’re
trolling for king and silver salmon in
Puget Sound and river inlets along
the Pacific Coast. It also holds for
taking landlocked salmon and lake
trout in most Eastern waters. i
Another job is to see that the points
of your hooks are sharp. Test them
at regular intervals after some usage t
for they soon become blunt from ;
snagging into logs and rocks, and
you’ll lose plenty of fish. Tuck a small
carborundum stone in your tackle
kit so as to whet the points when dull
or rusty.
Examine the mesh of your landing
net. The threads may have rotted in :
the bottom from fish slime or blood |
that was not washed off properly, or j
they may h've become worn along <
the rim. We know of huge fish that
were lost because of nets that were
not repaired.
Perhaps the most vital link, though,
is your line. Make sure it is strong
and unfrayed. A bait casting line
especially gets a rough beating, and
needs \o be tested frequently where
attached to lure or leader. If you have
used the casting line for a season, re
verse it on the reel so its service will
be prolonged. The same may be done
with your fly or live bait line, for the
end portion always receives some
wear from the rod guides.
With an old toothbrush and soft,
clean, cloth carefully remove dust and
dirt particles from your bait and fly
casting reels, and add a drop or two
of reel oil. Beware of over-oiling,
however, or you’ll “gum up the
works” for sure!
For a fund of fishing facts, send a
postcard to Old Hi, in care of this
newspaper, requesting a free copy of
his booklet, “Fishing For The Mil-
Uona.” ...
ONE WOED MORE.
Just when The Bulletin of
fice force was rushing to
get out the paper and get
off to Atlanta, for a very
special purpose, the “hen
editor” broke her specks,
which threw a sizable
wrench into the machinery.
What we left out this week
we hope to publish in the
next issue.
If you’d have a mind at peace,
A heart that cannot harden,
Go find a door that opens wide
Into a lovely garden.
