It's trout fishing time again in Georgia, with the
management areas opening this weekend. Each of
the management areas that has trout streams will
be open; however, only certain streams on the
, management area will be open each weekend and
the remaining streams will be open on two days
during the week, normally Wednesdays and
Thursdays.
The streams on the management areas have
been stocked and are stocked throughout the
summer with catchable size trout. This stocking
allows many Georgians an opportunity to fish for
and catch trout that would not ordinarily be
available since the heavy fishing pressure on the
trout stream would soon deplete them of their
native inhabitants. Some of the Georgia steams
are limited to artificial bait only and require that
all fish caught be placed back in the stream ex
cept those over a certain length, or each angler is
restricted to saving only two of the fish caught.
What makes trout fishing such a luring sport
when most trout fishermen could sit on the bank of
a pond and catch many more pounds? One of the
things is the beautiful natural scenery that nor
mally accompanies a fast running, cold mountain
stream. The streams are usually overgrown to a
great degree with mountain laurel and other
blooming plants as well as many beautiful wild
flowers that grow right on the stream’s edge.
What bait to use is a question that universally
has been asked by trout fishermen over the ages.
The popular thing today is corn. The type corn
used is the whole kernel canned corn that is
hooked on a small long-shank hook and floated
along the bottom, using a smallweight. I prefer
the use of crickets over other live bait, but many
say that the old stand-by red worms, will catch
more fish.
It is also a great deal of fun to try dry flies and
wet flies, and small spinners are quite effective at
times. The best way to fish a trout stream is also
the hardest and that is to fish upstream. The
reason for this is that trout normally lie facing
upstream and feeding on things that come floating
down. Therefore,, they are less likely to see the
approaching angler or to notice a disturbance in
the water that he might have made.
In our small North Georgia streams, though, the
limited area one has to cast in normally dictates
that you will have to fish down stream and quietly
and carefully float the bait to the fish. We nor
mally use a small lead sinker just large enough to
keep the bait either on or near the bottom and
placed about 10 to 12 inches above the hook. This
allows the bait to drift along the bottom and float
freely in the stream while it’s retarded to a degree
by the lead weight.
In a small North Georgia stream nothing is
much better to use than a short limber cane pole,
but any type flyrod or spin cast rod can be used for
catching fish.

*** If You See Tornado Coming ... Duck! ***
"If you see a tornado
coming, duck!”
That’s about as good as
any advice which weather
men can offer to residents of
the mid-state area as the
season of severe thun
derstorms and tornados has
arrived.
While the statistical in
cidence of tornados in this
area is relatively small
compared with certain areas
of the mid and southwest, the
area is quite high in the
number of severe thun
derstorms reported an
nually.
Sam Davis, Warner
Robins, who heads the
National Weather Service
bureau at Wilson Airport,
Macon, and Captain M. K.
Austin, commander of the
Air Force’s Air Weather
Service Detachment at
Robins AFB, both that
the recently announced
provision of radar in
formation on severe weather
will be "no panacea.”
Davis has been getting
weather radar reports for
some time from the NWS'
Waycross radar by facsimile
machine, and the Athens

Campground
Trustees Meet
The trustees of Dooly
Campground near Vienna,
Georgia and the
Representatives of local
United Methodist Churches
of the Americus District and
their Pastors, met at the
campground on Wednesday
May 3 to hear reports on the
progress in facilities and
outreach being enjoyed by
Dooly Campground. It was
reported by Mr. A.B. Carlan,
Chairman of the Trustees,
that during 1971 a total of ■
139,000 had been spent on
improvements at the
campground. These included
a new dining hall, a new well,
and the moving and
renovation of the Saint Paul
Chapel where the meeting
was held.
Those present set a goal of
raising $13,000 during the
next year to pay off a loan
and to make other needed
improvements. The high
point of this Funds Cam
paign will be a special
"Dollars for Dooly" offering
to be received in each United
Methodist Church of the
Americus District on
Father’s Day, June 18.
The outreach of the
Christian Faith continues to
take place through summer
camps for children and
youth and the Annual Dooly
Camp Meeting which will be
held this year during the
week of July 23-28. as well as
other activities held
throughout the year at this
historic campground.

Force radar reports are
given to the NWS Wilson

that the Robins AFB antenna

the middle of the area, and

assumptions voiced by the
public since the an

seem soundless:
Tornados can be traced,
and advance warnings given

Staffers Attend
UGA Workshop
Home Journal staffers
Maxine Thompson and Phil

week.
The workshop was

newspaper journalism were
held in the three day seminar
on the U.G.A. campus of
Athens.
Home Journal publisher

techniques and reporting, we
attempt to send staffers to
every available workshop

Highly unlikely, say the
weather experts. Davis notes
that tornados have erratic
paths, can form in minutes,
andhave widely varying
durations. Chances are that
radar can track the weather
system which spawned the
tornado, but a given system
may generate multiple
numbers of twisters.
A tornado can be forecast.
Absolutely not, says Davis.
Conditions which favor
tornado development can be
forecast, but not the oc
curence of the storm itself.
When conditions favor a
tornado, severe weather
watch notices will be issued
to local news media.
Since all tornados travel
southwest to northeast, with
radar it ought to be easy to
track a twister. First, not all
twisters travel southwest to
northeast. Secondly, the
track line can be erratic.
'1 hirdly, the tornado can
“hook back.”

progress quite easily. Base
radar has a 200 mile range,
with a working range of 120
miles. Radar observers at
Robins AFB call tracking
information to the Wilson
Airport weather bureau and
the information is converted
into bulletins which are fed
to the local news media.
What the observer sees, if
and when a tornado forms, is
a "hook echo.” This is the
dreaded sign of a tornado in
being. Otherwise, what he
sees is a dense weather
system, filled with rain, air
turbulence, thunder and
lightening, and often hail.
Most tornados are visually
sighted, but as Davis points
out, by the time that the

to the weather bureau, and
then to news media, the
specific twister may have
disintegrated.
“We suggest that people
read the pamphlets put out
by the National Weather
Service, available either
through our office or directly
from Washington,” said
Davis. “When an alert is out,
or when someone sights a
severe thunderstorm or
tornado is no time to bone up
on what to do.”
Captain Austin, whose
primary mission is providing
weather to Air Force units at
Robins AFB, and to transient
aircraft crews, said that
while the Air Force is doing
what it can to provide local,
immediate region storm
tracking, "the best thing for
most people is to listen for
weather alerts, and then
look out for potentially
damaging activity.”
