LAKE TROUT FISHING
Thousand Island and Black
Oak Lakes Opened up Sat
urday---Good Catches Be-
ing Made.

Genuine weather for angling
after lake trout Tor land-locked
salmon)-snow furries, ice-cold
breezes and little rain mixed in
on the side. OF course this gives
the enthusiastic trout man a
case of shivers and dampens his
ardor somewhat, but still he is
Tohnnv-on-the-lake with his little
fishing rod and box Of bait. It's
great sport, this early spring
angling for the big fellows.
Thousand Island and Black
Oak lakes are free from ice since
Saturday and are producing some
nifty fish. The largest catch SO
far reported was made Friday
in Black Oak bv A. J. Dennis of
Minneapolis. He landed an IL
pound trout, but came near los
ing his life in doing SO. He went
on the ice, which had started to
move out, dragging a rowhoat
with him. The ice gave away,
and but for hanging onto the
boat he would have been drown
ed.
Prime lake trout fishing is good
for period of fifteen or twenty
days-aud it is good sport while
it lasts.

Tohn Eischenbauch's visit to

from Arbor Vitae, calls to the
writer's mind a fishing expe-
dition which John chaperoned

the writer and another Swede
from Wausau and Pete Refs and
three more Arbor Vitaens to &C
company him to a new bass lake
out from Woodruff where the
fish, so he said, were SO voraclous
that each man had to carry a
stump in order to hide behind
while batting a hook. In order
to further strengthen the taleJohn
affirmed that Just the day prior
two fellows If his acquaintance
had hshed but forty-nine minutes
by a stop-watch in the aforemen-
toned lake, and quit with ninety
seven green bass, each one weigh
ing not less than three pounds.
The bunch was all enthusiasm
and no time was lost in making
the trip, launching the boats and
beginning operation. IT'S nut sed
for Johns trip fell fat. Never a
bass-not even a perch was
hooked. In fact John bad Sc
cured his information from a
couple of jokers who steered him
up against frog pond where a
fish had never been known to in
habit. TO this day Eischenbauch
is damned bv the bunch for his
failure to produce the goods.
