John and Ed Ellickson and Theo.
Tellefson went up to Lake Wisconsin
fishing lase Friday.and Saturday. Now
you know where togo if you want some
fish stories. When the dam was built
at Prairie du Sac this overhowed lot
of farms and made Lake Wisconsin. At
the bottom of this lake are all kinds of
farm implements, orchards, barb wire
fences, fallen trees, ETC., so when you
are fishing you cannot tell what you
are liable to hook onto. Theo. had a
good bite and began to haul him in and
was sure he had monster. After a
hard struggle he landed nice pike and
eight rods of barb wire. They say Ed.
can get more sport out of fishing than
the average. He was fishing for. blue
gills; they bit good, but his boat was
too narrow and he would throw them
over into the water on the opposite
side. They say he should fish length
wise of the boat. After some time
they found out that he had been very
busy pulling out the same hungry blue
gill all the time. He would sling it
over the boat and the fish would go
under the boat and take his bait until
he had been swinging this blue gill till
it got so dizzy it could not find his bait
and the sport ended.
