der way for another big weekend

Joining the fishing fraternity in
increasing numbers, and this
prize is expected to stimulate in.
terest even further.
Chesapeake Beach reports hrisl,
fishing during the past week. Cocj
weather has resulted in large
catches of hardheads, trout. Nor.
folk spots, and small rock fish.
Fishing lines are made in two,
types, namely: Twisted and braid.
ed lines. Twisted lines are wen.
nigh useless because they will
kink. OF the braided lines there
are two, the Ilard-braided and
the soft.brafded line. Your choice
will, therefore, lie between these
two.
The soft-braided line is by far
the easiest on the thumb when
casting and is recommended for all
casting In fresh water.
Another good point about the
soft-braided line Is that 1t spools
nicely, lays we'll and forms not as
big a core ais the sitter hard braid,
! ed line. 1t is probable that il
casts Just a little bit better, too.
The bait casting line should be
untreated, that Is to say it should
not come from the manufacturer
treated with any water.prooffng
preparation. Treated lines are all
right in fly.casting but in bait
casting they are out Of place. A
heavily treated line Is very hard
- he T..
method of treating a line with
special oil, Simply put a little
Three-in.One oil on a flannel cloth,
take the line in a pinch of the
fore. finger and the thumb and
pull it through.
That Is sufficient. Don't do
as some: Soak it in the oil. just
to give It a film of oil is plenty.
1t is possible that IL helps some
what in keeping line in q good
state OF preservation.
