BY LEFTY LEE
Times Fishing Editor

The Times Let's Go Fishing bass
contest has closed, and the winners
are recorded, but we will delay the
announcement of the prize list until
Monday, to permit today's space to
be used for the weekly stream re-
port.
Conditions for the angler over the
weekend are quite promising, and
if you have put the rod and reel
away for the winter, our advice is
for you to dig it out and get the
prize mess of the year. Here is the
report as received from the
wardens:
Warden Havel, Newton and Jasper
Counties-The streams are normal,
and some fish are being taken, but
they are not biting so fast. There
also are some duck along the
Kankakee river, but there is very
little water in the marshes. e.
Warden Roth, Shafer and Free
man Lakes-Silver bass are biting
at the Oakdale dam. Crappies are
biting well in both lakes. Eight
fishermen who went out after
crappie at Franks Lodge Wednes-
day returned with their limit. A
few black bass also were taken.
Warden Bartock, Lake and Porter
Counties-The streams and lakes
are clear, and the fish are biting
well. Deep river vegetation is lining
the banks of the streams.
Warden Summers, Howard and
Grant Counties-All streams are
normal and clear. Some fine bass
and crappie are being taken from
wildcat creek in Howard county.
Streams Low and Clear
Warden Grossman, Noble and De-
kalb Counties-The fishing has
been poor during the last week.
The streams are lower than usual,
but they are clear. Several good

thing points to some good duck
hunting.

fishing in the st. Joe river north of
