Carl Iosey was back from Thun-
der Mountain. Wis, after six weeks
at this famous fishing and hunting
spot, and was getting ready 70 re-
turn when We met him Wednesday.
anglers will understand why he was
on his way back. before the season
closed on trout Sept. l.
A limit catch was common, Losey
getting his every time he casted
Thunder river. The stream had
brook, rainbow, and brown trout,
and the largest one caught was a
brown that weighed a. pounds
The small mouth bass taken ran
from two to FIVE pounds, and they
were plentiful.
The bass are taken at this place
by still fishing. the bait being live
frogs Large minnoWs are used TO
catch the great northern and wall
eve pike. To date. LOsey has had
two lines of 24-pound test broken
and has caught northern that
ran 10 four pounds.
These fish have finished shedding
their teeth, and when ne gets back
ne expects the larger ones TO start
hitting. The blue gill, sunfish and
bullhead catfish are so easy TO
catch that the anglers do not try
FOR them unless they want a mess
o eat. and then it is but the matter
Of few minutes TO catch all they
want.
The red eye of this country be-
comes a real fish. and run from one
TO one and one-half pounds.
Deer are plentiful. but the sea-
son is closed in Wisconsin this year.
The ducks are starting to come in.
and some fine sport is predicted
when the season opens.
Squirrel. both gray and fox. also
are plentiful; in fact, the farmers
If that region shoot them as pests.
The trip is $40 miles.
The veteran Gus Habach, who
Tor years conducted one Of the lead
ing sporting goods stores in the
city; George Hotz. and Heinie
Moesch have been taking some fine
strings of small mouth bass from
the Tippecanoe river, at Lighters
ford.
Indiana does get a few out-of-
state anglers. in the lake region.
DR.. McNutt Of Springfield, o., spent
his annual vacation at Lake Wa
vase. and among other fish, took
one pound and a six-pound
large mouth bass.
The state fish hatchery at Wa
vase has been having some Won
derful success this year and the
number three and four fingerlings
they are sending out are in fine
shape to care for themselves when
placed.
The limit of blue gill that Frosty
Galloway took from Indian lake
were exceptionally large ones. OF
course, he returned a few to the
water. to be able to bring in this
select string. but it required only
two hours, at that.
Nyona lake was a paradise for
Johnny Bernhardt, Henry Tulley
and Heinie Reimer over Labor day,
as they took ten bass. in addition
to limit catches of crappie and blue
gill. each day. We can hear Tulley
telling them to watch the old man,
as he pulled them in. as this ex-
preston is his favorite when the
fish are biting fast. One day Tulley
had his twenty-five crappie in less
than an hour. Bernhard was the
champ when 1t came to bass, how
ever, as seven of the ten taken were
caught by him, while Reimer took
the other three.
The continual hot weather has
slowed things up at Westlake. but
members are getting ready to bring
in the big ones as soon the first
frost hits.
The boys have been missing Jim
Flynn and are wondering if he has
lost interest in his favorite sport.
Bud Winders was casting his fav-
orite stream. Mill Creek at Owen
park, the other day. and landed
three pound one ounce small mouth
bass. q.
FL. station also caught two nice
small mouth bass at Owen park.
each fish passing the two pound
mark. The bait used TO take them
was a black carter.
Have you ever listened in on
Howard Never? Meyer, president
of the United Sportsmen of Indi-
ana. Inc. takes the air each Fri
dsv night in the battle TO stop pol
luton of Indiana streams. The sin
cere manner in which he fights this
obnoxious disposal of sewage and
other waste mater. that not only
greedy manufacturers, but also cities
and I !. dump in the beautiful
stream Of the state, is worthy of
the sui ,ort of all Of us. The sup
port is slow in coming. however,
which makes the battle hard.
We say join the United Sports
men. and in this way fight your
own battle. The men interested
enough TO take up the hard work
involved. without hope of monetary
gain. should be encouraged. and
that is exactly what the officials Of
this organization are doing. VIII
