Let's Go Fishing
ANGLERS FACE
REAL WEEKEND
OF REEL SPORT
All Waters Clear, Normal,
and Fishing Is Good,
Warden'S Report.
BY LEFTY LEE,
Times STAFF Writer

Game WardenS reports from all
parts of Indiana will bring JOY to
the thousands of fishermen who
we're heading for their favorite
streams and lakes for the opening
of the season today. The reports
show all bodies of water clear and
normal, and the fishing good.
The days have been counted off
eagerly by anglers who have been
busy preparing for their first trips
of the season and with ideal con-
ditions prevailing, weekend of
real sport is in prospect.
The only restriction will be in
the lake regions, where the spawn
ing beds will be marked off to per-
NIT the fish still on the nest to con-
tinue their spawning undisturbed.
Be sure you have your license or
permit on your person before going
after the big ones. Then, go and
get them.
In the Tule River, Indian Reser-
walton, fishermen are restricted to
but one month Of sport, the month
of May being the open season for
trout During the season just
ended, the government ranger
checked in total of $50 fishermen,
who caught a total of $3.50 trout,
the largest being a five-pounder
caught by Victor kaufman of Port
ersville, Cal.
At the annual outing of the Marion
County Fish and Game Protective
Association last Sunday, novel
casting contest was the feature of
the afternoons outing Regular
equipment only was permitted, the
caster being allowed his choice of
lines from a IL to "a pound test.
A * ounce plug was the most
popular bait, but the weight was
optional with the contestant. The
trial was for accuracy only, each
contestant being permitted twenty
four casts.

placed in different spots, ranging
from twenty to seventy feet away.
Some of the targets were placed
between logs and others under over
hanging branches, so that real skill
was required.
To make the contest more exact
ing, each participant was compelled
to move his position after each cast
and on several of the casts he was
forced to face the sun.
Garry WinderS, the winner turned
in the remarkable score of 205 out
of a possible 240 under these trying
conditions. Lee Winders and Ollie
Baus tied for second place, each
having a count of 201. Stanley Nor
gan from Barbee Lake took fourth
prize with a total of 1913.
Sixteen prizes we're awarded, the
awards consisting of lines, flies, and
bats More than 600 persons were
present to enjoy the work of these
experts of the rod and reel.

Wednesday. The fish appeared to
weigh about five pounds from a dis
lance, but distance was all any one
saw that fish from. as the fellow
who caught it placed it in his arms
football fashion and made plenty of
hot tracks for home, sweet home.
A few "don'ts" for the fisherman
that will keep him away from
trouble are: Don't keep understood
fish. Don't keep more than the limit
catch. Don't forget your license.
Don't forget the bait, and don't rock
the boat.
With the opening of the season,
The Times again invites all anglers
to write and tell about the catches
they make. Take a picture of the
big ones and send it along with your
letter. Just address it to Lefty Lee,
