BY LEFTY LEE,
Times Fishing Editor

With vacation days at hand, and
that trip, long dreamed Of, about
to become a reality. the new re-
duced rate. part time, nonresident
fishing license system adopted by
some states should be interesting to
the tourist who loves to wet a
line in strange waters
A complete list Of the states where
part-time, nonresident anglers
license are available, their duration,
and cost are listed below.
Michigan. seven days, 81; Ala
bama, fifteen, $3.50. Arkansas, fif-
teen, $11O; Kansas, ffteeen, 81;
Maine, thirty. S3l5, Missouri, fif-
teen, ST., New Hampshire, three,
S135; Oklahoma. ten, 81; Texas,
FIVE, S11O; West Virginia one, 81;
Wyoming, five, $3.50; Vermont Lake
Champlain), five, $50, and Mary
land deep Greek lake., three, 81.
Mississippi has increased the nom
resident fee from $3.50 to S525,
while Louisiana has reduced its fee
from s. to So for the season. Be
fore these new rates became effec-
tive, an angler was compelled to pay
the full nonresident license for an
entire season, even though he only
fished their waters for one day.
Missouri anglers are being urged
by the fish and game department Of
that state to use good minnow pals,
ones that will keep the bait alive
the entire day, and then to return
those not used to the waters. A
shortage Of this popular bait is the
reason for the request.
With the number Of minnoW
streams and bitches in this state
going dry, it would not be a bad
idea for Indiana anglers to fellow
this method before it is too late.
Dealers who supply this bait to the
fishermen are the chief offenders,
their method being to take every
bait they seine, depicting the stream
that does not run dry. to the extent
of very small per cent of repro
duction.
While SEEMING minnoWs for crap
pie bait, Henry Tulley ran into a
school of black suckers Not wishing
to place them in the same pail with
his bait, he put them on stringer.
When he arrived at the lake, Tulley
remembered that he forgot" the
suckers. The crappie we're biting at
Nyona, however, and in addition to
Tulley, Johnny Bernhard, Harold
Gerdts, Dutch Sauters and his
wife Olive took their limit every
day, never using more than two
hours to accomplish the feat.
A letter from Frank Fiala. owner
of Franks Lodge, Shafer lake,
should be good news for the anglers
planning trips to this popular spot.
Here are some of the catches he
reports: Ray Ira and party, 2l69
North Gale street, indianapolis two
days catch, thirty-tWo silver bass
and five channel catfish f. Nc
Daniels and wife, 1854 North Per-
shing, Indianapolis, twenty-four
silver bass and twenty-five crappie
and blue gill in two days.
Carl Vehling finally broke his
jinx on West lake. Vehling never
could take more than two bass on
a trip to this lake, but fourteen
strikes Thursday night netted him
his limit Of keepers. This boy
hooked one that rivaled the big
one caught at this lake two weeks
ago, but his line would not stand
the strain.
Paul Voight pointed out the spot
where the big blue gills lived on
West lake and the result was
eighteen standards for Lefty" We
also took .wo nice bass.
Eddie Meyer and o. Woodard
tried hard for some black bass on
their trip to Shafer lake. but turned
to channel catfish when their
favorite failed to strike. The re-
suit was thirty pounds of this tasty
food fish, three of them weighing
seven pounds each.
Jack Vending, the boy who lost
a real mess of bass when his patent
stringer broke on Barbee lake. has
offered a reward to any angler who
catches any of these fish. Vending
will give jack casting fly for each
one caught.
The fish were placed on the
stringer with individual snaps,
which easily will identify them.
