Blue river was good TO Walter

De Luse Sunday, their catch num-
bering twenty nice bass OF an aver
age weight Of one and one-half
pounds. These three boys love TO
whip the streams. so they returned
all but Eve 70 the water. De Luse,
an expert with the fly rod, still is
wondering what happened 10 one OF
his flies At the strike he thought
he missed Mr. Bass but on his next
fling discovered that the fish took
the fly with him.
The catfish keep growing bigger all
the time. Fishing In Shafer lake,
eight miles north Of Monticello,
Glenn Watson Of 1924 WoodlaWn
avenue. caught a thirty pound mud
cat. The fish measured thirty EIGHT
inches
Watson also caught five channel
cats. the largest five pounds. The
big one was caught with a sunfish,
as the bait. and the channels taken
with worms Watson also says the
bass were hitting black plug nard
after dark

and Junior three
Audrey Durham Of the Durham
Lock Company. North and Illinois
streets. certainly can get kick out
Of his favorite summer sport. on
a recent trip to Lake MaXinkuckee
with Sergeant Bill Kurrasch. Dun
ham took three small-mouth bass,
the largest weighing three pounds.
Some dandy bluegill also were taken.
The story gets interesting when he
tells about the big carp that broke
his line Just as he was about to
bring il into the boat. The fish
that gets away never grows smaller,
but Durham really is serious when
he saws it would weigh at least
twenty-five pounds.
Carl Vehling Will be whipping the
fly rod tin Liz when he hits West
lake again. as the first time he
tossed this lure out Sunday Mr..
Bass greeted II. mis- Dalt also mas
produced some nice crappie for
Lefty
The rain sent a flock of anglers
out 10 try their luck and the fish
would have responded if that high
northeast wind had died down.
Andy BroShiers still is trying for
bass No. ! casting. BroShierS spends
all his spare time with a rod and
plug and claims he can hit a thirty
inch target four out Of five times,
and also can toss the plug $50 feet.
With the ability TO do this, it should
not be long before We hear Of a
limit catch from this angler.
