According to a report from Ed.
Shortridge, Mill creek at Owen park
now is clear. and in fine condition
for fishing. The recent storms in
this section of the state have given
this creek a good wash. and the
flsh new lease on life. and Short
ridge promises good sport for all.
Here we have a new spot for the
angler who likes TO look around. II
the fishing is just one-half as good
as reported 10 us at this spot. we
say, Let's 60" The name of this
place is Kelly Bayou. and it is To-
Gated near Graysville. To reach the
bayou, drive to Terre Haute, and
then south to the town of Grays-
vile. Anyone in this town then can
direct you to the fishing ground.

bass, crappie and blue gill. The
place is impossible to seine. owing

Ira Minnick and George Schweir
will leave Thursday for a trip into
Canada in search of musky and
trout. Leaving Indianapolis, they
will travel TO Manatulin island. At
this point they will leave civiliza-
ton, taking a canoe up the French
river to lake Nippissing. These boys
are we'll acquainted with the fishing
in this part Of the world, and Min
nick has two musky, taken in these
waters, on exhibition at the En-
Roe store. The fish weighed thirty
two and thirty pounds.
Here is a method of cleaning and
frying fish that we think is Just
bit better than any other way we
ever have seen, so will pass it on to
you. Instead Of scaling the fish,
remove the entire skin To do this
cut the skin Just behind the head.
insert the knife under the skim hold
firmly with your thumb and pull
down.
This eliminates scales all over the
place, as the scales will remain on
the skin. After you have removed
the skin, you will find that the fms
can be removed very easily by
starting at the tail end and pulling
up. To fry the fish. use ar iron
kettle with about three 10 four
inches of lard. bring TO a frying
heat, and then drop the fish in,
after coating with flour or corn
meal, as one prefers.
When the fish is fried In this
manner. it will float to the top Of
the kettle, as soon as it Is cooked.
II won't cost much 10 try this
method, and you may like it.
Lambert Burns, inspector at the
Beech Grove shops Of the Big -Four,
used novel method to show the
boys that he caught an eighteen-
inch small mouth bass in Sugar
creek, west Of the city. Burns ate
the fish, and then took the tail to
the shop with him to back up his
story.
This method reminds us OF the
Frenchman who put in a claim
against the A z. r during the war
for killing his dog. When the off,
GER who heard his complaint asked
for the carcass as evidence. the
Frenchy replied that he had eatek
it.
Henry Bogue. coach Of the city
champion high school football team,

canoe lake. The first one was his

ME. caught a seven and one-half-
inch crappie.
Dutch Irrgang has been trying to
