Dove Strikes Fish
Bait in Midair as
Angler Practices

PRESCOTT, Ariz., JAN 10. (UP)
When Jimmy Stevelund, Prescott
hunter and fisherman, goes dove
shooting next fall, he will be armed
with a fishing rod and can OF
worms, instead of the usual shot
gun.
Stevelund's decision came as the
result of a preseason unlimbering
of his rod and reel.
AS he whipped his rod, line at
tached, back and forth in front OF
his home near here today, Steve
lund could almost see the fish rise
and take the bait. To further the
illusion, he hooked an artificial
worm on the hook. He whipped the
line through the air some more.
Then Steveland got a hard
strike.
Keeling in his line, the aston
iShed fisherman discovered a dove
firmly embedded on the hook. The
bird had taken the artificial worm
in mid-air.
