The archers' deer season which

Lawn was prepared for that. He

he wouldn't hurry his shot. He
would take his time. jockey il

Fly Fishermen

Audubon Society
Attacks Charge
TO The Contrary

An answer to the accusation
that fly-fishing in America is be-
ing needlessly and ruthlessly
jeopardized by the program OF the
National Audubon Society In its
program on behalf OF wild bird
life is contained in a circular Just
released by the society.
The National Audubon Society
point out where one outdoor writer
has conjured up a picture of a
|hapless fisherman of some future
day. pounced upon by a federal
government agent and tossed into
Ia dank dungeon merely because

hat.
Others they claim have depicted
the legislation as the work Of q
lviciously unfair minority seeking
by underhanded and secret meth
ODDS to deprive millions Of Ameri-
lean citizens of a wholesome and
innocent sport. II has been claimed
THAT the fine art Of fiy-fishing In
America will be killed; that the
legislation has been "snealed
through"

islation. the society says have
sought to make IL appear that q
special sanctity attaches to the
sport Of fly-fishing because Il
started back in 1000 B. c., and
because during the ages patterns
have been developed which are
traditional.
According to the society, 1t
should be possible to take q calm
and unimpassioned view of the
controversy and to seek answers to
to these questions:
"How much will fly-fishine

plumage OF wild birds cannot be

"Will hy-fishing be ruineds 2"
II some difficulties are encoun-
tered, are they of a minor or ma
jor character, and do the benefits
OF wild life conservation promise
10 outweigh the difficulties arising
from any compromises or adjust
ments that must be made?
To very considerable extent
these questions have already found
answers among the fishing au-
thorities themselves. the society
declares.
Merely to Conform
Quoting w. B. Stureis in his
book Fly Tying" published by
Nh,rine Co,-shrnyJs Go 4. 1axn
says:
"The widely-heId belief that
no other feather approaches the
true wood duck I'm effectiveness
Is pure superstition and he fur
Their refers 10 the idea that one
must have wood duck feathers
merely TO conform 20 an out
NODDED whimsy."
The society also refers TO the
book, Fur, Feather and Steel"
by Reuben r. Cross. who dedicated
his work TO those anglers who
never become so engrossed in their
art OF casting and killing trout
that they cannot pause to listen to
the song of warbler or admire
the beauty of a delicate Wild
flower" In one paragraph this
fisherman would appear to dispose
OF a considerable share of the
whole controversy. the society
says by stating: Many anglers
agree that half a dozen patterns
Of flies are ell that are necessary
to take on the stream for sue
cessful fishing"
