Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1942-05-21

well! wei. lne sun peepeu
through for a few hours the 9TH
er day and right away for the
few who ventured out found the
"gills" on their spawn.
Ask AL Snyder what he thinks
of carp.
A couple of the boys from CO.
lumbus sure made a big haul
last Sunday. They went out to
fish for "cats" and when they
came in they had eats. Yes,
sir, about 40 pounds Of them,
the biggest weighing about 5
pounds.
John Francis of Avondale likes
to catch "gills" on the fly, if
he can keep the fly on the lead
er, and Of course that's where it
has to be to catch 'em.
Harold "Spic" Wright didn't
tend the baby boy Monday. He
left him with MON" and went
"a-fishin'" and did he catch a
mess. Oh boy! big black ones.
The "blue gills" are hitting the
fly so well now that even | slip
ped off the other night and tried
my luck ? ? :?
Jess Henery bought himself a
(swell elegantly fly rod and is
that fellow really putting it to
use.
A miracle-yes, the lake came
up an inch from the past rains.
No they didn't drain it off
and that is something.
Oscar Anderson and John Ian
! man of Newark were out the 9TH
er day and caught some real nice
''Eries" and are now cunning for
"gills" and | expect they will
get them, too.
Herman Hart and son Ed. have
been coming out quite regularly
and at that Herman hasn't fell
| in the lake for over a month.
They tell me Ted Helser was
etching" to come fishing the
other night but due to an urgent
meeting in town had to postpone
his trip, especially when the
"gills" were taking the fly.
When | go to town | usually
start early in the morning, but
there are others who can beat
me. The other morning "Bill
Hoover" from up Buckeye Lake
way was an early morning city
caller. He goes to town on bus
mess just about as early as the
boys come out here fishing.
Stopped in at Farquhar &
Steinbaugh's the other day and
in came a couple of women. One
of them wanted to buy a new
casting rod, although | overheard
her say she never had used one.
Boy, the bass are in for a lick
ing now when the season comes
in.
Scott McCracken, the candy
salesman used to fish, they tell
me but | never hear Of him 60
ing any more. What's the mat
ter, Scott?
They tell me Bob Nutter went
down in the country last Satur-
day and Jonathan Creek was the
scene of activity. Fish, fish,
fish yes, he's going again
this Saturday.
Harold Smith at the Trust Co.
hasn't been fishing yet this year.
He says: Hes just waiting on
the weather" that's all.
Haven't heard much about
Fred Abbott and his fishing ex-
ploits yet this season. Oh well!
it's early.
On my way to town the other
day | noticed a dog near the
shrubbery in Edgar Albright's
yard at his home near Jacktown.
The pointer had me fooled for a
little while but | can't figure out
yet whether a taxidermist did a
good job or the pottery nodded
him. But nevertheless | don't
think he'll bite you:
Lawrence Callander started
off this spring to fish in big
way the weather must have
stopped him like a few more.
Better come out Cal if you want
to catch any before the hot
weather comes.

Haven't seen Perry Bullock for
a long time. Too much work on
the railroad, suppose. Bring
your "kicker" out P. B. and give
'er try once again.
Paul Hottinger of Jacktown
fishes a lot these days since he
was laid off at Pharis. He sure
"horses" them in on a fly rod,
even bass (out Of season.. He's
just waiting to use a nipple on
one of those big-mouths.
