Incidentally, the Tigers in Chi

However, as pointed out by a

lakes and streams. cheered by
reports that fishing would be the
best in -many-yeaFs.- s.------
Oakland County lakes, as usual,
were taking the heaviest pound

Detroit and other nearby cities
headed for these waters early last
evening 10 be on hand for the
official opening which came at
midnight.
Boats were at 4 premium on
Pontiac Lake. one OF the finest
bass and bluegill grounds in
Michigan and, as usual, you could
walk across the lake stepping
from one boat 10 another.
Cold weather of recent weeks
delayed spawning with the result
that most anglers found bass and
bluegillS still on their spawning
beds. Because of this condition
fishermen found better than aver
age luck in shoal areas.
Bait stations and boat liverieS
along the route reported a tre-
mendous demand for minnows,
worms and licenses. Sports goods
stores in downtown Detroit re-
ported the heaviest call for fish
ing licenses in four years. with
one store reporting long line
up of anglers waiting to purchase
their 81 license.
Slackening of war production
and more gas than anytime since
gas rationing began was given
for the increased interest in fish
ing. Shortage of meat, too, was
another factor, although most
anglers do not want TO be known
as "mcat" hunters.
