On, the days when spring coyly
plumps herself in the lap of winter,
there comes to every angler an in
ordinate desire to alleviate that old
"rod-itch" which has been build
ing up since fall. For some weeks
past the more hardy of the clan
have been indulging in fishing for
yellow perch at Aliens Fresh and
other favorite spots. Another palll-
ative is the pursuit of the lowly
sucker, which with the first spring
thaws undertakes his spawning mi
grafton. Washington's Birthday al
ways has been the traditional OPEN
ing date for this sport.
Suckers may be found in Cabin
Johns Greek and the upper reaches
of Rock Greek; also in the more
distant Seneca Greek, Difficult Run,
the Patuxent and Rawlings Rivers
and the Monocacy, nearly all of
which are reached by bus.
The sucker lives up to his name
in taking the bait, feeding on the
bottom over mud rich in diatoms,
midges, worms and small mollusks
While somewhat bony of structure,
his flesh is succulent at this time
of the year, and taken with fly rod
and reel he is no mean antagonist.
Use small hook on a gut leader,
with split buckshot above the
leader. Cover the hook well with
small angleworms and fish the bot
tom of the deep holes against the
banks and at the foot of rifles, as
well as the smooth stretches. Strike
on any unnatural movement of the
line, and if you happen to hook a
large one, he'll not only give you
a thrill, but well may smash your
tackle if you're not careful in han
ding him. BY all means take along
a landing net if you plan to use
your fly rod and don't forget to buy
your license.
While you are tying up streamers
against the opening day Of the trout
season, we suggest you make I'D a
couple of the following pattern: Use
a No. 10 extra long hook. Tie the
body of black chenille or silk and
rib it with gold. Use light yel-
low bucktail or maribou for the
hackle. That's all there Is to it
Don't doll it up with junglecock eyes,
nor fish 1t with a spinner. If you
wish you can weight the body by
using lead foil strip under the
chenille or silk, which will make it
slightly harder to cast, but will get
1t deeper. If the trout are there
and like a minnow, it really will

Bethesda, Sherwood Girls Focus
On Beating Blair Court Mark

Sherwood has beaten two OF It's
rivals so far this season-Bethes
and Rockville. In two Of its losses
this season, Sherwood was without
three OF its regulars.
Greenbelt has won all Of its Prince
Georges County contests and its
smooth combination hopes to be in
vited to the tournament. Last year
Greenbelt bowed to Fairfax when
they met at Tech. The outfit that
might be an obstacle to its progress
this season Is Montgomery Blair,
the only team to which it has lost
(twice).
Greenbelt's mentor, Mrs. Louise
Stone, has d right to be proud of
her squads record for this is her
first year OF coaching there. Her
mainstays are Lucy Forester, Jane
Linhardt and Patty Bell-the first
a forward and the latter two guards
ALI OF whom are seniors. But Mrs
Stone has two new forwards who
are fast and accurate in Dolores
Wolfe and Pat LOTUS.

While Mount Rainier's team has
lost about half its games, the school
has an outfit of good individual
players, but as Coach Mary Humel-
sine put it. They don't play well
unless they're in a pinch"
The Mounts have one of the best
forwards in the Washington area
in Barbara Gilchrist. Temp JAR
rell, in his column In the Prince
Georges Post, said of her after
watching Barbara play against Hy-
attSville, Without question the
finest player on the floor in our opin-
ion was Miss Gilchrist, the Mounts
star forward. She has acquired the
finest fakes and pivots seen in some
time-boys included"
Barbara Is among the four play
ers from last years team, but this
is her last season. The other three
vets are Vivian Weinstein, Mary Lou
Flester and Jean Giannetti.
