featuring two new lures this
season-perhaps we should say
new sizes. He's making the
"Cockeye" lure in size 10 for
pan rock and 20 for almost any

rockf1Sh have been letting the
larger lures severely alone in
the past year, except in the
spoons or wobblers. They seem
to have lost their taste for the

were pulling them in. He COM
planned about the herring which
had been Snagged and just left
to rot on the rocks. Anglers
should at least have the decency
to throw them back in the river
if they don't care to keep them.
In that way the seagulls or big
catfish might have &C hance to
feed on them and it would leave
the rocks above the bridge clean
to fish from. It's difficult to
understand any one snagging
