AFIELD
in Maryland
BY Lefty Kreh

shark will peel 100 yards of line
from your reel spool before you
realize it's hooked. This re-
quires a reel with plenty of line
capacity and the ability to not
heat up when line strips from
the reel at terrific speed.
For bass and trout fishing in
fresh water a reel holding Just
the fly line and maybe Is or 20
yards of backing is sufficient.
The Line
Here all sorts of troubles can
begin when an angler selects a
proper fly line. If the fisherman
is after trout on a stream that
is glass clear and quiet, he'll
need a double taper line to al
low him to place the fly on the
water with a delicate touch, not
alarming the fish.
Using the same outfit for PAN
fish, trout under many condi-
tons, and bass fishing in small
streams, a forward taper line
sometimes called a torpedo ia
peri, is needed to get the best
results.
A level line is not much good,
it casts poorly, sinks quickly,
hits the water hard and in gen.
eral is not suited to good fly
fishing.
A warning concerning lines
might be wise. A GBF line of
one company weighs as much
as a CAT from another COM
pany. Lines are not standard
lied and the angler should
check and be certain that the
line he gets matches his rod.
With proper rod, line and reel,
fly fishing is one of the most
fascinating ways to take fish.
Correct tackle and few min
utes of instructions by a fellow
angler who knows how to cast,
will teach an angler to handle
his outfit well enough to take
fish. Few anglers who master
the fly rod ever turn to other
kinds of tackle, even though
they may know how to use
spinning, bait casting and other
gear.

Of Fools and Xmas

Sports Editor

At the organization meeting of the Mont
gomery County Adult Softball league umpire
commissioner Bill Collins expressed his per-
sonal view that arc lights would do wonders
for the sport in Montgomery County.
There is nothing spectacular in this
statement, of course, but the view of most
everyone else within earshOt is worth re.
peating.
The general consensus of those present
was that night softball for Montgomery County
doesn't have ghost of a chance In fact any
innovation in sports in the County would be
viewed dimly by the managers of the populace
The boys league in Rockville, Kensngton, Da-
mascus, Poolesville and the County Boys Base
ball programs are the exceptions.

"And they didn't come there for free either,
they paid dollarand-a-half head to get in"
If more than thousand fans showed up
for one of the County's softball contests
chances are Senator Kennedy would be on the
mound, Nixon would be catching and Werner
Won Broun would be calling balls and strikes

Unlike most kinds of fishing,
fly fishing demands perfectly
balanced equipment, if the an
gler ever hopes to become pro-
ficient at tossing flies to fish.
The rod, line and lure must
all cooperate. A big heavy rod
and light line will not cast, even
In the hands of an expert.
For trout in local streams a
rod of six feet, or at the most
seven feet is best. Years ago
anglers figured d rod had to be-
seven and half feet long before
you cast fly. Fibre glass has
changer that idea, and excellent
rods, costing less than $50 can
be had in the six foot length
that will cast IS feet with little
effort.
The same rod mentioned for
trout is excellent for panfish,
crappie and bass fishing on
small streams.
If you want to fish farm
ponds, the Eastern Shore rivers
and mill ponds, or the Potomac
River with fly rod, you'll need
a rod slightly bigger. Some ex-
perts like a nine-foot fly rod to
propel big bassbugs, other an
glers just as skilled, cast the
same bugs on eight or nine and
half foot rods.
Casting big streamers and
bugs calls for a heavier line
and such lines demand rods of
power at least eight feet long.
In selecting rod it is much
better to get an expert fly fish
erman, of which there are few,
to select the rod, and the line.
The angler who fishes for
trout and bass is much better
off if he owns two rods, one
of six or seven feet in. length
and another about eight or nine
feet long.
The Reel
Unless you expect to fish for
salt water fish with your fly
outfit, forget about spending
money on a reel. In salt water
fishing a big rock, bonefish, or

Capt. Lew Napfel, who runs

been fairly slow UP until now.
A few good rock have been
taken around Brickhouse Bar
and some pan-sized rock in the
eastern bay, and that's about it
for the upper bay area.
Jumping clear down to the
Point Lookout area, Capt. Louis

pan-sized rock, their season
hasn't even started yet. Capt.
Bean says he will start operat-

as the hardheads arrive. Well

Capt. Rodi Langley who OPP

picking up in his area. They
have plenty of pan-sized rock,
but as yet, have not found any
big fish. l guess we have been
more fortunate in our area as
we have enjoyed a good start
this season.
Capt. Johnny Manifold says
his boats at Deal have found
some good sized rock just south
of Poplar Island and plenty of
pan-sized rock in Herring Bay.
After the fabulous catch we
had on the Gooses May 3, we
had no other choice except to
keep going back with the FOL

better with % good fish run

Sunday it blew a gale and no
one fished. Monday it was still
blowing but Mr.. Kenny Clark,
Mr.. Charles Muier and Mr.. Cleo
Carter, all of Silver Spring,
joined me in proving that all
fishermen are nuts, by battling
the wind all day again on the
GooseS.
We also proved that the good
fish were still on the GooSes by
catching 10 fish up to 1874 lbs.
Tuesday and Wednesday we lost
them and Thursday, instead OF
good fish, we hit pan-sized rock
all over the upper Gooses.
We caught well over 100 and
kept 81. 1t is not likely that the
good fish have moved yet, and
since there are plenty of pan
rock there we will continue to
try this fruitful area.
There is a report that may
or may not be true, that some
of the pound nets over around
Hills Point have caught some
hardhead. AS soon as we can
get a report we are able to con-
firm, we will let you know. 1t
