WATER LINE
Depth Saunders for Small Craft
By HANK BOWMAN

For many years boatmen
cruising shallow water during
periods of limited visibility
felt their way along by taking
soundings with an oar, paddle,
boat hook or lead line. One
obvious disadvantage is that
the skipper must reduce head
way.
Electronic depth sounding
devices have been used to give
instantaneous readings for
more than IS years. Yet until
recently none of these devices
was sufficiently compact, light
weight and inexpensive to be
practical for most small craft.
The grandpappy of our
present day sounding device
was first used in 1905. The
instrument actually was in
tended as homing gear so that
boat shippers could locate
lighthouses and lightships in
heavy fogs. A number of light
stations were experimentally
equipped with underwater bells.
Whenever visibility was reduced
the bells were rung.
y
The creators of this electro
mechanical seeing eye dog, an
outfit called the Submarine
Signal Co., equipped several
yachts Of the era with a set of
microphones rigged below the
waterline on either side of the
crafts stem. The mikes were
linked to a pair Of telephone
receiver ear pieces in the wheel
house. The skipper placed a
receiver to each ear. then
turned his craft to port and
starboard until the sound Of the
lightship bells was equally
strong in each ear. 1t was a
crude but effective method.
Later, after the Titanic dis
aster in 1912. experiments were
conducted for a means to detect
icebergs. Underwater sound
devices were used. These pro-
duced sound waves and meas
ured the time required for i'm
pulses to reach bottom, or
bounce back from an iceberg.
this led to the introduction of
the worlds first production
electronic depth saunders.
This echo gear was clumsy
weighed nearly 500 pounds and
required 400 watts of power
But it was the forerunner of
the present day compact, light

craft owners for as little as $125
or even less in kit form.
One new portable Fathom-
eter unit weighs only 5 pounds
and is powered by its own self
contained mercury battery so
that it is completely portable
and can be effectively used in
the smallest boats.

If used in conjunction with

urge, we're prone to ignore all
the unfavorable signs and go
fishing anyway.
1t was no morning for trout
when we set out for Big Hunt
ing Greek with Fred. The day
was starting hot and humid.
1t had rained most of the night
and streams almost certainly
would be high and roilly if not
muddy. On the way to Fred
erick there were signs of a
terrific storm.
Big Hunting near the foot
of the mountain was high as
expected and quite unf1Shable
but we headed on upstream
and found it in passable condi-
ton at Cunningham Falls. =
Resort to Streamers
Since the creek was so high
it was useless to try dry flies,
so we resorted to streamers
and wet flies. Fred put on a
Mizoulian Spook, a fly reSem-
bling a Muddler Minnow but
with a large amount of white.
and went off to fish the pool
under the falls.
We rugged a Ted williams
Fiberglas fly rod that is 712
feet long and weighs 41
ounces. On HDH line we tied
a 6X tippett and a copy Of the
homemade Muddler on which
we had so much luck on the
last trout trip.
1t wouldn't work that day,
though. because it was too
much the color of the muddy
water, so we switched to an
Edison Light Tiger. This fly's
yellow body also didn't show
up well, so we tried successive
/ ly version Of the Black Ghost
tied with white bucktail, a
Royal Coachman and then our
own invention.
This is a streamer tied with
silver tinSel, polar bear hair
and orange maribou feather.
1t should have been visible and
probably was, but it also might
have scared the trout half to
death because none went for
lit.
BY this time Fred was back
with a fine brook trout and a
tale of losing two others under
meath the falls.
Determined not to be skunk
ed we headed downstream and
found a succession of rifles
ending in a large, quiet pool.
There we tried a wet fly version
of the California Coachman
with body of yellow floss and
peacock herl and white wings.
Just where the rifles met
the pool we had our first strike,
a half-hearted tug. Successive
casts produced no fish so we
went on to a long, deep run
guarded by overhanging trees.
1t could only be fished by roll
casting; that is, bringing the
rod tip back smartly to the
side and then forward in a
rolling motion.

scathingly called sinker-bounc-
ing, in Chesapeake Bay. Very
often the rockf1sh can't be
taken any other way.
We're speaking of the sports
man who goes often enough to
be an addict. After a while he'll
become welded to one of the
many forms of fishing ano
scorn any other. The big game
angler may go in for surf cast
ing but it's doubtful. The con-
f1rmed bait caster won't go in
for spinning, and so on.
Likes Stream Fishing
Take our friend, Fred
O'Rourke of Bethesda. Fred
is adept with any kind OF
tackle but his big love is stream
fishing with spinning outfit
for bass. Fred also likes to
wade and seldom will have any
truck with a boat.
Personally, we like to think
we're fond of any kind of fish,
ing but actually we have to
confess a great liking for the
fly rod. Whether is be of Fiber
glas or hand-crafted bamboo
rare and costly today, a fly rod
is a thing of beauty in the
hands of a skilled caster.
Without laying claim to the
latter or wishing to initiate
the great Joe Brooks, we'd still
rather catch a l0-inch trout
on a fly rod than a 5-pound
bass on bait casting tackle. The
same goes for a rockflsh.
Catching Them at CriSfield
If you have any desire to
catch rock on a fly rod. try
white streamers cast from a
Skiff anchored at night off the
docks at Crisf1eld, Md. They're
being taken right now.

catching fish on home-tiec
flies. And, like most othel

1t is true that he was brilliant,

his vulnerability lay in the
personal weaknesses of those
