Outdoor Tips

This is the era of PLASTIC.
Everything comes in a plastic
bag or a plastic container of
some kind that you have to throw
away. Well, just hold on a min
ute and put that leftover plastic
to work. Old-fashioned anglers
line their creels with fern or
leaves. but the angler of the Six
ties will find a creel lined with
plastic much easier to clean free
of fishy odors.
Have you ever found yourself
strung up after days fishing
as your stringer full of fish
breaks and slowly sinks or floats
away never to be seen again.
This fishermans tragedy can be
overcome by adding a float to
the stringer. Should it break loose
or slip from your grasp. there S
no problem in recovering it.

Hunting season is just around
