12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, Ape 27, 1962 Your Rod And Reel Ready For Saturday? 'By THE CANADIAN PRESS For a host of Ontario outdoors- men, the first attack of spring fever will strike on the dot of midnight Friday night. It's the opening of the trout season, the first big binge of the fisherman's year. Lakes and streams will be flailed to @ froth in an invasion rivalled only by the opening of the pick- erel season May 12. Prospects are for low and clear water in the south, which is fine for the fisherman who knows his business but tough on the duffer. In the north, there would be ice on the lakes. .A gradual spring run-off has left southern streams clean with water levels ranging from aver- age to below-average, a Cana- dian Press survey shows. Clear water means spooky eg mes plac- ing a premium on light tackle and angling skill. ICE LINGERS Northern streams were run- ning clear but ice remained on many lakes beyond the latitudes|from of North Bay, including Algon-| ponds quin Park. It's a toss-up for opening day in this region. High winds and a warm rain could clean the ice out in a hurry. In the event that it doesn't, consérvation officers were unanimous in their warn- ing: Don't try to walk on it. Chances are that, as usual, the biggest opening-day fish will be rainbows and some brown trout which are just completing spring spawning in the tributary rivers of Lakes Huron, Erie and Ontario. on the a are running ularly, low, however, north shore of Lake Some experts feel this has re- stricted the movement of spawning rainbows in such hot parol as the Ganaraska River and Wilmott's Creek to the ex- tent that fishing will be below par. BRANT OPTIMISTIC Optimism was the keynote in Brant county, where conserva- tion officer Carl Liddle of Paris and dent Clare Savage of the Brant Rod and Gun Club ected good conditions. Aside smaller streams and Big Creek, which flows into Lake Erie, has produced some giant rainbows in spring and fall. officer Harry Gingerich of of Preston feels an- glers in his area would do best to head for the rivers of Geor- gian Bay Lake Huron|° where browns and rainbows are the big attraction. The Not- tawasaga, Sydenham, Sauble, Saugeen, Big Head and Beaver Rivers and Bothwell Creek are trict. province, the signs are good in 'Ithe Lakes Simcoe and Couch- iching districts and Peterbor- ough. Ice is out and stream banks are firm and dry for easy travelling. The season extends to Sept. 15 lexcept for some designated Great Lakes tributaries where rainbows are open until Nov. 30 to give anglers a crack at the autumn upstream run. Creel limits for rainbows and browns are five fish a day. For speckled. trout it's one plus 14 weighing not more than 10 pounds except in Elgin, Middle- sex and Norfolk counties, where it's one plus nine not. weighing more than five pounds. Anglers Pay To Fish Private Stretches HALIFAX (CP) -- To the American sportsman who paid several thousand dollars for ex- elusive rights to fish a stretch of a New Brunswick river for the next 10 years, the return will never match the invest- ment, Basing it on the river's best return in the last four years-- 95 salmon per rod-day -- his salmon will cost him about $30 apiece. If the 1960 rod - day figure of .37 salmon for the same river were taken, the silver fish could cost him close to $75 each. All this assumes that he fishes practically every day of the season. account travelling expenses, lodging, licences, entertainment and equipment. Add these together, plus the fact he's likely to fish at most about four weeks, and the whole thing could come to about $500 per fish. He's a true angler at any cost. BRING HIGH PRICES Angling leases on choice stretches of New Brunswick's salmon and trout waters were sold at auction recently. Although the sales mean the provincial treasury will reel in $150,525 a year for 10 years, the transaction is cutting into the domain of the casual res- fdent and non-resident fisher- man. For a section of the Sevogle River in the northeastern part of the province, the government swallowed the lure of $7,000 offered by a St. Louis man. The bid was almost six times the upset price of $1,200, lowest sum for which the jease would be sold. For an 18-mile stretch of the Kedgwick River in central New Brunswick, where the upset price was $12,000, a New Yorker forked over $30,000 for exclusive rights. General season for salmon in New Brunswick extends for varying periods, by areas, from May 15 to Oct. 31. Even with some of the more abundant pools under lease there are plenty of good open spots to It doesn't take into/fish 1961 POOR YEAR Even in the poor season last year, for example, the Mira- michi River yielded 14,055 sal- mon to sportsmen. It had a recorded catch of 45,067 in 1958 and had been 22,000 or better every year since 1949. Nova Scotia doesn't lease water rights. Although the total yield' from all rivers in the province normally is lower than that of New Brunswick's Mira- michi system, there is a variety of streams if Nova Scotia to please ardent anglers. The Medway River gave up more salmon than other Nova Scotia waters last year with a yield of 819. The LaHave gave up 646, St. Mary's 451, West River 310, Moser 250 and Mar- garee 147, The Nova Scotia season opens around April 1 on _ western rivers, and May 15 and June 15 on streams flowing into the Bay of Fundy, Northumberland Strait and the Gulf of St. Law- cA SPORTS OUTDOORS By Jack Sords ex SOR cep anise mre Bali Medic1 Ne A TO QUEBEC (CP) Robert Martineau, general manager of Quebec Aces of the American Hockey League, said Thursday night Quebec Citadels of the Provincial Junior League have received an offer to tour Eu- rope next winter.

One of the main steps will be the establishment of pilot pro- jects in the Prairie provinces to work out the best methods of preserving and managing waterfowl breeding areas. Two- thirds of the continent's ducks produced in the potholes or -- of the Prairies. Drought tions and drainage of ag- ricultural lands have reduced the nesting sites. A committee of experts of the Canadian and American gov- ernmemts, which has dwindling game bird population, recommended the many- pronged program. WILL STUDY METHODS The Canadian Wildlife Ser- vice, working with the federal agriculture department and the provinces, will study the best methods of presering the breeding grounds in the pilot schemes. Under the plan proposed by the committee the two federal governments would purchase and manage the Prairie pot- holes or enter into long-term agreements with the farmers on ig. A nation-wide harvest survey will also be launched to deter- mine whether too many ducks ved bagged by hunters. sur- help in setting future bin and bag limits for the game birds. The two-country committee in its report released last month said the continental stocks of redhead, canvasback and ruddy Gucks are very low and that the black duck is being hunted too heavily. The harvest of Canada geese also required close attention and the white- fronted goose was being hunted at too great a rate.
