Chantry Chinook Classic Getting out of it what you put in Turnstile Like most people my with fishing nave been confined to very inland streams rivers or ponds And anytime I relumed from a days fishing with a couple of reasonably sued speckled trout 1 was more led But I recently found out there a entirely different world of falling to found on the Lakes The CFPS Chantry Chinook Clonic the largest fishing derby of the Fishing Series gets under way Aug 7 and continues until Aug As a prelude In he mam event writers and broadcasters were in vited to Media Day a few weeks to find out what Chantry Classic entailed pardon The shores of Lake Huron have long been known for being popular with tourists particularly for their sandy beaches Bui for fourth year will Like a back scat the anglers during lie month of August The main centers of activity for the Classic will undoubtedly bo of the shores of the communities of Southampton Port Elgin and Kin cardine But the boundaries for eli-i- fishing extend halfway up ne Bruce Peninsula and west into Lake far as the International Border Taking part In the Media Day I immediatelj realized there was con siderably more Great Lakes fishing than simply tossing your line in he water and hoping for best Fishing has become extremely technical in terms of both equip ment and the means of determining where the fish are Today charier fishing boats have to be equipped with the latest in equipment if Ihey expect their The day the media event was held in terms of weather Un fortunately the unrest of previous days left the fish finicky The best our fourman boat could was land a pink salmon weighing In at just under three pounds lor just over two pounds depending on who you talk tot But other boats were a little more fortunate Of half dozen or so fish caught a couple in the neighborhood of is pounds The may seem like low yield of catches considering there about IS charter boats on the laki but the fish were there They could be seen on the graph without any problem whatsoever The day was an extremely en joyable one thanks largely to the ef forts of Lake Huron Fishing Cub and of CFPS Lnbutts and the Walker House of Southampton which hosted dryland activities Last years derby drew over entries and that number is expected to increase for this years version of the event The economic impact of the Classic can not be underestimated After all tourist revenue generated by the derby in 1966 was estimated at million Prizes this year total over including a boat and Johnson outboard as well an various fishing paraphernalia for the largest salmon caught Twenty tagged fish are also waiting to be caught and are worth 000 landed during the derby Prizes are also awarded on weekly anddaily bases But the form of the wi tlte Lake Huron Fishing Club to sure a brighter angling future Of the entry fee paid by I rants 4 goes towards prii advertising and derby while the other goes directly into conservation Among list of projects under taken are the release of over loo DUO Chinook salmon from the hatchery with plans for expansion of facilities so that as many a9 can be raised annually he River allowing migratory fish to ac cess the upper portion of the water way move readily club is into a year commit ment to rehabilitate Little Sauble River through fencing and tree planting the club is very active In lobbying for the ban or gill nets in Ontario and the stocking of Lake Huron with a fair share of salmon and trout The CFPS Chantry Chinook Classic produced a net profit of in 1986 and indications are the event will be even more sue- this year Its a good way for people to con tribute to the well being and con tinued growth of sport fishing on the Lakes And even if you dont win the big prize its nice to know that you can take the fish you caught home and enjoy a feast of fresh salmon or trout without worrying about mer cury levels or other contaminants J Augusts Activity centre keeps rolling August raprec raprec rap Alcott
