Could be that thé fly-fisherman has surounded his sport with an atmosphere of mystery and hocus- Docus that confuses the tyro. Cer- tainly it sounds far more compli cated than it is. At any rate the average angler shows a definite reticence when it comes to fly- casting. Maybe there's a subcon- scious idea that it's a, difficult feat to cast a fly weighing little. or nothing as compared with heavy plug which may be flung for long distances. Whatever it is, there are many people who are missing what we think Is the most satisfying sport there Is. Perhaps a little information along these lines might be inter- esting. You know the pros and cons of bait and fly casting. First of all, any form of casting may be described under simple head- ings. You cast in order to enlarge. the area in which you wish to operate. And one of the most im- portant objects: Is to be able to place the lure in front of a fish and at the same time to keep the angler out of the fish's sight. From our own experience, it's pretty tough to get a fish to strike if the angler's actions are in full view of the creature! So get out of his sight, and CAST! One of the first things to re- member is that the object is not to cast the fly as far away from the angler as possible. The ob- Ject is to place the lure where the fish will see it, and to activate it so that it will 160k tempting. A lot of people want to know - : 1 7] 1 ] 1 | ] 1 SPRING IS HERE...

In baitcasting, the weight of the lure carries the line to the \yuar- ry. This line is light, usually be- tween 10 and 20 pounds test. Anything over this is too heavy for practical .purposes. The of Dosite is the case with the fly- line. There the weight of the line carries the lure. As a result, it's far easier to place a fly where you want it than it is with a plug. Also you don't get the terrible backlashes in fly-casting, due to the additional control you have over the line through the long, flexible rod. And believe us, once you've mastered the fundamentals, it's easy! There's a difference too in the two styles of reel. The balt-cast- Ing reel spins to let out the line, and is used again In the retrieve, In fly-casting, the reel merely stores extra line. It's seldom used in making the retrieve, as this is usually done with the free hand. There's another item, too, which seems to have deterred a great might become fly-casters. Cost. Surprisingly enough, fly tackle is usually the lesser of the two when it comes to expense. This is mainly because of the great dif- ference between the cost of plugs and that of flies. This does not even include the fact that many people tie their own flies, and that far fewer lures are lost in fly-casting than in bait-casting. The initial cost of a fly-rod and fly-lile may be a little more, but with a little care the life of both is usually much longer. Have we made a sale? Hope so, because there's no more reward- ing sport than fly-casting. Try it some time. PORT HORTY | Bud Corbett's Buzzers last Thursday night became the town's first commercial league champ- fons as they breezed to a 52 win over Trafalgar Motors in a sud- den death playoff for the tilt. Buzzers' third line of Al Bastead, Al Hall and Ted Williamson pro- vided the scoring punch that ov- erfowered the Studies, potting a goal each, while other markers came from the sticks of Jim Co- wan and Squirt - Brown. Playing coach Bill Capel netted one for the losers, with burly Ron Bod- den getting the other. It was a very fair tilt from the spectator viewpoint, and successfully wound up an abbreviated season that clearly indicated commercial hock- many people 'who otherwise ey is here to stay. While Oakville basketballing Grads faced a nine point deficit as they motored back from Cen- tralia in the early hours of Sun- day morning, they nevertheless had every reason to be happy oy- er their fine showing against last year's champion R.C.AF. squad. Grads actually had an edge in the ball handling and playmaking departments, it being the marks- manship of Titmar and Boone from well out on the floor that led to their downfall. In the re- turn contest, strange baskets may well take the fine edge off the shooting of these Fliers, giving the locals still a very good chance of copping their first provincial {lverware, District ball fans who are an- xlous to catch a glimpse of the new edition of Joe Zeigler's Toron- to Maple Leafs may not yet real- ize, due to the weather, that open- ing day is only three short weeks away.

Another election was held at last week's meeting of the Oak- ville Sea Ranger Crew, and, af- ter a tied vote and an extremely close count, Jean McNaughton and Pat Brett were chosen as Tem- porary Leading Hands, for a térm of three months, beating Rose- mary "Hegan by only one vote. Leading Hands are responsible for assisting Petty Officers in their duties, and are expected to carry on their work should the Petty Officers 1 "adrift" for any reason. During thelr period of training, Rangers endeavour to fit them- selves to give efficient service, and, whenever possible, to un- dertake regular duties in the community, as well .as being ready to be called on for service in an emergency. In addition to this, the various Sea Ranger Tests with a nautical flavour al- so have to be completed, so it will be seen that there is a great deal to be fitted into Sea Ranger programmes. Therefore mem- bers are expected to attend the weekly musters regularly, or it will not be possible for them to derive the benefit of the full training. But any prospective recruits who have after school ties in the way of regular evening work need not be afraid to come to as many musters as they can man- age. There will always be some- thing interesting happening, and they can take part in the week- end swimming and boating actiy- ities that will take place in the near future. Certainly it may take such a recruit a little longer to complete the various tests, but they are not intended to be rush- ed through anyway. So if any of you who do have regular after school or office hours positions to hold down are interested in Sea Rangers, won't you get in touch with some member of our Crew? We were pleased to welcome two new members last week, Hs- telle. Guertin and Florence Yarn- ell. Hope they enjoyed the mus- er. The following Sea Rangers are holding positions in the Crew at the present time: Pat Brett, Sig- nalman; Judy Bayly, Ship's Writ- er; Murlel Boxalr, Quartermas- ter; Jean McNaughton, Paymas- ter; and Veronica Farynuik, Time- keeper. More about these positions and their duties later. verbial hen's bicusplds, so if you plan to go, you had better get in touch, right promptly, with Bud Corbett's young Mr. Kenneth Brown. Ken can still fix you up with ducats, if you don't dally too long. Idle for the past week in T.H.L. King Clancy series play, Oak- ville juveniles meet Toronto Nag- els at Woodbridge Friday night.
