now that the first month of the trout season has passed the dedicated anglers who fish lo cal streams will find they have their favorite spots pretty much to themselves there should be some fair catches reported since the competition for the trout has dwindled milton mill pond should be a spot worth trying for speck les the department of lands and forests recently stocked 2500 trout in that pond the pond is large enough to use a boat on but motors are pro hibited the usual equipment is a bow of 40 or 50 pounds pull the arrows are of sturdy fiber glass with rubber feathers a reel is attached to the bow and it contains about 25 yards of 90 pound test braided line which is attached to the arrow head since carp are frequently seen in shallow areas of lakes and often their back is above wa ter they make ideal targets for the bow fisherman shortly after the limited sea son was tried on a section of the st lawrence river a bow fishing derby was organized by the seaway valley archers the derby was first organiz ed in 1964 and has become an annual event the three year total is 2505 carp with a total weight of 17095 the carp range as high as 50 lbs but 3 to seven pounds is average over the years since the der by was organized the women take almost as many as the men and win as many prizes also since the introduction of bow fishing for carp in 1962 the department of lands and forests has opened more wa ters each year due to the pop ularity of the sport the d partment is cooperating with the bow fishermen because a formerly waste fish is now be ing harvested and providing recreation at the same time a s that-fa-fast-beeoming- popular in ontario is bow fish ing for carp in the past few years more and more waters have been opened for this sport and the carp which has been ignored by anglers for years are now being harvested a onearmed righthanded pitcher hugh daly won 74 games and lost 88 between 188287 he pitched a 1 0 no- hitter for cleveland against
