Rehab centre to host The Bowmanville Rehab Centre, located In Lakertdge Health Bowmanville, will be hosting a tournament at Newcastle Golf Course to raise money for a worthy cause, and maybe lower some handicaps at the same time. The Charity Golf Event is schedule for Friday, June 9, with the proceeds going to the Arthritis Society of Canada for research funding.

This week Friday night my friend Dan Reed and I made a trip to the twin tunnels on Graham Creek in Newcastle. We were looking for steel- head (rainbow Trout) that might have got stuck above the beaver dams. We didn't find any fish, but we did find about ten golf balls that had floated downstream from the golf course. - We knew there would be some small creek chub and catfish down by the railway bridge. We walked all the way back down to .the bridge with our po'ckets full of golf balls. I was using some row that I had tied in a yellow bag. I had a couple of bites, but no fish. Dan was catching fish after, fish so I switched to using a worm. I caught a couple couple of small catfish and chub, and Dan caught a huge catfish as well as some small ones. All fish were released back into the water. I havç come to the conclusion that most of the steelhead have gone back to the lake because of-all the rain in the past week. We must all help to stop the invasion of the fishhook water flea, spiny water flea, round goby and tubenose goby. The fishhook water flea is a member of the crustacean (crayfish, shrimp, etc.). It was found in Lake Ontario in August 1998. The actual size of . this creature is one centimetre. centimetre. The fishhook water 1 flea has been found in Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan and many inland lakes in New York State. It eats zooplankton, zooplankton, which is a main food source for juvenile fish. The spiny, water flea is a relative to the fishhook water flea. This flea is one to one and a half centimetres long and also eats zooplankton. Fish from ten centimetres and larger will alternate to feed on the spiny water flea. Smaller fish -- smaller than ten centimetres are unable to eat the flea because the barbs on the tail of the flea will get stuck in the throat, and the fish will have to cough it back out. The distribution distribution of the spiny water fleas include all the great lakes and many inland lakes. This crustacean crustacean was first found in Lake Ontario in 1982 and was found in all the great lakes by 1987. . The Rudd .'is a member of the minnow family and is found in many parts of North America. The Rudd can grow up to fourteen inches and has a deep body. Adult Rudd feed on insects on the surface and young feed on algae and invertebrates. In 1 #90 the Rudd was found in the St. Lawrence River and by 1997 they were discovered in wester wester Lake Ontario and eastern Lake Erie. The Rudd can breed with the golden shinner causing risk to this very important bait fish. Information on the round goby and tubenose goby will be found in the next issue of Tim's Fishin' Lines.
