THURSDAY, MAY 29th, 1952 THE HAILEYBURIAN "OUT FISHING" The quest of the pickerel or wall-eyed pike opened May 15th in Ontario. The succulent pick- erel--one of the "best eating" fish in Ontario waters--is regarded as_one of the easiest fish to catch and also one of the most prolific. - Despite the fact that it has been heavily fished for half a century, its numbers never seem to dimin- ish. Although netted in the Great lakes by commercial fishermen, the pickerel is classed as a game fish for anglers. The bag limit is six per day and the minimum length is 13 inches. ; ? _ The fish is widely distributed in Ontario. Jt is found in hundreds of inland lakes connected by river with the Great Lakes. It-spawns in the spring and con- centrates in thousands in the riv- ers during this period. The fav- orite baits include minnows, spoons and plugs, with some streamer flies. The pickerel is frequently found at the foot of falls and in rapid waters, but Lake Nipissing, at North Bay, produces ~ thousands of the fish which are caught in quiet waters at this _ time of the year. The "Govern- ment dock" within a couple of blocks of North Bay' main street, will be lined with anglers of both sexes and all ages after May 15. The pickerel is a nocturnal feeder and nature has equipped it with large "googly" eyes from which its name of wall-eye was derived. While the average fish in Ontario runs around~ two pounds, the record is a 22% pound specimen caught at Fort Erie, On- tario, in 1943: . ine pickerel is easily prepared for cooking, with most guides tending towards the skin-and- fillet method, Lhe pickerel is placed on a flat surface, such as ~the blade of a canoe paddle and a sharp knife is used to cut through the skin around the head and down the back and belly. By grasping the skin with a pair ot pliers and pulling quickly, it is easily removed, complete with ~ scales. Cuts along the backbone, allowing the knife to slide over the "ribs", quickly ~produce th: fillets, Gourmets claim there is no finer ~ fish than pickerel fillets rolled in flour or cornmeal and dropped in- .to hot~ fat until browned crisp. But rangers of the Lands ana Forests department insist that you make sure your cooking fire is thoroughly extinguished when you've ended your pickerel lunch. A new lure for catching fish in weed beds and tily ponds and a "wiggling and wobbling" motion said to attract game fish. It fea- tures a wire spring on the under- side for easy retrieving when in contact with weeds. Made of lightweight white Tenite, with 'realistic coloring, makers claim it is corrosion resistant and excep- tionally durable. Algonquin Chief Visits North Bay Lt.-Col. G. L. Cassidy, DSO, officer commanding Algonquin Regiment, visited North Bay last week in connection with final preparations for "Exercise Moon- set" at the end of May. The Haileybury high school principal and wartime Algonquin officer inspected personnel of "B" Company of the regiment at Fort Chippewa Barracks.
