Derbies - to highlight ice-fishing season By Mike Lamb With winter already making its presence known in McHenry County and with the lakes starting to freeze, its time for area fishermen to think about getting their ice-fishing gear ready. Plans for one of the major kick-offs of the ice-fishing season are all set. The 10th annual McCullom Lake Ice Fishing Derby is all set for Jan. 21. The derby has become popular with area ice-fishing enthusiasts in recent years. Last year 28 northern pike's were caught at the derby. The McCullom Lake Ice Fishing Derby is an annual event used to raise money for lake management projects by the McCullom Lake Conservation Club such as dredging, weed cutting and stocking of the lake. According to area fish biologist Harvey Brown, ice- fishermen can expect to catch northern pikes, bass, perch, blue gill, crappies and bullhead on McCullom Lake. Brown has stocked McCullom Lake with Northerns the past couple of years. In 1979, 50,000 fry were stocked into the lake and in 1982, 500 bass were added. Because of stocking efforts, Brown expects a good ice-fishing season. "Since the last winter kill, „ this should be the best year. Each year is getting better and better," Brown said. OUTDOORS Harvey May, president of the McCullom Lake Con­ servation Club, agrees with Brown. Although, May feds the lake's peak is still a few years away. May expects another good year for northerns. May said fishermen can expect to catch northern's up to 11 pounds, bass pushing five pounds and perch exceeding 12 inches. Besides McCullom Lake there are other lakes in the area. However, some of them go unnoticed by area fishermen. One of those is Defiance Lake at Moraine Hills State Park. Brown says Defiance should be "especially good" this winter. Brown said fishermen can catch bhie gill up to seven inches and crappie eight-to-nine inches. "It's not heavily fished as it could be," admitted Brown. Park rangers, according, to Brown, placed brush piles in the lake to attract the fish. "The brush piles at­ tract the smaller fish for cover, and the little fish attract the bigger fish," said Brown. - Rush Creek is another small lake with little fishing activity in the past, ac­ cording to Ken Fiske of the McHenry County Con­ servation District. It's a three acre lake south east of Harvard. Fiske, however, said no permanent shelters or cars are allowed on the lake. Fiske said mostly bass and blue gill are caught. Another is Hollow West Lake, located on route 14 between Cary and Crystal Lake. The same rules apply on this lake, according to Fiske. Wonder Lake, although a well known lake in the area, Brown doesn't expect a real good ice-fishing season on it. Mostly because of the shallowness of the lake and heavy boating activity during the summer. Crystal Lake is another ice-fishing spot. The con­ servation club on Crystal Lake also holds an ice- fishing derby. For those ice-fishermen who can't satisfy their fishing ambitions in this area, the Chain-O-Lake area is a more popular ice-fishing area. Joe Firencka of the Lake County Illinois Conservation District, said, "this should be a relatively good winter for pan fish and pumpkin Seed perch. The Walleye are coming on more and more each year." TTk best lakes in the chain for ice fishing, according to_ Firencka, are the northern lakes of Channel, Catherine and Marie. "These are usually the hot spots and the most productive." Firencka also said Pistakee Lake, along with Mineola Bay on Fox Lake are ponteotial hot spoU. "For the last five years, ice-fishing has improved every year," Firencka said. "One of things attributed to the improvement is the increased number of Walleye caught. That's attributed to the stocking effort since 1975. Also the water improvement has helped." __ Firencka has some safety hints for ice-fishermen; Fishing should be done between zero and 30 degrees. Also, the ice should be at least four inches thick to support a crowd of people. May, an ice-fishing^ en­ thusiast himself, also has some hints for the inex­ perienced ice-fishermen. For tip-up fishing, May suggests suckers or golden roaches (sucker minnow) as bait. For pan fishing, baits such as magets, wax worms and minnows could be used. A light line and light pole is used. "Dead bait is usually used on tip-ups," said May. "Fish like bait that just sits there and not to active." May also said fishing is a lot better when its warmer and not too cold. "I have found wind direction also makes a difference," he added. "Fishing right before a storm is the best fishing. It seems a west wind is the best fishing, but not always true." "Early morning ana iaie evening is also the best fishing. It's just like other fishing. It depends on the weather." eThe Dickens *• State wrestling qualifier returns for Marian By Sam Natrop Shaw-Free Press Service W O O D S T O C K Wrestling, which along with swimming ranks near toe top of the high school athletic scene in degree of individualism, has a certain unique quality. y U Either you work yourself hard.enough tp t>reak ,tbe starting lineup, or someone will beat you in practice and you don't start. Unlike basketball where you could be the second-best guard on the team and still start, wrestling offers a one-man- per-weight-class idea that permits only the best of a limited group to be in the starting lineup. And Marian Central Coach Mike Garvey said he hopes that line of thought permeates his team. Garvey lost nine wrestlers out of the ftarttng linebp from last year and returns with only three seniors for the 1989-84 season. Those three, however, were sec­ tional qualifiers, one was a state qualifier and Garvey looks for many points out of all of them. Mark Wohnrade, who last year became the first Marian Central wrestler to ever advance to the state meet, ^returns for the Hurricanes to form a small, but solid group of vnton. ' ~Woh6rkde wrestled in the 98-pound class last year and sported a 28-4 record. He has moved up one division - to 105 - this year. i' - m OPEN CHRISTMAS DAY TIL 2 PM 2314W.

This year, the goals are higher." Garvey said, barring anything unforseen, he ,a things Wohnrade can make year. "During the football playoffs (where Garvey was the Marian \^rsity assistant) Mark ranSthe show," Garvey added. "He took over practices and ran them. We would have never beaten Hebron had Mark not been running the prac­ tices." Through four matches, the Hurricanes have a 3-1 record including wins over Alden-Hebron (42-24), Marengo (42-24), Freeport Aquin (48-18) and a loss to Elgin St. Edward (40-20). Marian finished fourth out of eight teams in the recent Richmond Tournament. Wohnrade was named the outstanding wrestler of the tourney as he won the 105.
