@1 Some years ago while driving west of Sudbury, on a business trip, I stopped at the Spanish River and took time out for a few trys with the old casting rod. During those travelling days it was impossible for me to byâ€"pass likely looking fishing spots. On the first cast my pikieâ€" minnow plug splashed into the water near the bridge pier and, after I got the backâ€"lash unâ€" tangled, it wriggled under the surface. I certainly wasn‘t ready for the sudden and vicious strike‘ which jerked the winder handle right out of my fingers. It spun so fast it skinned my knuckles. Once again I had a tangled line, but at the same time a fighting fury was at the end of it. The point of the steel rod was well under water one minute, and then up in the air the next, as I desperately tried to avoid any slack. A black bass shot out of the water and did its best to shake the bait. Regardless of the tangle, I had to play a fish that was just as determined to break the line as I was to land him. After innumerable leaps into the air and dives to the bottom, my prize, a three and a half pound "smallmouth" was well up on shore. Pound for pound, I believe‘ the black bass is every bit as good a scrapper as the speckled | trout. He will strike at almost anything and puts up a fight that you never forget. Almost any type of tackle and lures can be used for bass fishing. One time, on a little lake called Black Lake, in Haliburton, I managed to grab three or four softâ€"shelled cray fish and used them for bait. I remember crossâ€" ing the lake in a flat bottomed punt and dropping anchor beâ€" side a half acre of bullrushes and lily pads. The time was about sixâ€"thirty in the morning and the rest of the cottagers were still sleeping. All I did was lower the cray fish to a depth of about seven feet or so on a heavy casting line. ‘The hit I got really rocked the boat. My rod slapped against the gunwale and if I hadn‘t playâ€" ed out line it might have brokâ€" en. The next few minutes were some of the most exciting of my life as I fought a winning battle with a four and a half pound smallmouth. Another cray fish and another bass was flopped in» to the boat. My hand was really shaking as I pulled the hook from its mouth. The late Frank Hennesey, arâ€" tist and explorer, took me on a most memorable fishing trip inâ€" to the Laurentians where we fished for bass with a fly rod. Sometimes using worms and sometimes a dry fly, we tried our skill at dropping the bait in an opening between huge lily pads. That‘s right where the bass were! Two and three pounders practically bending a fly rod double gave me a thrill I‘ll never forget. Then there‘s the surface plug, bass bug and "plopper". Those are baits which work beautifully on spinning tackle. Late in the evening after the sun has gone down and the water scarcely shows a ripple, drop one of those lures close to shore and let it float there for a minute. Then slowly retrieve it. The "plopper" type make little plopâ€" ping or gurgling sounds. These baits are supposed to act like small creatures swimming on top of the water. Bass are usualâ€" ly in close to shore at night and can‘t resist taking a whack at them. On occasions I have had Friends and neighbours gathâ€" ered at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ken Gander last week for a fareâ€" well party for Mr. & Mrs. Ken Rahn and family. The Rahn‘s are moving to Vancouver at the end of June and the best wishes of the whole neighbourhood. goes with them. Next Sunday will be Flower and Award day at Trethewey Park United Church. All memâ€" bers of the Sunday School will attend the morning worship serâ€" vice at 11 a.m. to take part in this annual event. This marks the end of another term of Sunday School but Junior Congregation will be held all through the sumâ€" mer months so that parents and children may worship and learn together J t L 3 y P AXK c se ?/“, ~ t >#( \“ > 4 4 < ND *# If anyone has a few flowers they can spare from their garâ€" dens. send them to the church on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. so that the church may be an inâ€" door garden for the Flower Serâ€" Things to remember â€" June 12 the Cubs and Seouts Wesiner Roast; June 23 in the morning HARDINGTON & DISTRICT MRS. E. WILSON CH 16638 beautiful strikes when it was so dark I couldn‘t see the end of my rod. But I sure could hear the splash when the bass hit. If you‘re trolling, let. your bait pass as close to weed beds, old logs and shoals as much as possible. The bass usually hide under something _ and _ then strike out at anything that swims by. Because of the wide variety of fishing tehniques that can be used, as well as the pugnaâ€" cious nature of smallmouth and largemouth black bass they are high on the list of Canada‘s most popular game fishes. As Gregory Clark once said, a battle with a black bass "is something even the most callous angler shivers to". WOODLAND TOPICS At this time of year the hik-‘ ing and portaging fisherman is liable to come upon young fawns and bear cubs lying hidden in the bush. To all appearances it seems that these young animals have been deserted by their mothers, but such is not the case. Does hide their fawns and return twice daily to feed them until they are strong enough to follow their mother. It is best to resist that urge to bring these little creatures home for pets. The law says that no person shall keep such animals in capâ€" tivity without the authority of a permit from the Department of Lands and Forests. I am pleased to learn that the Department is not in favour of issuing any further permits. As A. M. Hodgâ€" lson, Chief Conservation Officer for the North Bay District, puts | it: "We feel quite sure that if a service station operator, or tourâ€" ist outfitter cannot make a sub stantial living without having caged animals to attract the pubâ€" lic, he should seek other means of making a livelihood and leave the animals in their natural surâ€" roundings". _ _ _ _ KIPLING ACRES STRAWâ€" BERRY FESTIVAL Sponsored by the KipTing Acâ€" res Women‘s Auxiliary, Sat.

Get well wishes to Mrs. Chris Penny who is holidaying (?) at H um ber Memorial Hospital. Chris is not a resident of our area but has many friends in it. Since tithing became oldâ€"fashâ€" ioned many people are at a loss to know what is required of them in the way of their church offerâ€" ings, Perhaps the way to solve this is to. compare your weekly offering to the amount allowed in the budget for entertainment, tobacco, alcohol and other pleaâ€" sures which are now looked upon as necessities. If Junior has 50c for Saturday‘s matinee and 10¢ for Sunday School perhaps he is learning a false set of values. Rexdale Rambling Happy Birtbday! to Patricia Green,.
