Emerald Sports Writer
Someday when you’re engaged
in a bull session with a group
of piscatorial pursuants (fisher
men*, quietly mumble, “you
should have seen the five pound
Largemouth that Ted caught in
the slough the other day.”
If someone starts to tremble
and becomes glassy-eyed as he
asks how, when anil when*,
you’ll know that you’ve met a
dieil-ln-the-wool bass fisherman.
It's easy for the Black Bass to
effect students in the same man
ner, but in a state with such
wonderful trout and salmon -ang
ling. one might wonder why any
one would go bass fishing.
Try It Yourself
The best way to discover why
people become Largemouth luna
tics is to go fish for bass. Pic
ture yourself driving down a dirt
road to our boat on the Willam
ette at dawn. On campus the
sun is warming the lawns, but
down here, where we’re sur
rounded by trees, it’s dark and
cool.
Since you’re our guest, we
man the oars and shove off
into the fog-shrouded water.
As the shoreline melts away,
you rig your tackle. Your five
and one-half foot baitcasting
rod, level wind reel, and nine
pound test nylon line look like
the ticket for bass. You’ll find
that the light line increases
distance and casting ease.
We slip through a tangle of
driftwood and find ourselves in
a calm pool studded with lily
pad9 and weeds. It looks like
magazine covers you have seen,
and is rather pretty even if you
don’t like bass fishing.
A Jitterbug Should Work
Remembering that bass like
surface plugs early or late in the
day, you snap on a Jitterbug.
Gazing around, you spot a tree
stump half submerged in the cof
fee-colored water. That looks like
a bass spot even though you've
never seen one.
Before you realize it, your
ping is sailing out in a low
arch and then hits the water
next to the stump with a quiet
splash. The pre-season practice
on the lawn really pays off.
With your heart in your throat,
you wait a half minute or so,
then start the retreive. Slowly
the plug gurgles toward you.
Explosion—Your Bass!
The next few minutes are hazy
—the water suddenly erupts, and
your plug disappears. Then
there’s a bronze-backed jet fly
ing through the air, his gills are
flaring and your plug rattles in
his huge mouth.
You start to shout, but then
remember, “control yourself,
you don’t like bass fishing."
You keep a tight line, and five
minutes, ten shouts and three
leaps later, bring the fish to net.
He looks five pounds, rather than
the three that he is.
Theij you remember that we’re
here with you. With glassy eyes,
you turn, grin weakly and say,
“why would anyone go bass fish
ing? But what a fish!’’

The weather turned mild In
Oregon, following a night of
howling wind and driving rain
Pow'er company repair crews
were busy through the area from
Salem north to the Columbia
river as the wind sent branches;
flying from trees to knock down
lines.
Most of the trouble was along
the coast, where strong winds
from the ocean bowled over trees.
A big spnice took out lines nears
the Clatsop airport and power
