Friedrich and Son FURNITURE — GIFTS Next to State Theatre Nimrods Await Opening Day BY GENE DESCHAMPS With the opening day of trout season not far away, many ard ent sons of Isaac Walton will venture forth to the nearby streams in search of the wary rainbow and cutthroat trout. Fishing this year, as in the few previous years, will be difficult because of gas rationing and the scarcity of fishing tackle. Split bamboo fly rods and reels are practically unobtai n a b 1 e, while 5 tapered fly lines are priced around $7.50 and good grade nine - foot tapered leader costs about $1.25 apiece. Hooks are hard to get and flies cost at least 20 cents apiece. As men tioned before, the biggest draw back is the lack of gasoline and many of the local streams will be crowded on April 14, the opening day for this reason.

In the end luck was on Henry’s side and all turned out well The student body seemed to enjoy the picture greatly.
