Steelheaders have their own toys called drift Sports Editor I his seems to lx.* a good summer for cat ching big fish Last week a 32-pound trout found its way to the dinner table and earlier this month, the Oregon record for bluegill was broken with a two-pounder. A number of other anglers have reported large steelhead in local rivers and a few big Chinooks mingling with the eight-pounders at the coast. So why can’t I catch anything? Fishing has become a sport, or pastime, which is becoming increasingly complex. At one tune, you could simply lean against a soft rock, crack open a six-pack and take a snooze while the fish fought over which of them would get to jump your bait. 1 hat s kid stuff now. First of all, you’ve got to have a boat. A 10-foot rowboat won’t do, not anymore, it’s got to be something akin to a cabin cruiser to accommodate deck par The State Midget Tourna ment w ill be held at Sandy High School this weekend, July 31 to Aug 2 Games w ill begin at 4 p in Friday and run all day Saturday and Sunday A small admission fee w ill I h * charged Tennis tournament scheduled The newly formed Red L io n R a cq u e t C lu b in Welches w ill hold th<* first in a series of round robin mixed doubles tennis tournaments this Sunday.

Finding the little buggers doesn’t mean they’ll bite, though, not even with all the fancy rigging and lures Sometimes it takes an electronic instrument which sends vibrations through the water to attract the fish. All these new inventions have made a farce out of fishing. It ’s like reading a computer to catch a fish anymore So why can’t I catch one? Perhaps it’s because I still prefer the old methods. To me. fishing is lying on the hank or in an old. creaky rowboat, and dropping a line in the water. A couple of sandwiches and a cooler full of beer. Maybe a nap Then when the fish don’t bite, it’s no big deal It s still been an enjoyable time and you won’t have to drive home cursing the thousands ot dollars of wasted equipment. boats. At one time, 90 percent of steelhead fishermen utilized the bank Now it’s the other way around. There are times w hen you can walk across the Sandy river on the boats without getting your feet wet. Drift boats don’t always look like much, but if a few of the price tags were left on, the steelhead would be obligated to jump into the boats on their own. DI course, lake fishing isn’t a m atter of dropping anchor and waiting for the fish to bite I hat takes no talent Instead, you’ve got to deep troll, putting on about six feet of flashing metal to make sure the fish can see the lure. It takes at least 10-pound test to keep your line from snapping just from the weight of the bait. All the fancy flashing doesn’t always work, though; perhaps the fish are near-sighted. That means it’s time to break out the fish finder. The nouveau riche of the fishing US SCHWAB R adial Tires A re Your Best Tire In ve stm e n t Let Us Show You Why.
