Newspaper Page Text3 fBy Don Harger i r . f I r r u t f 1 Harold Elbert of Route S, Box MS. Salem, and the bl bass no took from Ilnmbug lake. --'' ' - ' Who lays the black bass don't grow big In the Willamette valley? Harold -Elbert, Route 8, Box 003, Salem, one of the area' most ardent bass anglers thinks otherwise. Plug caster Elbert spends a lot of bis evenings tossing plugs at the wily bass and uses a light spinning ., tn tr.c thm with. One of his favorite spots Is Humbug lake . TnHwwndpnre where the bass srow big and plentiful. The 6 lb. scrapper pictured above is one of Elbert's largest bass, nut ne says hr am niontv nf them in the area that will top the 8 lb. mark. Ti So bass anglers who may not think much of this area had better changetheir tunes (and their lures) and go out and give the Willam ette river area a,going over. j - According to a goodly number of anglers who favor tho San- tlam river for their piscatorial efforts, they swear that this season Is by far the best they have seen for years. Insect life seems quite abundant and the fish are fat and In excellent condition. Too, the fish are running larger than in seasons gone by. There have been numerous rainbow treat bittinr Je 14 to II Inch mark and mKt of them have fallen to a dry fly. Just what the reason is for this phenomenal comeback that is almost overnight, no one can rightfully say. It may be because of the lack of a secies of flash floods last winter that enabled the insect life to stay put and not be swept jiwayrexcept In certain stretches. Fithing Good Between Detroit and Stayton From Detroit all the way down to Stayton the fUhlnc has been very food during- the past few weeks. The evening- fly fishing seems to be the best with that last couple of hours beforerdark producing most of the larger fish. Small gray hackle flies with palmered bodies are one' of the best with a blue dun and small caddis buck doing their share. There are those who swear by the old Royal Coachman dry fly and It would seem that size wort than pattern fa the deciding factor. v 1 1 ; j From Stayton on down to the mouth of the Santiam above Buena Vista; the rainbow sort of disappear and the cutthroat take over. In the lower river trolling and spinning seems to be the best method to lure the cuthtroat into the creel. Some mighty fine catches have been made in the lower river and it is pleasing to note the increased interest being shown in the Santiam as a trout stream. It can stand a lot of fishine pressure if. the old river is really making a comeback. Perhaps the new dam at Niagara will permanently check the gash floods and make the Santiam one of the best trout streams in the state. Without any doubt it is one of the most scenic of Oregon's rivers and It Is a lot wilder and faster than a lot of folks would think. It is no easy stream to navigate in a boat unless one knows what he is doing. Even then the going can get mighty rough at times. Comeback of Santiam Causing Excitement Whether or not the Santiam is making a permanent comeback, it Is wonderful to learn that at least for this season the fishing -, is something to cause a lot of excitement In certain angling cir- Nice to see that there will be an' extended deer season for those poor souls, who do not get their deer during tho regular season. Now we can go out for the regular season and if we fail to connect before the deadline we don't have to cry about it. Some one Is right handy to pat ms on the bach and- say we're certainly sorry you had no luck Joe, just go right back on out there for the next two days and shoot anything that moves. Never mind being a sportsman and looking for - Bnwa siba m lArTM V T AM WIAtlt IT nAllin AlUHUr VlUb 1 BU1C k aacaa iVUi itJ sauiA uicu AUVTf v v w aa Perhaps If enough anglers get together we can Inveigle tho Game eommish to extend next winter's steelhead seasor a few extra days Just In case some of its didn't get our s tee lies during the regular winter season. Too, maybe the U.S. Fish A Wildlife Ocrvicc can cvow up wiib kw iufi f uw luunHmw duck hunters who fail to shoot their limit of birds. -As a matter of fact, why have any season at all? Why not ring the bell and declare all seasons open on everything. It will hurry tho end of an wildlife and then we won't have any to worry about. ! What a Lake Thi$ One Must Be .
