1 " By DON - r During the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1952, angling in , the UT S. reached a new all-time high with: a record sale of 17, : 127.896 angling licenses. This record figure represents an in- fa m a lures, boots, about the country. . j DON HAKGEK It seems with figares such as the above, there still remain groups in this country who feel that our fish and wildlife resources should take second place to more (?) important issues. . . It is also interesting to note Fishing Institute that on non-resident licenses,' our neighboring state of Washington sold 20,583 as against 2,346 sold in Oregon. Could this ten-to-one ratio be on account of Weather Man Not Kind to ' The weatherman loused the week-end after having got off to fishing days. Just as the water was getting right and th anglers were wearing a smile again, the downpour took up where It left off and put the rivers but of condition again. ; At thia writing the skies are again clear 'and things are once more looking up for the steelheader who is finding time running at on this fishing calendar. Less than a month to go now on the eoastal streams and the fish, to date, have had things just about their own way since the start of the winter season. The Nehalem river, noted this if not the quantity, recently gave up another lisn over tne twemy pound mark. This latest "big one? weighed in at 24 pounds, 3 ounces. At last Monday evening's meeting of the Salem Spin Fishing Club it was announced that the South Salem Chamber of Commerce has offered the Spin Club a portion of a recently acquired site on Battle Creek for a possible tournament casting and wading pooL This will mean much to Salem and the surrounding area once it has reached completion. There will be great opportunity to instruct the young followers of Ike Walton in the art of fly, plug and spin casting. Keith Henderson and Jan Janicek, Salem Spin Clubbers, were awarded prises for outstanding catches made during the 1952 season. Henderson was awarded a complete Airex spinning outfit while Janicek walked off with an attractive trophy cup. (See photo this page.) Denmark Angler Want Some Red Yarn f From the mail bag comes a letter from an angling gent in far off Denmark. He wants to know (of all things) Where he may obtain come of the fluorescent red yarn to try out in his home waters. The angler in Denmark states that he fishes for sea-trout (salmo trutta) and that he can see no reason why the yarn should not work as well on them as on steelhead. xne sea-trout oi wmcn i wm v"" trutta) could be no other than a sea-run brown trout. We may be surprised to know that brown trout go to sea but the gent evidently knows whereof ho speaks and it should settle the debate to this area as te whether or not brown trout ? will become sea-run if given the opportunity. Evidently they like the salt in Denmark, anyway.

Manager Bill Brenner - reported Thursday. Tne former Spokane players are Ken Richardson, who played at third base for the Indians in 1949 and '51 and part of last season fpr Yakima; Outfielder Mel Wasley who topped Spokane's hitting last year with a .336 average, and in fielder Larry Barton who was man ager at Visalia of the California League last year. Clint Cameron, who played at first base for Tri-City in 1950 and '51 and with Modesto of the Calif ornia League last year, was the fourth player signed. "Barton, Wasley and Cameron all are left-handed hitters with good batting averages that indicate the Broncs plan to take advantage of their short right field barrier this year.
