"B lB at :B B B : Phone 7-7024 Of vf yummy tuiiyic ui vuuu viyr - ,C1 f FBSH TALES if This column has never advocated advice on probable fishing or hunting conditions, but rather a report on what the fortunes have been of various anglers and nimnods. ... In the first place, by the time reports come to this office and reach the readers, conditions can change rapidly. . . . That's why we believe Orville O. Bishop, a local angler, has a legitimate com plaint. His letter follows "Just read your Fish Tales in tonight's Register-Guard, and the report on how good fishing was on the Umpqua river. "I fished all day with two companions and failed to even get a decent strike. Never saw a fish caught by other fishermen either. "Also I resent your advice on Scotts Hole being the best bank fishing "I can't personally say this year that they are charging 50 cents per head for fishing at Scotts hole, but in the past I have been stuck for that fee at above mentioned fishing spot. "I don't mind paying for the pleasure of fishing, but I resent being charged for such pleasure Unless one has a boat and fishing has begun to be a rich man's privilege. "Please don't take some of those so-called good fishing re ports from those who cash in on it, but from some who are on the other end. "Sometimes I wonder which end is the 'sucker' on, anyway." if We're inclined to believe that most ot the reports we've had are honest, and our biggest troubles come from lack of reports. . , . There is considerable luck in fishing, and maybe Mr. Bishop and his pals experienced "one of those days." , , . There WERE steelhead caught on the day in question and on the Umpqua. Speaking of luck in fishing, look at the case of Norm Hamp ton, mentioned in last week's column. . . . Hampton had never previously caught a steelhead, so Norm the necessary equipment for casting for bass, a first-rate reel, but a two-year-old line. . . , On the cast that eventually caught the 16-pound 1-ounce fish Hampton's tremendous heave barely got out of the boat, because of a terrific backlash. ... He was unable to untangle the "bird's nest" before the .fish struck and amazingly 'untangled the back lash on his first run. . . . Norm spent something like an hour and a half landing the fish and then it was time to head for home with second place in the Camp Indola derby fishing was good all weekend on the Siuslaw, and last Sat urday Jack Kerr and his two sons, Jerry and John, brought home limits up to 11 pounds. . . . The anglers had no less than 15 fish on during the trip. Rain washed out the angling Tuesday and Wednesday. Kenny King had Hal Chapman and Ralph Kruse Sunday, Gene Pitchford and Bob Cross Monday (limits by 11 a.m.) and Willis Shepard had a limit Thursday which was real hot. if The Christmas holidays have probably prevented hunters f run, trvlnir lni- In..
