For example, 1 saw any number of men swim for close to five hours down the almost ice cold McKenzie River on Sunday during the Whitewater Parade. Most of these hardy chaps were wearing rubber frogmen suits, but one was clad only In pants and shirt. They hung onto truck tulies nnd propelled themselves mndly through the rapids with rub ber swim-fins on their feel. The parade this year took place under stormy skies with rain a frequent occurrence. According lo Prince Helfrich. Parade Chairman, some 160 bonis, floats, etc., made the pilgrimage from a point a few miles above Blue River down to Vida (sometimes colled Lcaburg) Lake. . AT LEAST, TIIF.Y DON'T SINK Of course, thcro were dozens of the highsided McKenzie River boats sailing through the rapids like ducks on a pond. Then there were numerous rubber boats that wallowed through like old cowa slogging across a swamp. Ilut one thing was well proven: rubber boali don't sink, and they tnke up a lot of the shock when you slam Into a submerged rock, A oroiiD of bovs from an Explorer Post in Seattle made the run In little bitty one-man boats they sliding through the fast water. Some of the boats flipped, but this writer was always someplace else when It happened. At Martin's Rapids, the Whitewater where so many duiikings have occurred in past parades, the boats slid through In good shape, though a few close calls had die crowd gasping. BOATS FROM IIKNI) TO BEND Despite the weather, there were thousands of people taking in the affair. Traffic moved al a snail's pace on many sections of the high way. Traffic officers were constantly busy unsnarling jams and keep ing things moving. The whole thing was quite a spectacle, one that every Oregon Ian should sec at least once. The McKenzie Is one of America's most beautiful rivers, and with bntlonn-feslooned boa,ts stretching a mile upstream, It's a sight to behold. DEEP RUNNING LURES FOR EARLY BASS Bass are being taken now In ponds and backwaters in this area. and anglers with a yen to whip their rods around a bit before trout season arc taking advantage- of the fact. Ideal bass fishing will not be encountered until the water warms a bit, but even so bass can be taken now, primarily with deep working lures. Over the years, I have found thai a jointed green plug, a hot-tom-runner, seems to do the best job for mo this time of year. The surface plugs nnd popping bugs arc not too effective, as the fish Just won't come up for them. Especially Is this true of the hlg bass. A daredevil will work occasionally, provided you let It sink way down deep before starting to retrieve. Right now with the water murky, a bright lure will probably be an advantage. Remember that in most cases a bass hits a lure be cause it makes him mnd, and he can't feel incensed at something he doesn't sec.

It was her first tournament vic tory, but then she has been on the tour only a little more than three months.
