“To be entirely at leieure tor cm

—Chinese proverb.
By Edith Durban
If you are interested in fishing
and have neither time nor tires to
go to the mountain streams, you
will be interested to know that
there is excellent sport almost
within walking distance of Camp
Adair. Spiney-rayed fishes abound
in at least 10 lakes and many more
sloughs within a radius of about
12 miles around Corvallis, and the
fishermen are few.
Black bass, sunfish, crappies or
calico bass, yellow perch and cat­
fish are among the fish to be found
in these lakes, and they can all
offer plenty of excitement.
The spiney-rays, which is a gen­
eral designation applying to fish
having sharp spiney dorsal fin rays
rather than only soft rays such as
found in trout and salmon, were
introduced from mid-western or
eastern states, and have not been
as popular as native species. Ore­
gon fishermen have preferred trout
or salmon fishing, and as a result
the pressure on spiney-rays has not
been heavy. The accessibility of
warm water lakes, where such fish
thrive, is increasing the popularity
of this sport.
■Of these, Colorado lake is one of
the largest and best known. It is
within four miles of Corvallis and
can be reached by driving about
two miles from Corvallis on the
east road to Albany, leaving town
by way of the Van Buren street
bridge. Turn to the left where the
sign indicates and drive about one
mile farther. Boats may be rented,
or you may fish front the banks
by paying a small charge.
Jay B. Long, instructor in fish
and game management at Oregon
State college, and an experienced
fisherman, recommends fly fishing
for bass and sunfish, although they
are often caught by using worms
for bait. An ordinary fly rod out­
fit, with almost any small fly sire
8 to 12 is suggested for sunfish.
The best results are obtained by
fishing the fly just under the sur­
face with a very slow retrieve. Mr.
Long also suggests using dry flies,
or floating flies on warm, sunny
days when the fish are cruising
near the surface.
For bass Mr. Long suggests large
fuzzy-bodied flies or bass with
cork bodies. Live minnows or arti­
ficial plugs are also effective for
bass fishing. Minnows may be
legally used when fishing for
spiney-rayed fish only when used
in the same waters from which they
have been taken.
The daily bag limit for spiney-
rays is 30 fish or 20 pounds and
one fish.
And one tip—a little ingenuity
will uncover other lakes plentifully
stocked with fish, but the fisher­
men aren’t telling all they know.
There is one catch, however. A
boat is usually necessary on most
of the sloughs and smaller lakes.
