FISHING SUPPLIES
S H E E D Y 'S
151 Powers, Oregon
Fishing has been poor at Agness
the past week, very few fish hav
ing been taken
There seem to
be fish in the river but they have
not been bitin.
(Editor’s note:
Perhaps the fishermen were not
using the right sort of liquid bait,
or not enough of it. You can
pull in five at a time if you use
enough of the proper brand of li
quid bait.)
Road conditions are somewhat
improved as Ions as the road re-
mams dry. I t is said that sedans
could not make it to Agness, but if
it rains again it is questionable
if anything except a high-centered
vehicle could make it.
A meeting of sportsmen was
held at Powers high school Sat
urday night, A pril 1«. Two movies
were shown, ‘“Fishing on the
Rogue River” and “Mule Deer and
Antelope.”
Jack Hayes, presi
dent of the Southwestern Oregon
Sportsmen's association, gave the
inside dope of the legislative fight
at Salem for the sportsmen’s laws
and he outlined the plans of the
association for the ensuing years.
