Summer Fishing
A fte r w arm weather re a lly has
set in, the angler who pursues his
sport in lakes or man-made reser­
vo irs w ill find that bluegills and
largem outh bass provide most of
the action he receives. To catch
these fish in m id-sum m er requires
a change in strategy used e a rlie r
in the season.
D uring J u ly the big bluegills
move from
deep into
shallow
w aters in most of the lakes and
reservoirs. At this tim e they are
spawning, and i f abundant in the
lake, they m ay cause quite a com ­
m otion in the shallow w ater areas.
I f the fly fisherm an approaches
these areas quietly, p re fera bly in
a boat, and drops a sm all, co rk ­
bodied black bug or wet fly into
the m iddle of the confused fish,
strikes w ill be numerous and it is
often easy to take the lim it.

Savory R elish

as easily as some foods team

I f you answer these questions

There’s little chance of fa ilu re

and vinegar are a preservative and

H
LYNN SAYS:
Observe These Tips
For Crisp Pickles
Salt used in m aking pickles
should be of good q u a lity, w ith not
too "m uch chem ical added to it to
prevent caking. Table or d a iry
salt, such as is used in fla vorin g
butter, is good to use.
In m aking sweet pickles, do not
place them in too heavy a syrup
o r they w ill sh rivel. The vinegar
solution should not be too strong,
either, at fir s t or the p ickle w ill
shrink.

In m aking catsups, use a low

To fo re sta ll the cries of the not-
too-w ell-inform ed conservationists,
there is little c ritic is m to be a t­
tached to ta king bluegills durin g
these periods. Conservation experts
have discovered that there is little
likelihood of the man w ith a rod
and reel depleting fish population
to a disastrous extent.
In fact, m any such experts de­
clare that it is too little fishing,
ra th e r than too much, w hich makes
fo r sm all fish and poor fishing gen­
e ra lly, p a rtic u la rly in the pan-fish­
ing field. Research has indicated
th a t it is alm ost impossible to over­
fish bluegills, therefore it is actua l­
ly desirable to - reduce the num ber
of bluegills by fishing.
In J u ly and August the b lu e g ill
fisherm an who uses w orm s and
grubs re a lly comes into his own.
A casting rod, cane pole, or fly
rod equipped w ith a lig h t line,
seven-foot leader of six pounds or
less test and a size 4 hook is the
ideal rig . A couple o f BB shot m ay
be used as sinkers i f deeper
w aters are to be fished. In late
afternoon, during the period m en­
tioned, watch fo r a rise o f blue­
g ills to the surface. This often hap­
pens in the e arly m ornings. D uring
these “ rises” is when the fly rod
angler gets in his best licks. The
action is fast and furious and the
fisherm an who use3 two or more
flies on his leader w ill often take
as m any as two fish at a tim e,
w’ith a trip le hot too infrequent as
to be amazing.

P
Cider vinegar is most frequently
used fo r pickling since m any people
like its m ellow flavor. L ig h t vine­
gar m ay be used for pickling light
colored fru its and vegetables.
Over-m ature vegetables w ill fre ­
quently give you tough and taste­
less pickles.
F ru its
which
are overly-ripe
should not be used fo r p ickling as
they w ill not hold th e ir shape wall
enough to make nice pickles.
A ll relishes should be stored in
a cool, dark place, away from
drafts.

Spraying d a iry cattle is a big
Job fo r farm ers, but it w ill help
build the type of clean, "c o n ­
tented” d a iry herds such as
that shown here.
m anner: You can get 15 per cent
more m ilk up to September if you
spray. This has been dem onstrated
by careful sm all-scale fie ld tests.
I t is generally estim ated that the
average cow w ill give 1,700 pounds
of m ilk during the four-m onth fly
season. A 10 per cent boost — in­
stead of 15 per cent — would mean
170 pounds of m ilk for th a t tim e.
F o r a 15-cow herd, that would mean
2,550 pounds of extra m ilk from
fly-con trol.
F igured conservatively at $3 a
hundredweight, th a t’s ju s t under
$75 more in m ilk checks. And it
costs only about 20 or 25 cents a
head fo r spraying.
P etty recommends spraying the
inside of d a iry barns two or three
tim es during the summ er. He sug­
gests th a t the form ula used provide
fo r one pound o f 50 per cent me-
thoxychlor-w ettable powder in two
to fo u r gallons of w ater to every
1,000 square feet of surface.
D a iry cattle should be sprayed
w ith m ethoxychlor every two to
fo u r weeks to control horn flies.
The form ula is one-half pound of
50 per cent powder in three gallons
o f w ater and apply one q u a rt to
each cow.

Use Landing Net
When the average fisherm an
buys a casting line the chances are
that he w ill get at least an 18-
pound test line and, quite often,
w ill insist on a 24 or even a 30-
pound test line. There’ s hardly a
fresh-water fish that swims that
could break an 18-pound test line
in the hands of a fa ir-skille d angler,
and the experienced fisherm an
finds no d iffic u lty in landing prize-
w inning heavyweights on lines test
ing from 9 to 12 pounds.

Old & New
There are no figures at hand at
the moment, but it is a logical sur­
mise that not m ore than 5 per cent
of the nation's anglers ever use
a landing net. Once an angler has
used a landing net, the chances
are th a t it w ill become a "m u s t”
in his equipm ent. L ike most fish ­
ing tackle, one can be bought fo r
three dollars or 15 dollars, depend­
ing on yo ur choice and bankroll.
H ere’s why a landing net is im ­
p ortan t: W hile yo ur fish is s till in
the w ater a large percentage of his
weight is supported by the w ater—
but when you grab your line to try
to lif t him out, line and leader
m ust support his entire weight.
