If the current weather con
tinues best fishing will be on
Main street with good catches
being made on some of the side
streets and city lots but Al Piche
says Illinois river will be the
place to go. Good catches were
reported from the Illinois the
past week with an Ashland and
Medford angler teaming up to
bring home a dandy catch. Roads
into tlie Illinois are reported ex
ceptionally muddy but passable
to all cars.
Steelhead fishing In Rogue
river has been good the past
few weeks with results spotty
from Gold Ray down to Gold
Hill. Downstream from Grants
Pass fishing is excellent and
many limit catches have been
reported. Three Medford fish
ermen, using a boat, reported
to friends that they caught
18 steelheads while another
angler with a boat said he
caught nine.
Commenting on boat fishing
in the rogue, Piche said "some
funny laws we have which prove
favorable with our local Sports
man's Club. Just 32 down the
Rogue from Medford fishermen
are permitted to use boats the
year around while in the upper
part of the same river anglers
cannot fish from boats after
June 30." Sounds as if maybe
Piche has a justifiable gripe
there.
At Gold Ray last Sunday
Bill Fraad hooked six silver
sides, losing one at gaff while
four others broke tackle and
escaped. The lone fish landed
weighed 18 pounds. A teles
cops rod and size three tan
dem spinners in nickle were
the successful combination.
San Francisco, Dec. 28 (U.R)

call only two practices on the

out in the Menlo Junior college
g.vm.

stopped and went through a hard
