Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL HEES With the water low, clear and cold the fishing on both the Rogue and Applegate rivers this past week was in the maybe class. It is true that there were main limits taken but in com- parsion to the number of anglers the success ratio was negligible Tht reported large concentra tion of fish at Agness has not reached Rainy falls and it is highly doubtful if they will cov er the Rand area in time for the last day of the season on the Rogue which is tomorrow. Most of the fish that have been caught have been fresh run and it is thought by veteran river men that these fresh fish break away from the main con centration and migrate upstream ahead. They have been very scattered and hard to come by, Illinois Bast The Illinois has been the best producer this past week. The fish have been well - scattered with no particular spot the best fishing. The Swinging Bridge area hasn't produced like it did a week ago but plenty of fish have been taken there. Sam's Sporting Goods comes up with the information that World Series In Football Possibility Philadelphia U.R) The Na tional Football league and its formerrch rival, the Canadian Professional Football council, looked today to a future that might see a playoff meeting of their respective champions. Bert Bell, NFL cornmissioner, and Ralph Cooper, Canadian council president, met inform ally here Wednesday to discuss mutual CP r ob 1 e rS s, including claims tocpfayer rights which oft9 made the lea jum ceurt op ponents. QThe upshot3 of the meeting was agreement by th commis sioners, frf pro football on the North 'American continent that there 'Sre "no major differ ences, nothing which can't be ironed out" facirfj the two loops. Pre-Season Eevel The two league directors looked ahead to games at the pre-sewson level. "The last inter-league meet ing was a gane between New York and Ottawa in 1952," Coop said. "But there's a good chance of the teams playing more and more games against ea0i other in the future." Bell agreed and also nodded assent when it was suggested a world series game between champions of either league could be a fact in the future. "If Jhere were enough rule changed, that might be possible," L Cooper said. Japanese Battery To Join Dodgers At Spring Camp Tokyo UR) The most prom ising battery in Japan's two pro fessional baseball leagues- will join ,the Brooklyn Dodgers' spring training camp at Vero Beach, Florida, for one month, it was announced today. Fumitaro Watanabe, owner of the Yomiuri Giants, told the United Press that righthander Sho Horiuchi, 21, and catcher Shigeru Fujio. 22, sid Giants' Manager Nobuyasu Mizuhara will leave Tokyo by plane Feb. 26 to join the Dodgers in Flor ida. The Dodgers, who played an exhibition series here last fall, were impressed with the sharp overhand hooks of Horiuchi and the splendid throwing arm of Fujio. Watanabe said the Dodgers had offered to- sign Horiuchi and Fujio to play for one year with a triple "A" minor league club in the U.S. "But the Giants could not spaPe the two in the 1957 sea son which we expect will be a tough one for us to repeat as pennant winners," Watanabe said. "They will be back in Japan in time for the opening of the Centra League season on(Marchc5l." local anglers Dick Niediermeyer, John Mass and Ralph Clemens limited there last week using of all things No. 3 Nips in brass. This is very interesting in view of the lure used. Most fishermen have been sticking to eggs, Spin n Glos and Oakie Drifters but this proves that it pays to change now and then. A fresh run hit the Smith river last Saturday and Jim Burnette and wife with Bruce LathrOp landed 9 fish running in the 10-12 pound class. Spin n Glos turned the trick. By Sun day the run had disappeared and even the "locals" were scratch ing. This writer in company with Don Dillingham and Weir Dixon of Grants Pass picked up three but had to fish 9 spots to do it. The water on the Smith is low and clear but these runs will continue to come in now and it only takes a bit of luck to land right in the middle of one. The Chetco is reported only fair to good with fish scattered all the way from the ocean to the low water bridge. Cluster eggs Spin n Glos and Wobbler ites are the standard baits used now. All the southern Oregon streams except the Rogue will remain open till the close of February. It will be good news to many trout anglers in the valley to learn that Bolin lake will be open this year. It was at first reported that It would be closed but on checking with Cole Riv ers,, fish biologist for the game commission in the Grants Pass area, it was learned that it will be opened. Bonn was poisoned two years ago to get rid of the bull heads and catfish then restocked and kept closed for a year. The fish ing this year should be excel lent. Recently, studies have been made as to the importance of the leader in winter steelhead fishing. Most anglers have thought that it didn't make too much difference what length the leader was but there is a new trend of thought that it makes a great deal. This past season the difference between a limit and no fish at all has been proven to be the difference between a leader 18 inches long and one of 12 inches. A compilation of the various ideas, theories and experiments adds up to the following which should by no means be consider ed conclusive but rather infor mation which will serve as a basis for further study. When the water is low and clear or if the fish are on the move and are to be found in relatively shallow water, the leader should be from 14 to 24 inches in length to allow the bait or lure to drift far enough from the lead to avoid scaring the fish. On the other hand when the water is murky or when the water is so cold that the fish are hugging the bottom in the deepest holes it is necessary to use short, leaders, say from 10 to 12 inches, in order to keep the bait close to the bottom. Longer leaders have a tendency to float the bait to high and the fish don't seem inclined to go out of their way to take it. Divided into seasons, general ly, it might be stated that long er leaders are called for dur ing the fall or early season and short leaders during the winter or late season when the water temperatures are much lower and Jhe water conditions are not so clear.

Thursday, February 14, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Stengel Launches Rookie School By UNITED PRESS Casey Stengel was back at the old stand today, leading Yankee ball players on the field and not the least bit concerned that four of his top pitchers are balking at salary terms. Stengel officially opened the Yankees' rookie school at St. Petersburg, Fla., and the varsity batterymen are due to report there to him in less than two weeks. Right now, though, Don (Per fect Game) Larsen, Johnny Kucks, Tommy Byrne and Tom Sturdivant are among the 17 Yankee players who are un signed. 24 Yanks Signed The Yankees raised their signed total to 24 when they an nounced the receipt of contracts from outfielders Norm Siebern and Bob Martyn, both candi dates for the left field job. Vic Wertz, who came back from a polio attack to lead the Indians in slugging last year with 32 homers and 106 runs batted in, signed his contract for an estimated $25,000.
