Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL Though somewhat delayed, the salmon season finally start ed to click and fish were picked up all the way from Galice to Savage Rapids. Although none of the favorite areas produced very many, the fish that were taken were sea-fresh and ran fairly large. It took a woman to record the largest fish so far in the Grants Pass Sporting Goods an nual derby. Mary Arnold of Grants Pass, fishing Hansen's board below Galice, landed a 36-pound whopper. This fish should be right in the tally when the finals are in. Red Moore fishing the Sav age rapids hooked three fish last Sunday but only tamed one of 30 pounds. Red said that one of the fish broke his 105-pound steel leader in his dash for free dom some of those big ones will throw a kink in most any thing. f KLENT SIDES hammered Brasi spinners d0 Ne. 5 and 6 seem to ac Sfcasit for the most fish al though torn war taken on fterf n haf while Knobby'i Salmon Fishing fa Rogue River p and Down arnrflanrt (U.Rl The weekly ftfeaort on fish in 2 conditions pre fixed by the state game commis- (?: fibuthwemt: Lower Umoaua (er angling is slow; nortn (SKipqua and upper mam ump- a low and have good color; eft salmon being caught at pattered points but success gen-S-ally slow; water In Rogue iphtlv murkev from Savace Sapids to Galice; salmon fish- irg In Rogue slow in Grants f ass area and up and down in fewer river. cOSC Cindermen tfgke on Cougars Oregon State College, Cor allis Coach Hal Moe's sur prising track squad, which over whelmed Idaho at Moscow last fc-eek end, takes on stiffer oppo sition here Saturday when It meets Washington State in an other northern division dual meet. 'i " The Beaver golf varsity wi'l meet Oregon here Friday at the Corvallis Country club, while the OSC tennis team takes on Oregon here Saturday. Duane Marshall, sophomore shotput ace, set an all - time OSC mark of 52 feet V4 inch last week, and 155-pound javelin star Don Clay tossed the spear 206 feet to pace the Beaver at tack last week. Both should make strong bids for firsts Sat urday, along with Tom Black- stone and Ron Smart, discus Earnel Durden, sprints; and 36enson Foley, pole vault. OSC had fairly good strength ik the field events, but is weak in the distance races. One of he most improved Beavers is Cliff Cordy in the 880. He won 4 in event in 1:57.1 last week at Tfoscow- Assumes sparring Chicago (U.R) Middleweight $ing Gene Fullmer was sched med to resume sDarrine todav at is training camp and will drill fcily until April 27 for his May 1 title defense against Ray Rob feson. Fullmer took two days ff from sparring Tuesday and Vednesday in order not to lose lis edge. WORKING on his 18th year with the Dean & Taylor Pontiac is Bob Baixe, who, after 15 years in the serv ice management department, has become outstanding in the sales department through his knowl edge of the Pontiac Product. His customer loyalty has placed him in the enviable position as hav ing the longest list of repeat customers in the sales staff. Should you desire having "Bob" call on you for a demonstration drive to win the '57 Pontiac that will be given away free, call 2-5241 for an appointment and entry blank. You'll be able to discuss cars without the pressure so often associated in this field, and have answers that bear fact through experience. Adv. i m " - ' jar " - -. I REES came in for their share. This idea of what to use has too violent sides. One group maintains that a fish will hit whatever happens to be in front of his nose when he decided to hit and the other says that the fish is par ticular. Take your choice. I once saw a fellow land a chinook on a lure he fash ioned from the top of a sar dine can won his betl I GOLD BEACH SO-SO ' The salmon fishing at Gold Beach is only so 'n so according to Johnny Wolf who has spent the past 25 years watching 'em come and go from his little tackle shop. I stopped In last Sunday to visit with Johnny and he says that most of the anglers are local and that the fishing was just beginning to pick up when the river raised and stopped it. I was intrigued at the salmon philosophy handed out by Johnny and some time in the future will attempt to give the jist of it of course lacking Johnny's style in telling it. HACKLES RAISED Probably no statement in a long, long time has raised the hackles on so many fishermen as-that made by Cole Rivers, game commission fish biolo gist, at a meeting of the Rogue Rod and Gun club about a week ago. Rivers is reported to have said that it may be necessary to close the Applegate and the middle Rogue rivers to all fishing in order to build up the steel head runs. In a survey among leading sportsmen of the valley the following statements were made: "A great mistake was made by Rivers in recommending the opening of the Applegate to steelheading it is one of the best spawning areas for the Rogue and too many spawners are being taken." "If thes game commission hadn't been so lax in their work for screens on Savage Rapids dam, the 100,000 plus young steelhead and salmon which their biologists say are chewed up each year could have kept our runs up to normal." "Inasmuch ; as most of the trout caught during this season are young steelhead and salmon, why not close the river to trout fishing." (This one brought a howl from the motel owners.) "Move the boats off the river. (For fishing purposes). If every one fished from the shore, there wouldn't be a percentage of the fish now taken." (This one brought a howl from the boat fishermen.) Between the howls and the headaches there is no question but that something needs to be done and too much delay in doing it may be somewhat dis asterous for the local fishery. It would seem at this point that some unselfish but cooperative, concerted action by local sports men is needed now! Don Clay Has ' Best Spear Toss University of Oregon, Eugene Oregon and Washington con tinue to dominate the Northern division track and field marks as the 1957 dual meet season goes into the third week and the two leaders will settle the top spot Saturday at Hayward Field in their annual meeting.
