scored three runs in the sixth
and two more in the seventh
to make it close, but reliefer
Bill Henry shut out the in
vaders over the last two in
nings to save the victory.
George Freese homered for
the winners and Roger Mc
Cardell hit the Giants' only
four-bagger, far below their
usual output.
At Sacramento, Carlos
Paula smashed a grand slam
homer in the bottom of the
ninth to even the Solons
series with Vancouver at one
game, apiece. Paula came off
the bench to pinch-hit for
Jim Greengrass and promptly
lined the first pitch over the
left field fence. The Solons
scored their first run in the
ninth when Nippy Jones sing
led home Al Heist, who had
gotten on base via an infield
hit.
Russ Heman had allowed
the Sacs only three hits until
the ninth but 'the one pitch
sent him down to his fourth
defeat. Marshall Bridges gain
ed the victory, his sixth
against two losses.
Bob Jenkins and Glen Gor
boug paced Spokane's 13-hit
attack with homer apiece to
give Dick Hanlon his sixth
win of the season. Carlos Ber
nier, leading PCL hitter, con
nected safely in his 36th con
secutive game and Dick Stu
art hit his 18th home run for
Salt Lake. Sam Miley chipped
in with a pair of round-trippers
but the Bees could never
manage to overtake the win
ners. The walks with the bases
loaded at Seattle proved cost
ly for San Diego, letting in
the tieing and winning runs
for the Rainiers. Hal Wood
eschick, who relieved starter
and loser Dick Brodowski dur
ing Seattle's ninth inning
rally, gave up the successive
passes after the Rainiers had
loaded the bags on a single,
error and an intentional walk.
The victory went to Marty
Kutyna, his fourth against
five defeats.
Earl Averill homered for
the losers while Vida Pinson
put one out of the part, for the
Rainiers.

General fishing picture for
the past week has been a good
one. Many anglers .limited
within the first hour of the
open season on the many
streams in this end of the
state. Water conditions were
ideal with the exception of
the lower Rogue from Gold
Ray dam downstream where
high murky water conditions
prevailed.
Actually this section of the
Rogue was in no condition to
evaluate whether the main
schools of young steelhead
and salmon had moved down
stream (as the game commis
sio.i hoped) or rot. Usually
these fish move about this
time of the season anyway? so,
it is possible that with the con
tinued high water this season
may pass without this ques
tion being answered.
CHANGE IN DIET
Fishing on the lakes stacked
up about as follows:
Fish Lake The hatch of
black ants has been consumed
and the fish are looking for a
change of diet. The lodge
there reports that the fishing
has greatly improved and
some really nice fish are being
taken. Fish up to 18 or 19
inches are not" uncommon.
Still fishing with worms or
eggs is still the best producer,
however some nice catches
have been made using flatfish
and fender 'n worms.
Willow Creek Reservoir
Fish are running unusually
large this year with most of
them stretching over the foot
mark. Fishing has improved
and several limits reported.
Harriman's Resort, Klam
ath Falls Fishing in this
favorite spot has come into
it's own according to Bob
Sloan, manager of Harri
man's. It took a Medford man
to ring the big bell this past
week. Earl Stephenson using
a silver Wobblerite boated a
rainbow weighing nine
pounds! Some other big fish
were taken by the following;
Walt Bickerton of San Diego,
Calif., 4V2; J. J. Stines of
Pueblo, Colo., 4Vz;C. L. Judd
Jr., U.S.A.F., 63A, J. J. Judd
Sr., of Harriman's, 534; H. E.
Rouss of K. Falls, 4.
With ideal weather condi
tions in prospect, this com
ing week end should be a
good one.
Squaw Lake Reports in
dicate that the small lake is
tapering off somewhat but
the larger lake seems to be
on the increase and some very
nice limits are being taken
from there.
SOME INFO OFF
When writing a column of
this type I am of course very
dependent upon the informa
tion received from returning
fishermen, phone calls and the
like. It would be impossible
to visit each spot each week
and find out the information
first hand (but who wouldn't
like to)!
Sometimes well wishing and
meaning folks dispense some
info which eventually proves
erroneous and although it is

REES
regrettable it is also inevit

except to attempt to correct
it when brought to my attten-
lon.
TRUE PICTURE
I received a letter from
Helga Mitchell of Jackson
ville, Oregon, this past week
in which she pointed out some
discrepancies in reports con
cerning Squaw Lake. Since
receiving this letter, I have
investigated and find that she
is indeed right and that the
information I have received
from time tp time concerning
this lovely little lake have
been somewhat erroneous.
This is the true picture as I
have found it:
Heavy Plantings of Large
Fish There were 3,000 fish
approx 7 inches planted
just before the fishing in
vasion of last July 4. In the
fall there were 25,340 fall
thinouts planted, which ac
cording to Cole Rivers, game
commission biologist, should
reach legal size by the latter
part of this June or July. Be
sides this there were about
80,000 fingerlings planted in
the little lake. The above
could hardly be expected to
constitute a "planting of large
fish!"
Late Season Warm Water
This has been a popular
theory for many years around
these parts. Actually the lake
does warm up a bit within
the first 6 to 8 feet but below
this depth it is too cold for
comfort. Mrs. Mitchell re
calls that on a warm day last
August a professional skin
diver from Roseburg went to
the bottom of the lake to re
trieve a motor. The water was
so icy lhat "he didn't warm up
for the rest of the day!"
The Fish Get Wormy Late
In The Stason I heard this
many years ago when I first
came to Southern Oregon.
This was actually true many
years ago when miners threw
their deer skins in the lake.
It was also true when the
lakes were stocked with Mon
tana black-spotted cutthroat
trout. According to Rivers,
these fish had a tendency to
become wormy late in the sea
son. However, Rivers now
states that since they have
planted the lakes with native
rainbows they have never en- i
countered a wormy fish.
REPUTATION RESTORED
- It is difficult to drown a
story once it has a good head
start but I hope that the
readers will realize from the
foregoing that these ideas
which have come to be ac
cepted by a large majority of
the fishing fraternity are not
now true. This Squaw lake is
one of our most beautiful
lakes and certainly deserves
a beautiful reputation.
Personally, I have fished
the lake several times and
found nothing in the way of
bad fish. It is true that I have
never fished this lake late in
the season. I am happy to help
rehabilitate the reputation of
Squaw lake and am thankful
that Mrs. Mitchell brought
this to light.
