MEDFORDv&JTRIBUNE Hunting & Fishing Southern (Oregon By MEL Fishwise, the days of Au gust are called "Dog Days." Who started this apt term on its original journey isn't known but most fishermen, have found through long ex perience that for the most part August is somewhat dis appointing. There has been a lot of con jecture why this should be so. Some experts have thought that it is due to the fact that he fish have gorged them selves during the months of June and July, and during August they lie in the deeper portions of the lakes sort of sleeping it off! They think that after this resting period the fish start feeding again in September and October in preparation for ' the long winter. - Other "experts" feel that the slack fishing is due to the water temperature which is usually the warmest of the season. They think that the fish go to the deepest parts of the lake where the water is cool and rest there until the surface waters cool again. Whatever may be- lhe reason, both opinions have' weight for most of the lake fishing thai is done during ' this month is in the deeper portions of, the lakes with the exception of the late evening fishing which is in the shallower portions. Cer tainly the answer for this month is to fish deep whether the method is troll ing or still fishing. Not Affect Stream Fishing August doesn't seem to af fect the stream fishing espe cially when one is using flies. Some anglers do not have any luck, during this period be cause they fail to realize that the water is very clear and this .necessitates the use of very fine leaders and smaller flies. The clearness of the water makes the angler more visible also and he should use extreme caution in ap proaching waters that are holding fish. . There are some very inter esting bug hatches during this month for the careful ob server and if the angler is for tunate enough to tie his own flies imitating these delicate insects can be very intriguing and very productive for the The automobile industry consumes about 65 per cent of the upholstery leather pro duced in the United States. throwing and Bryan Cox first and Ken Eckel second in sliding. Ron Ward topped pee wees in throwing with Jim Brennan runner up. Dan Miles was winner in sliding and Jim Allen ranked next. For cubs and intermediates, Herb Wheeler and Jim Snod grass were one-two in throw ing. Sliding laurels went to Lee Johns . with Jim Berry runner-up. ' Dick Ragsdale was cubs batting champ and Jim Cal houn led intermediates. Pee Wee champion will be learned after final league action to day. 'This was the final day of the summer baseball program sponsored here by the school system. S . - W " t i REES fish really go for these life like reproductions. Klamath Produces August may be a dog month in most places but evidently Upper Klamath Lake hasn't heard about it for the "big fish" catch con tinues as regular as the "5:15." Bob Sloan of Harriman's resort says that there aren't too many anglers fishing now and this may be due to the fact that people think this is a bad month. Actual ly August is usually very good on Klamath lake. Med ford angler Al Chapman lost the weekly "big fish crown" by one-eighth of a pound. C h a p m a n's fish weighed 8V2 pounds and a fish caught by Le Roy O'Connor. Newman, Calif., weighed in at 85s. Other big fish listed were Roy Gibson, Medford 534; Kay O'Connor, Newman, Calif, 7; Chas. Pearson, Bur iingame, Cal., 63A and 5; Rue'dl Gum, Modesto, Cal., 5Vi; Jimmy James, Ash land, 6V4; Norman - Sled man, Los Angeles 4V; Clarence Linn, Klamath Falls, 7; Stell Loney, Klam ath Falls, 54; Chuck Ken ney, Ashland, 4; John Harp, Los Angeles, SVh; ' John Overand, Ashland, 6V and 534; Chas. Jackson, Klam ath Falls, 7'2. and Ed West rom, Klamath Falls, 73A. Best in Years The fishing here has been the best for some years, with a greater percentage of big fish caught. Nearly all of the above anglers took other fish besides these lunkers to fill their limits. Fish Lake Picks Up Lloyd Morris of Fish lake says that the fishing there has picked up somewhat but still isn't as good as it should be ' at this time of year. The best method is . trolling with fender and worms. Some really nice fish have been taken. The lake is continuing to lower and fishing should improve there any day now. Willow Creek reservoir is still producing some good catches. Four-Mile lake is listed as from fair .to good (depending on who is doing the fishing!) Most of the lakes in the Bend area have slowed down . and stream fishing there isn't as good as it was. AVAILABLE.
