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

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

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.
