The salmon took quite a mauling on Sat urday and consequently were a little harder to come by on Sunday. It's a good thing the season has been shortened to close on the first of July or the sports anglers would ex ceed the annual catch of 20 per cent of the total run. This excessive angling pressure is going to make it difficult to build up our run of the high ly prized spring Chinook sal mon of the Rogue river. LOTS OF LAKES Th high percentage of Jacks in the present run has many people speculat ing on the possibility thai they foretell a general in crease in the sise of the runs. Since they are three year fish that are sexually precocious, and since the screens at Savage Rapids dam have been in operation for three years, these re turning Jacks war down strum migrants when th screens were first operative. CROSS YOUR FINGERS The experts aren't taking any bets on the meaning of the increase in jacks. They used to think that a high number of jacks meant a good run the following year, but they've waited too many years BOWLING TUESDAY MIXED DOUBLES (Roxy Ann Lanei) Standings: W Slow Pokei . .......14 Misfit 13 Boobi 11 Sweet Pe 11 Tlgen , , B ieiBure rimer u Flub Dubs . 7 13 Hot Shot 7 13 Results: Sweet Peai 3 Sdu1 Parsons 456 2093; Slow Pokes 1 (Gen Brook 94 u I Boob 3 (Wally Norum 413) 2048; Tiaeri 1 (Dick Adkim 480) 2010.

The biologists might go so far as to say that the Increase In jacks Is "a pos sible sign that the screens may be the cause", but they would much rather keep their fin gers crossed and their hands in their pockets. THREE DAMS The migratory fish of the Rogue have three stumbling blocks to their progress up or downstream; the dam at Gold Ray, the Ideal Cement company dam, and the dam at Savage Rapids. At this time the screens in front of the turbines of Savage Rap ids are working effectively and counts indicate almost all downstreamers are mak ing the trip. The louvre screens at Ideal Cement are 51 per cent efficient and the game commission is working with the company on changes in water veloci ty in an attempt to improve the efficiency. The turbines of the Copco dam at Gold Ray are unscreened and the game commission is still working with the company to determine whether or not the turbines kill fish. MANAGEMENT! The above mentioned obsta cles are manmade and as such are capable of being used in a manner that does the least amount of damage to our fish life. As a matter of fact, all of the factors that do the greatest harm to the fishery are manmade. On this basis it is neither Idealistic nor starry-eyed to insist that con servation of such a natural resource is possible with proper management. The catch being that the manage ment shall have to be that of man. THE ANGLER'S LOG There have been several reports that fish are being taken from Fish lake and Howard Prairie with para sites in them. The natural question in the mind of any. one confronted with worms, depending on how upset they get when they see them. Is whether or not they are edible. According to the man who knows fish best, there isn't a fish para, site on the Pacific coast that can't be eaten by man. Especially if they are cooked first! Diamond Lake The spawn- ers are moving back into the lake proper and should be available soon. It takes them from 2 to 3 weeks to recover their color. Biggest fish from which eggs were taken by the game commission weighed 12 pounds. Fish Lake-Is still red hot. FF&W and FF&3T are the best trolllr.g rigs. Stlllf ishing with single eggs is good. Four Mile Lake - Is very good. Stillfishing for kokanee is good. Trolling FF&W will pick up rainbow or brookies. Howard Prairie-Fishing is spotty. Reports of worms in the fish shouldn't hurt their fighting qualities and won't hurt their flavor when cooked. Klamath Lake - Real hot. FF&W at the mouth of Har riman's creek at dawn is the password. Boats in with limits by 6 o'clock. Biggest one on the lunker board weighed in at almost 15 pounds. Caught by a man from Klamath Falls. All time record is a monster of 26 Vi pounds. Lake of the Woods-Is still good. FF&3T or late evening flyfishing really pays off. Squaw Lakes-Go up and try the new diving board. If you can't swim, try fishing; it'll work using FF&W. If you're behind on your sleep, try catfishlng. Willow Creek - Fishing is spotty. Best bet is stillfishing with single eggs, cluster eggs, or cheese. Fish are from 8 to 10 inches. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Either the salmon have my number or I don't have theirs. Whichever it is, last ing connections have not been established. Probably the best way to look at it would be to consider it my Why Settle for lest when you can DRINK THE BESTI A&W ROOT BEER "Take heme gallon" Corner of Jackson and Riverside Dairy Maids Port Angeles Play Lind Florists Next NORTHWEST WOMEN'S SOFTBALL LEAGUE (Incomplste) W.

Rogue Valley and Port An geles divided 'in a previous series in the Washington town, just like the Maids have done against every league club they have played this season. The Dairy Maids will have their first meeting with the Flor ists in the current campaign. In the early tussles at Port Angeles the clubs had 18 in nings of ball with one game going 11 cantos, four more than regular. Pat Barron of RV and Joanne Sundquist of PA each pitched the entire 18 innings. Ellen Callaghan is expected to share pitching duties with Barron this Sat urday for the Maids.
