Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss PAT BARRON Pitches For Maids 6 3 Dairy Maids Tussle Salem on Saturday Rogue Valley Dairy Maids I other of the two teams during i Rogue Valley beat Eugene i Lind Florists of Portland in and the Salem Shamrocks, who "left off in the 1961 Oregon state Softball tourney here, "take up" again on Sat urday night. The two strong women's softball teams clash at Memo rial field. White City, in the Northwest Women's Major Softball league. A double header is planned with the first game about 7 p.m. Caliber of the two clubs is shown by the fact that the women's state crown has been worn by either one or the ALL-OPPONET TEAM Eugene-IUPII-Oregon's 1962 10-man all opponent baseball team had five men each from Oregon State and Washington State. Oregon State choices were pitcher Cecil Ira. second baseman Dave Long, third baseman Gene Hilliard, and outfielders Larry Petersen and Al Lehrer. Washington Staters named were pitcher Bob Stephens, first baseman Paul Tomlinson, outfielder Bob Walker, shortstop Zeke Block' linger and catcher Pat Crook Grants Pass Tops Schulz In JC Softball League Black Cashmere Grain Charcoal Brown $1695 Shoe Den for Men Central it Main Downtown Medford There are a fair number of frustrated anglers in the state who wish they had picked some spot other than Diamond lake for a season starter. Not only were the fish in an uncooperative mood, but the air was filled with bugs that crawled any place that was crawlable, in cluding the mouth, nose and ears. The opening week end was so unpleasant and unpro ductive that there were less than two dozen boats on the lake by Monday. HOW COME? Why weren't the fish in a biting mood as is customary on opening day? (No, Sore head, it wasn't becaui the gam commission fed ih fish on Wednesday or Thursday). According io reports from those who were at the lake during lh week preceding opening day, a hatch of midges came out on Wednai- day and started the fish on a feeding spre that lasted until rriaay nigni. By saturaay morning the fish definitely were not in a taking mood, and it was a lucky angler who had a strike or a fish. It is estimated that about 300 fish were taken, but other estimates place the catch at much less than that. Other factors that may have had some influence would be the coldness of the water and the accompanying delay in the beginning ot tne spawning cycle. BUGS. BUGS, BUGS For the information of those who were impressed with the tremendous numbers of midges that spoiled all that is left when the fishing is lousy, this insect is also called "mosquito killer" because of its activities during its very short life span. This is an aquatic insect in that it spends the first part of its life on he bottom of the lake. It is then in larval form and eventually rises to the sur face, "hatches" into a winged insect, lives a life of very few hours, lays its eggs and dies. KAMLOOPS ARE OUT The gam commission has decided that its experiment with the kamloops trout in Diamond is not providing the ! fishery expected. It appears that the water stays too cold and the fish spawn loo late in the season. This year the commission u beginning I program of stocking Diamond with another specie of rain bow trout. This is a fall spawning rainbow that it is hoped will fill the gap left by the spawning period of the kamloops. An initial plant 100,000 will be mad lnu year, 150,000 of which are al ready in the lake. There is no doubt that Dia mond is on of th richest lakes in the country in terms of natural food available to the fish, and th experience of this year's opening day shows lh need of mart fish in the lake to compete for this food. On might even justify this as a control prob lem that must be solved for th protection of the anglers, THE ANGLER'S LOG There does appear to be a change in the weather that should make the lake fishing a little more bearable. The reports from the' lakes indi cate plenty of fish are avail able and water conditions ideal for a season to be re membered. Southern Oregon can expect more and more out-of-state anglers t-ying the fare here and the other fair in Seattle during the summer months. Grants Pass, from Jose phine county, moved to the top of the standings last night, as the lone unbeaten team in tho Jackson County Softball association. The Climate city club, vic tor . in three tilts, bounced Keith Schulz garage 7 to 3. It was the first loss in five loop games for the Garage men. Butte Falls thumped Com- ntamond Lake Fishing ha been getting better each day. Not too many boats out, . but the success ratio is improving. There were an estimated 3.000 boats on the lake opening day and they reported in about 30 fish across the dock. There were eight boats out Thurs day and they checked in 23 fish. Stillfishing with eggs appears to be the best bet with trolling a flat fish second-best. Fish Lake Is very good with many limits taken in a short time. The road has been rough, but is supposed to be graded for this week end. Rainbow over two pounds in weight are being taken. A Mrs. Pelican of Hollywood plucked out an lB-incher that weighed in at 2'i pounds. She was trolling a FF&W. Stillfishing with eggs or worms is Uking most of the fish. Howard Prairie Is so consistent in providing a good day's fishing that it is the same story every week. Some anglers report picking up half a limit trolling from the dock out to where they wanted to start fishing. Bank fishing Is slower than boat fishing, hut plenty of fish are being taken. Trolling a 3T Is the best. Hyatt Lake This little surpriser ' is putting out some of the nicest fish around. They are averaging 12 to IS inches with 18 inches showing up every once In a while. Standard gear has been doing quite well, but limits are for those who can improvise when the fish f:et choosy. Woolly worms are tak ng some nice fish. L.emola Lake Has been giving up the usual quota of rainbow. brown, and brook trout. Trolling or stillfishing will catch fish. Squaw Lakes The road Is In I good shape. The catfishfng Is tops. Trout fishing Is fair with fish averaging 10 inches. Cluster eggs , off the bank for trout, or trolling : a FF&W does the job. The water i la warming no and some hardy I souls are trying out the swimming already. Willow Lake Plenty of limits still being taken. Wednesday saw a rainbow of over two pounds taken. Appleeale River Lots of action for hatchery size fish. This is easy to do with flies or single eggs. Klsmath River The salmon fly hatch is out and things are boiling on the Oregon side. Rogue River Trout are being fairly cooperative with even a few cutthroat showing up. The salmon haven't been too easily taken with quite a few anglers holding up the average of 50 hours to catch a fish. " THE OPTIMIST'S COnHtn If th present experiments being carried out by th slat of California and Pacific Pow er and Light on th Klamath river are successful, ther ought to be on big fishing hoi from Irongat dam down to the mouth of th river. Let's hop so. GOOD LUCKI Judo Will Be Demonstrated To Sportsmen Medford Judo academy will give a demonstration Monday, June 4, at the regular meet ing of Oregon Sportsman Club of Jackson County.

The Maids wrested the man tle from the Shamrocks last year by winning two of three games against them in the double elimination tourney. ItV took the first game 2 to 1 and Salem the second 1 to 0. Then in the deciding con test, which went a marathon 14 innings, the Maids nipped the Capital city crew 1 to 0.
