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.
