By Hank DaVois
The salmon season in the
Rogue river was thought to
be off to a good start when
it was reported that me
snaggers were throwing back
those fish that were foul
hooked. This was observed
and checked to be the case
below Savage Rapids dam. H
was reported with optimism
and with the hope that this
vear might be a little diner
ent from the usual occurences
of past years. As it turns out
the only ditterence is in iecn
nique, not in the intent.
SNAGGERS?
It isn't a simple matter to
claisify all paopla who ak
iiih illegally as greeay. initi
seems to be quit a variaty of
naggers and reasons for thalr
being: The ihow-oH who lines
to brag of his fishing prowess;
the sly character who Minus
he's really getting away with
something In fooling me po
lice! the greedy guy who will
take meat any way he can
get it; fhe profiteer who fig
ures it's an easy way to make
money; and the frustrated
fisherman who ean'i resist
temptation. Of course it must
be admitted that any of the
above described characters
can be motivated for other
reasons; there might even be
a couple who snag because
they have a hungry family.
The trouble is that this is
seldom the case.
WHO'S IT?
During the past week there
have been five people ar
rested by the state police In
connection with eye-witness
reports of snagging in the fish
ladders on Savage Rapids
dam.
WHAT FOR
There is a wall-btaten path
down to the north-side fish
ladder that Indicates heavy
interest In the occupants of
the ladder. The eye-witness
accounts of the snagging ac
livities tell of the openness
. of the snaggeri who operate
in broad daylight. They set
their lookout, quickly snag
several large fish, and are
' gone within a few minutes. A
variety of gaffs and nets are
the tools of this trade, and
all are effective because of

FRIDAY. JUNE t. 1912
at Gun Club Here
The doubles crown will be
determined Saturday after
noon. Firing for the handicap
diadem is set for Sunday
morning.
Also being shot today was
the Medford handicap and a
25-pair of doubles event. The
Jim Morris Memorial handi
cap will be fired Saturday
afternoon.
Shooters are expected from
a number of western states
the easy entry to the ladder.
WHAT TO DO
Whereas most snagging ac
tivitles are carried on by so
called fishermen who use reg
ular fishing gear, this particu
lar type of snagging is con
fined to the fish ladder and
could be controlled more eas
ily because of it. It is esti
mated that It took three offi
cers 50 hours apiece to make
the arrests reported. The lad
der could be fenced and cov
ered for a great deal less than
the cost of maintaining that
kind of protection.
HOW TO
Fishermen who are inter
ested in protecting our migra
tory fish while they are in
the fish ladders might try
writing the Oregon game com
mission and asking whether
or not it would be feasible
to give the fish protection
where ihey need it most. The
officers now trying to main'
tain a watch of the ladder
could be used for ether duties
like getting a few of the
snaggers in the upper river.
THE ANGLER'S LOG
The frustration angle is a
most probable reason for
some of the snagging in the
upper river this season. The
salmon have been most un
cooperative in that there are
more salmon fishermen than
ever before and yet the catch
has been small. The run was
thought to be small, but there
are plenty of fish in the river.
And the "sports" are twins
hard to get their share.
Diamond LlkfWnirin'r 4rt an

chsck of 16 fishermen on one day
tallied 88 fish. A running average
of 2.1 lish per fisherman indicates

THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER
Have you ever asked
nagger why he is snagging?
More often than not he will
answer that he isn't . fishing
illegally. And it may be the
truth that he actually doesn't
know the difference. He
might figure it out If It was
explained io him every lime
he started to snag salmon.
Let's try It.

Golf Paced
By Brewer
Clifton, N.J. -(UPD- Front
runner Gay Brewer Jr. of
Crystal River, Fla., counted
on his hot putter to keep him
rolling today in the second
round of the $100,000 Thun
derbird golf classic.
"If the putter keeps goin',
I will too," said the 30-year
old pro whose six-under-par
33-33-68 Thursday gave him
a one-shot lead over U. S.
Open champion Gene Littler
of Rancho Bernardo, Calif.,
and veteran Earle (Spec) Stew
art of Dallas in the year s rich
est golf tournament. Brewer
had eight one-putt greens and
29 putts in all.
However, there's reason to
believe that putter can cool.
Gay led the Memphis Open
with a first-round 64 Just last
week but wound up in 10th
place when the paychecks
were passed out at the end of
72 holes.
