MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON t'HIUAl, AUUUbT 10, I3bi r ; 'I .J . c ;'.f . 1 If .,.1 i !:,,' V. t f - 47-POUNDER Mr. and Mrs. Earl King, Ashland, are shown with the 47-pound halibut caught by ivlrs. King last week end off the southern Curry county coast. Big Halibut Caught by Ash lander Brookings - A 47-pound halibut, one of the largest ever caught in the vicinity, was boated by Mrs. Earl King, 235 East Hersey st., Ashland, last Saturday. The big fish was hooked Just off St. George reef about 14 miles off the southern Curry county coast from the charter boat, Lorayne. Both the Pacific und California halibut run off the coast of Oregon. Mrs. King's fish was the Pacific type. Mr. and Mrs. King limited out in salmon and bottom fish on Saturday morning and Mrs. King got the big fish in the afternoon. Leo Shurtlcff of Leo's Sporthaven marina reported Chetco river fishing to have fallen off this week. He said, however, that fishing offshore remains excellent. Boats Limii Two charier boats were re ported limiting out early in the week. Both silver and Chinook salmon were being taken. Halibut rated high in the catches and were being taken three to five miles out from the mouth of the Chetco. Catches just offshore near the whistler buoy were said to be good and included sil vers and Chinook. Experienced fishermen ex pressed the thought that a school of sharks just off the mouth of the river probably caused the slacking off of the excellent fishing reported last week. One grey shark was hooked by Tom Gardner of the Miss Marilyn Sue on Saturday. The 77-inch shark has been displayed at Sport haven. Chinook angling has been very good in the Chetco this year, according to a report from Ruth Brewer. Many sal mon caught have weighed be tween 25 and 33 pounds. Other occasional catches range up to 40 pounds. A 48 pounder was brought into Sporthaven recently. Palmer Heads All-American Akron. Ohio IUPH Arnold Palmer, thanks to a hot put ter, was off and running today in his drive to break his all time money winning record, with a two-stroke lead in the S30.000 American Golf Clas tic. His first-round three-under-par 67 gave him a two-shot ad vantage over George Bayer, Jim Ferrier and. Mike Sou chak and put him in a good position to pick up enough prize money to exceed the $72,262 85 he won in 1960. PHILLEY RELEASED Boston -flW- Dave Philley, at 42 one of the American league's oldest active players, was looking for a job today after the Boston Red Sox handed him his unconditional release. The veteran outfield er, holder of two major league pinch-hitting records, had managed to compile only a lackluster .143 batting av erage in 42 times at the plate during his brief career with the Red Sox. Boston asked waivers on him to make room for pitcher Iwe Dclock, who was on the disabled list. SHARE LEAD Kansas City. Mo. - il'PI', Mickey Wright and Jackie Pung. a couple of golfing vet erans, today led 30 other pro fessional women golfers in'o second round action in the 72 holc Women's Kansas City Open.

Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVosi The present rainy weather will be a blessing for those steelhead fishermen who have been waiting out the summer doldrums. There is a good chance that it will be just enough to start me early fall runs that usually are due in the next couple of weeks. Even if it doesn't bring the fish it ought to remind us to get ready for them. WHERE DID THEY GO? Tht itotlhead hat always been somewhat of a mystery fish in that there it little evi dence of its mtyration route after it reaches the ocean. At this point in life the small steelhead is about two years old and measures five to eight inches in length. The amount of time it takes to reach sex ual maturity varies somewhat, but after two yean in the ocean the steelhead returns to its parent stream to (pawn for the first lime. Many fisher men have no answer to the question of the whereabout of the steelhead during this pe riod. GO WEST FISHEMAN An answer to this question was found by fisheries re search ships in the western Pacific. Concern over the Jap anese salmon fishery sparked the investigation during the years loo to laov. rne re search ships drifted giant gill nets in an attempt to find what stocks of salmon were being tapped by the Japanese. They found very few silvers or chinooks beyond the edge of the continental shelf, but did find humpback, chum, and sockeye salmon, and steel head. The salmon and steelhead that were netted were found west of Vancouver island and the Queen Charlottes to the Aleutian deep south of Kiska in the outher Aleutian islands. The southernmost range of the salmon and steelhead was that point where the water tem perature was more than 59 degrees. At this point the nets came up with albacore instead of salmon. IS IT A RED SALMON? The Japanese reported steelhead as far west as 150 miles from Russian teeritory on the Kuriles. The difficulty with this evidence is that there are steelhead runs in streams of the Asiatic coast and it would, be open to argu ment as to whether the fish were American, Canadian, or Russian. AN ANSWER The evidence also has its limitations in that the steel head taken by the nets were incidental and not taken from schools as were the salmon. Steelhead have never been an incidental part of the catch by offshore trailers, so at least we have some knowl edge of where some steelhead go when they go. Maybe they do not school in the ocean, and maybe they school and we still don't know where they go to school. The Pacific pro vides plenty of room for an answer. THE ANGLER'S LOG Another plus value from this rain is that the down stream migrating spring Chi nook that were having so much trouble with low, warm water should be having a cool time of it by now. It isn't often that they have any help at all until sometime in Sep tember after the damage has been quite extensive. Maybe we will find out in 1965 when they return as four-year-olds. Between dry summers and over - diversion by farmer types, what little water left in the Rogue hasn't been the best kind of environment for a young, inexperienced, mi grating salmon. Diamond Lake John Koch, who is manager of the lodge, says the fishing at Diamond is GOOD, and this is the first time he's said it this year. There are quite a few limits being taken with many of the fish weighing over 4'j pounds. Flies are going quite well; the trimmed spruce and wiilydilly are the favorites. The south end has been tne best producer, but more fish are being taken in the deeper water. Fish Lake Is very good. Best fishing ever last week. Rainbow and brook trout are coming in all size.. Flies, either trolled or cast, are taking more and more fish. The road has been poor but cin ders are being spread to improve it Howard Prairie The rain hue brought the fish up into the shal lows again. Flyflshermen are hav ing a ball. Almost all the fish are over the 12 inch size. Ilyatl Lake la fair. The road Is in poor shape right now and get ting to the lake is difficult. Over 60 per cent of the fish are being caught by sttllfishlng veiveeta cheese. The rain has scattered the fish, and they are being caught ail over the lake. Klamath Lake There are plenty of catfish and perch for the ktds and the young at hrsrt Garden hackle is the best ban The trout are waiting for someone to fish for them Lake of the Woods Has been excellent. Many big fish are biting, and they might be rainbow, brook, or kokanec. Veiveeta cheese seems Industrial and Farm Equipment SPECIAL THIS WEEK 14 USED TRACTORS. Differ. n Makes Bargains.

Rainbow and kokanee are fighting over the offerings. And it's the same old story veiveeta is cleaning up. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER From a fisherman's point of view there aren't enough nice things happening to fish lately. Maybe that's why this rain seems to be just the ticket. It ought to put them in such good shape that they will be able to increase their strength and give us a good fight. GOOD LUCK!
