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.

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

to be the best bait.
Willow Lake Fishing is picking
up. 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!
