Ever try Frankly, the grass is greener1 HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Kails, Oregon Sunday, July 31. 13 PACE 7-A 1. 4 t THEY'RE BIG ON THE UPPER LAKE This California angler, who knows where the fishing's good, came all the way from Travis Air Force Base to fish for the rainbows on Upper Klamath Lake off Rocky Point. The bonus fish on the right is a 2 lb. brown. The nice 3 lb. rainbow on the left is more typical. The big fish are beginning to move into the bay now that the waters in the main lake are warming up. Troll slowly for the rainbows with flashers and nightcrawlers or thin wobble spoons. i s in our vard than it is next door Take Upper Klamath Lake for instance. The fish being caught there in the last few weeks have been ranging up to 16 pounds with eight, 12 and 14 pounders also being reported. Agency Lake is full of the big ones too as the lunkers are starting to leave the warmer waters for the rivers and spring fed portions of Agency and Upper Klamath. One of the hotspors is Pelican Bay on Upper Klamath off Rocky Point where Crystal Creek pours coolness in. The resort owners claim the best fishing is yet to come. More and more big fish will start concentrating in the bay as the weather gets warmer. This writer tried the bay twice, for a couple of hours on each oc casion, but the waters are still unfamiliar and only two rain bows, one 16-incher, were logged. One of the days I was out was especially lucky for one angler who boated a glistening cight pounder. The water in the bay is prob ably 15 to 20 feet deep in most places and little or no weight is needed to get flashers and night crawlers down near the bottom. You'll get some chubs while fishing with worms, however, and if you want to stay clear of the trash fish switch to a thin wobbling spoon instead. I have an idea spoons will take more of the bigger fish too. If you'd prefer taking a string er of smaller fish, brooks,, rain bow and kokanee, try Fourmile Lake, Fish Lake or Lake of the Woods. You can cither troll on these lakes or still fish with sin gle salmon eggs. And how about our local riv- ers . . . they re some of the best in the country. Why head up to the Deschutes or Metolius when we have the Williamson, Wood and Spring Creek Inot to mention the Klamath River in season? Our local fly tying celebrity, Polly Rosborough, says the Wil liamson River is one of the top in the country for big rainbow. Fish over 10 pounds are taken there each year, and it's a fly fisherman's dream. The Wood holds tackle busline browns, all natives, and it's all good fly water. In the early morning or late evening when me Big Drowns are tip on top you can see them making heavy1 wanes as tney take dries, or fins swirling out as they boil for nymphs. A flawless presentation is necessary to fool the ones over la inches. ... ... our big lakes. If you're over on the west side of Klamath there1 are boat landings at Odessa Creek, Harrimans Lodge and Rocky Point Kesort, and resort owners are always ready to give you hour to hour reports on PELICAN BAY REPLETE WITH BIRDS Two healthy residents of Pelican Bay on Upper Klamath Lake cruise behind boats trolling for rainbows waiting for some un lucky fisherman to catch a chub and toss It away in disgust. The chubs are far from disgusting to the pelicans, but rather tender table fare. The bay is teeming with rainbow and the area is scenic with Mt. Pitt and Pelican Butte rising in the back ground. It's only a short hop from Klamath Falls too. Rocky Reach Dam Dedicated !; (Community. j ; (Calendar ;l Facilities are plentiful around where they're biting each day. On Agency there's the Neptune Beach landing and if you pre fer to troll the Williamson below U.S. 97 rent a boat at the William son River store. The big fish are HERE ... so why go far afield. I V ;M :' V lit ,X fvW mm FOURMILE DEPTHS YIELD VARIETY A stringer of rainbow, brookies and kokanee are displayed by a lucky angler at deep, cold Fourmile Lake. Fishing at the lake can be spotty but Tex Rush at the boat landing can show you where to get 'em. And when they're biting . . . Wow! Fishing single salmon eggs or trolling, you never know what you'll get, trout or kokanee, but whatever the catch out of Fourmile, the eating is unsurpassed.

After the verdict was pronounced, Morford talked briefly with his parents, who live in Santa Rosa, Calif., and then lighted a cigarette as he walked out of the Washoe County District courtroom. The three judges deliberated three hours before reaching a deci sion. Morford had confessed the crime and it was the judges' duty to set the degree of guilt and fix the punishment. Judge Barrett said the unani mous decision was reached alter 'total consideration of all evi dence." Defense counsel Stanley Brown said he "had nothing to say at this time." Morford admitted he fatally shot Jack Foster. 23, Mcdford. Ore., after he kidnaped Foster and his wife of two days rom a Reno motel Aug. 22. He forced the couple to drive around Lake Ta hoc, then shot Foster and raped his widow twice before she was able to escape.
