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.

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.

In Peace Corps
PORTLAND (UPli Two Ore
gon women are among 36 volun-1
leers who have been accepted for
Turkish Peace Corps training at
Portland Stale College this sum-j
mer.
Miss Ann T. Weick, Portland,
and Miss Maranee C. Jones, Tal
ent, were chosen.
Project director Dr. John Dart
said the other 34 volunteers are
sentenced to die in the Nevada
gas chamber for the fatal shoot
ing of a 23-ycar-old Oregon man
last August in Reno
A three Judge panel deliberated
three hours before bringing in the
verdict against the 19 - year old
itinerant ranch hand
Morford showed no emotion as
Dist. Judge John Barrett read the
sentence and set the execution
date for the week of Sept, 23 at
the state prison in Carson City.
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. Morford was cap
lured a short time later about 40'
miles east of Carson Cily
gas station.
The defense had based its case
on the fact that Morford was un
der the effects of glue sniffing!
and one psychiatrist testified the
wrong at the time of the crime.
However, the prosecution repre
sented by Dist. Atty. William Rag-
gio presented testimony from an
other psychiatrist who said Mor
ford was fully aware of the chain
of events.
Morford did not testify during
the five day old trial.
It was the .second death penalty
handed out this month in Reno
Previously Thomas Lee Bean, 18,
was sentenced to die in the Ne
vada gas chamber for the torso
slaying of British ski star Sona
McCaskie. Bean will be formally
sentenced next Monday.
