FRIDAY, JULY 15,1938 VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON More Sports I H topnotchers '///r/k >■ •» NEHALEM PIONEERS At the Churches . . SAYS THE TROUT ARE EDUCATED; NO BITES ON HOLIDAYS The Eagle Vernojiia, Oregon Dear Sirs: Have just read your article in current issue of the Eagle. In view of the fact that you are 200 miles from the writer you feel pretty safe in taking a sling at the McKenzie river trout. You state the trout in this river don’t know how to bite—you are in error to the fact that these McKenzie river trout know when to bite. These trout are educated. They absolutely refuse to smack a fly on July 3 and 4, and seldom on Sun­ days. They also know the road is paved and river well supplied with telephones and OCC camp grounds. Our proof of this accounts for the Ham-An’ for dinner for the gang. When Les, Red and Ross learn to live right and learn to catch ’em in Rock creek, tell them to come up on the McKenzie again and the big ones will call their bluff. Bring Seth Sedgley from Scho­ field and we’ll go so far as to leave out tKe ham and chickens. Well', sometimes, according to Fri­ day Fishing Bulletin, our Deschutes, McKenzie and Rock creeks are full of big ones “until you get there.” Anyhow it’s fun to “try and get ’em,” when you can get ’em oc­ casionally. Yours for more steelhead, C. S. Hoffman DUNCAN REALLY GETS TROUT; EAGLE IS TERRIBLY MISLED Les Skuzie and Red Ranes, fearful lest they be chided for their lack of trout on a recent trip to the McKenzie as guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Hoffman, told The Eagle that Ross Dun­ can, in the same party, failed to click . . . saying that he got two in the nearly three days of vacationing. Ross, so the truth of the story tells this week, caught many trout, bringing home seven or eight of more than one-pound in size, ' as well as catching enough, with some help, to feed the en­ tire 14 one meal. It was Red and Les, ordinarily truthful in business dealing, who told the white lies concerning their angling partner. And Mrs. Duncan caught some, too.
