BASS SEASON OPENS
Local fishermen are having a small
share of luck since the season open
ed on June 16th. Plug casting and
fly fishing has produced some fish
and several nice bass have been
snagged in local waters.
George McCune landed a 14 inch
bass in the Water Works quarry
several evenings ago. Fishing is
much improved at this body of water
and a good many blue gills larger
than a man’s hand have been taken
from the quarry.
“Doc” Rickly probably holds the
record since the season opened for
We've heard
he has to his credit 4 bass taken in
one day’s fishing at the Buckeye.
Carl Mum ma spends a good deal of
time blue gill fishing at the quarry
and very few evenings have slipped
by without Carl plying his skill near
the pump hole—and he gets several
nice ones each time he frequents the
Buckeye.
Alvin Augsburger of Ada hooked
a nice 14 inch bass on a Jitterbug
near the swimming float over the
weekend and Donald Rupright of
Ney snagged one also, Don says his
fish was a “keeper”, but not worth
bragging over. Jess Manges has had
some luck and has taken a few bass
home with him since the season
came in.
Don Forche from Beaverdam (the
guy who walked off with the war
bond and Aldine’s $5.00 prize in the
fishing contest) came over to show
us how easy it was to catch fish and
give us a few lessons. You guessed
it folks, this time he went home
empty handed. The fish are wising
up to those Beaverdam tactics.
As a whole fishing is slow, Byron
Stratton will vouch for this state
ment—he has a sore right arm from
plug casting this week—he says he
is ready to light out for New York
