Hamilton, Assistant Vice President of Na- tional Trust, previously played the Midland course in the spring but found it tougher this time around. The course was tightened up to demand accuracy, and force the golfers to shoot absolutely straight. Hamilton felt that once on the greens the work starts. Hamilton stated that the "putt on greens was true, but tricky"'. Hamilton took a three stroke lead into the final round but watched it slowly trickle away to a one stroke victory. 'The good Lord was looking after me," offered Hamilton. After receiving the cup, Hamilton address- ed the large gallery on the lawn outside the clubhouse. Heaping praise on the course, Hamilton mentioned that it is a "fantastic golf course, enjoyable to play, but challenging and pretty." G.

Six fishermen from the King City area found out just what it cost to have over a legal limit of fish. These boys weren't happy with one or two fish, they went all the way. A tip from a private citizen put MNR in Lindsay into action. An investigation of six fishermen on the Otonabee River near Peter- borough, netted $10,000 in fines. A search of a motorhome turned up 161 pickerel, 125 over their legal limit. We've all heard of hiding money under our mattresses but in- vestigating officer found frozen pickerel fillets instead. Five men were fined $1,500 each and the six, $-2,500. The magistrate also put their fishing equipment in cold storage. Along with their fines came a two year probation period during which time they are not allowed to fish anywhere in Ontario. Fishing can be ex- pensive, in more ways than one. For those who bend a rod or two on Georgian Bay keep in mind the Molson Big Fish Contest is underway. The contest started on April 15th and ends on November 30th. There's cash to be had as well as rods, reels and outboard motors.

The cup at the top of the picked up at most sportshops. The Toronto Star's Great Salmon hunt is underway. Last weekend's start put fishermen on the lake hoping to finish number one and pick up $100,000 in prizes. Good lake trout, rainbow and brown trout are being taken from Lake Ontario. Lake trout are not eligible for the Salmon Hunt but all other species are welcomed at the weigh-in stations. Who'd ever thought fishermen would travel to Toronto to catch fish but, bass fishing is picking up. Many fishermen report smallmouth are beginning to put on the feed bag. Live bait is rated best. More on the hotspots later. John Power rated the weekend as slow but isn't worried. Things will pick up, and this year may be the year of the 50 pounder. Every fisherman on thelake knows it's there, but so far, no one has been successful in boating this monster. Past stockings should have a lake full of fish in the swim. Maturing chinook salmon should be ready for their spawning run this fall. Fish will stage off the Credit and Bronte Rivers, as well as other rivers and streams flowing into Lake Ontario. table was presented to the winner, Stt Hamilton of Brampton along with the threr clubs in front.
