TZQUTbbbnsq ay wannasatin Red Letter day for all angler will be with us in fivedayanlt is the opening of the Speckledfhout season To one who has fished Speckled or Brook Trout it is no mystery why they are considered the ulti mate In game fish They are beautifully markedfish They have no scales their flesh is the os palatableof all local game ish They are wily quarry to stalk They put up real battleneed say more Special Streams Everyone in this area and most areas where there are speckle to be caught have their special stream where they head on open ing day To many anglers this is one of the most jealouslyguarded secrets of their life The way they are being pursued and overfished fone does not wonder at an angler guarding the location of his pet spot can think back not too many years when didnot have to tra vclmore than fifty yards to catch my quota of speckles Thanks to pollution the growth of the Town the removal of natural coverLand many more manmade factors there are very few streams in this area where the average YOUN fisherman can try his luck at catch ing some of these beauties Urge Measures Every year the number of streams which are suitable to specklcs drops at an alarming rate Hurricane Hazel did not help the cause To ailwho find time to read this column strongly urge the following measures Do everything in your power to make sure that oil of the water ways in this area are presérved that no trees are cut down that can possibly be saved that we pre serve as many natural woodlots as possible At the rate we are progressing progressing spelléd with large there will be no natural cover for birds and wildlife withlnthe Town limits in very few years Once we have uprooted trees that took twenty to fifty years to grow covered over with culverts and denuded the banks of all of the springfed creeks which flow through Town into the Bay we are hooked we cannot replace them in our lifetime and you fannot compete with nature if you ry no of the greatest sanctuaries for birds in the whale Town was the area bounded by lower John Strch Bradford Street and thc sewage disposal area This area was denuded of trees and set aside as park It is fine park Everyone figures it is not worth spending any money on fora ball diamond or playing field So it sits and sits as monument to longrange planning We are so short of playing fields thatono has to get his bid in year in advance to be assured of having ball diamond to run schedule for the season Ev this much notice your chances are slim We slashed the trees out of Itog crs Park and still it sits idle We drove the wildlife out of this area and now we wonder what we should do with it How there is talk of purchasing property to the North East of Town which can be made into lakeside picnic and swimming site If we buy it by all means we had better sash all of the trees down and tear it allup because We ein make finer looking park than motheizvnature can Lets havetwo Itogers Parks while we are at it Ray of Hope 0ne ray of hope to all lovers of nature is the proposed rebuild ng of Dyinents Ponda project sparked by thc local Conservation Club and being given financial as sistance and the backing of the Kinsmens Club There is group called the Fish and Stream Improvement Committee of the local Conserva tion Club who is actively doing something about preserving and building of streams and wood

Right Around am The Perchjnd Smelt are still running andjs well the Suckers or fhtullets In trying to catch some of these coarser fish many people are also catching game fish whichare not in season Weare glad to see thatthe number of people who are becoming conscr vatlonminded is gradually grow ing Most of the game fish which are being caught are being rclcas ed There are still some unthink ing or irresponsible fishvhogs who are keeping these game fish when willrsorne people realize that most game fishre spawning and for every one that is kept now thousands of unborn fish are being wasted Whilewe were down atalocal docthe other night we saw YOUNG local lad catch lovely Northern Pike which would tip the scales at 910 pounds What did he do He let it go Another man standing nearby remarked that man had kept an eleven poundcr earlier in the day We are cer tainly glad that we were not pres ent because the water is mighty cold for swimming The young lad might not get it chance at Pike that big again for years but he knew enough to let Itgobecause the season does not open for 20 days yet and that twenty days canmean that lot of young fish could be spawned that otherwise would have never seen the light of day gt If the fellow whokcpt the Pike is hard up and cannot afford meal will gladly give him buck If however bcthinkshc is smart he is only fooling himself and would probably be the first one to kick ifthcrc were no fish at all in another 10 yearsor so We try to get out as often as possible to see who is catching fish So how about telling us about some of your catches so we can let people know what is being caught The time the next column goes to press will be just before the first of May so wehopc to get special column in covering the opening weekend So
