PAGE SIXTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1950 ONSERVATION ORNER . --for Outdoor Sportsmen " SPECKLED TROUT OUT IN FRONT Toronto -- Salvelinus fontinalis, "one of the world's most prized 'freshwater fish, won the opening round of the 1950 fishing season in {! Ontario. With an assist from the © weatherman, the speckled trout generally came through the most ""intensive fishing week-end of the year with rc'itively minor losses. Ordinarily the season opens May 1st. This ye r, in ordeér to give fish- erman 'an opening week-end, it opened April 20th, Officials of the Fish and Wild- life Division of the Department re- port all lakes north of Barrie were either locked tight in an icy grip or still had large ice fields drifting |carg hither and yon. In southern On- 0, streams were open but the fismM\were still down deep in lakes, altholgh some reasonably good catches were reported. Here is what a flying survey, carried out by department officials, showed. On opening day, Saturday, the pilot of a Beaver aircraft em- ployed in preliminary fire patrols reported that he first struck solid ice at Miner's Bay in lower Hali- burton. He swung west to Parry Sound and found every lake on the route frozen. The east shore of Georgian Bay was ice free--but there aren't many trout streams or lakes in that area. The north chan- nel of Lake Huron was solid ice from Killarney to Sault Ste. Marle, Even the commercial fishermen in this area are suffering from too much ice, for their boats are still pulled upon shore and the nets are, as yet, still reeled. Many fishermen, tried the St. Mary's River over the opening day but, so far as could be learned, only one showed a "real" fish, landing a 4-% pounder from the rapids which frequently produce Neorth America's largest rainbow trout. North of the Sault, where the rug- ged Algoma hills and foaming streams usually produce speckled trout in quantity, only one tourist fishing party went north to Pangis, ip the Spruce Lake area. There was 'stil snow in the bush and plenty of ice on lake and stream, coupled with. -unseasonably low temper- RULE By ALEX J.

Immediately following this he won a couple of tournaments, including the British Amateur. "Then I was keeping my head. steady long after impact, watching the divot taken by my club, and I played my best golf," Stranahan said. When I asked him why he didn't keep on doing these little things he told me, "Some of the boys ridiculed me for doing them and then I had the feeling that keeping my head back blocked my downswing and follow-through." Right here you have every golf- er's problem, whichis to know whéther ' performances are being governed by imagination or facts. Whenever any golfer does the correct thing for the first time one of his reactions is: "That feels strange, so. it probably makes me appear awkward to other people."

AIRCRAFT GIVEN AREAS Toronto -- Allocation of aircraft, YOUR GAME 1A that will patrol the skies over On- tario's vast forest areas on fire de- tection and other operations this season, was made public by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests today. A complement of pilots and en- will' man the 33 aircraft that will operate from air bases throughout the Province from To- ronto in the south to Pickle Lake in the north. Of the aircraft 22 will be Beavers famous for their ability to land and take off from small bodies of water and the remainder are Norse man planes which have a greater load-lifting capacity. Largest single grouping of planes and pilots . will be at the Sioux Lookout base where two Beaver and two Norseman craft will operate over the large stretches of wilder- ness where other qmeans of trans- porting fire fighting crews and equipment are practically non-ex- istent, or impractical due to great distance between bases.

NEW LICENSE, BOOKLET FORM Toronto -- A new type non-resi- dent angling license has been intro- duced by the Department of Lands and Forests; which 'makes the licence less cumbersome, but more expensive to produce. The new licence is .in booklet form to conform with many re- quests to provide more information on the licence and to include sep- arate coupons®for each species of fish, In the interests of conservation the export limit under the family licence has been reduced from two days' legal catch to one day's legal catch of each species of fish for one person. In other words, the ex- port limits under the individual and family licences are now the same.
