rie " of % =a = ° AT LEAST two fishermen in Oshawa are interested enough in winter speckled trout fishing to devise a unique method of -- taking these. fish at this time of year. Steve Russell and Karl Epping are probably out in the north country again this weekend trying to add yet another string of the speckled beauties to their creel of last week. But this is getting ahead of the story. Steve Russell is a dyed-in- the-wool trout addict from away back and he had sey- eral trophies to his credit for large trout to prove it. His buddy is an equally credited angler and with the well stocked lakes and creeks that the north country has to offer, it was a simple matter to plan a jaunt last weekend into the Haliburton country. EARLY FRIDAY morning saw these two at South Wil- berforce Lake. After two hours of fruitless angling through the ice they took off for Esson Creek. This was still locked with ice as was McCue Creek and most places in the Burnt River at Gooderham, There was little doing in these waters so they drove. off for Bark Creek at Irondale. This stream was open in spots and gave up a few strikes from what our duo think were brown trout, but nothing reached the fish basket. Furnace Rapids on the Burnt River also brought forth some strikes but no fish. UP TO THIS POINT our anglers had been using spin- cast lures such as the Sonic Bat, Blanchard Halfwave, Gibbs Tempter and the Great Lakes Doctor. Wabbler. They cast these into open stretches of water of the various creeks they tried. Determined to re- turn home with a catch of trout, they took off from the Gooderham country and headed for an unnamed creek which empties into the Gull River just north of Minden. Donning showshoes, they headed downstream for about a mile trying their favorite artificials again. A few strikes indicated the trout were interested but no fish 'were put in the creel. There was only one thing left to try and that was dew worms fresh from the beds of a local bait dealer. TYING ON a No. 8 Kahle Horizontal hook with two buckshot weights about a foot ahead of a wriggly dew worm put them into business, OUTDOORS By Bill Owens Times Outdoor Writer The rest of the technique is really weird for this time of year but is worth the oddity for it paid off handsomely for our two anglers. Casting the worm on to the ice at the bottom end of open patches of creek was no problem at all. The trick was to jerk it off the ice floe at just the right speed to let the worm sink downstream and below the ice took some time to de- velop. However, when this was mastered the first drift under the ice brought forth a wood strike and a_ few moments later a sassy speckled trout was being hauled out of the water and up the snow bank.: Working the open places of the creek back to the highway in this manner was the highlight of the day for Russell and Epp- ing. Eleven trout were creel- ed ranging in size from 12 to 14 inches, proving once again that trout are where you find them and second, any method which catches trout is the right method .. , including a dew worm under the ice in March. A WORD OF CAUTION from the two fishermen how- ever is passed on to those wishing to take off for these parts. Business places are closed in this part of the country from about 9 p.m, till 8 a.m. the next day so that meals and smokes are' hard come by. You can overcome this slight matter by taking © in your own provisions, So pack up the old skidoo and try the time proven dew worm for speckled trout real soon. HERE AND THERE -- Warnings are out from the Department of Lands and Forests to take care when travelling on lake ice from now on... . It is still not too late to get your fishing tackle ready for the coming season. The Min-O-Mate lure and the Johnson 088 reel mentioned in this column last week are available now at Paul's Sporting Goods on Albert Street. . . Commercial fisher- men from Eastern Lake On- tario are reporting smelts moving closer to shore. Ivan Dempster took a nice 17-inch speckled trout from Lost Lake in Haliburton County. His son Michael took second place. with a 12-incher. Adam Lyson and Stan. Perry fishing Timber Lake at Red- bridge took only one lake trout, about four pounds, _ some pretty heavy fish- ng. Yvan .Coumoyer, the specialist of the power play on the Montreal Canadiens Canadiens Yvan Cournoyer 4,5, Croup National Hockey League team, demonstrates his special knack by beating THE TRICK IS TO SCORE! Glenn Hall, the Chicago Black Hawks netminder, Defenceman Doug Jarrett Best On Power-Play Goals | By AL McNEIL | MONTREAL (CP) -- Yvan | Cournoyer, Montreal Cana- | diens' part-time winger, won't threaten Bobby Hull's over-all scoring record but he's hold- ing his own with the great Chicago Black Hawks' left- winger in one department. Although he hasn't seen much ice time on a regular line this season, Cournoyer leads the National Hockey League in power-play goals with 19, one more than Hull. The two are also, incident- ally, their club's top goal scorers but that doesn't form a basis of comparison. Cour- noyer has 24, Hull 52. "I guess I've played less than 20 games on a regular line," Cournoyer says, "but I'm not discouraged by get- ting bumped off a regular spot."" The 23-year-old from sub- urban Lachine, who plays right wing despite his left - hand shot, says he doesn't mind being used almost ex- clusively on the power play Cournoyer, who weighs 167 and stands five - foot - seven, relies on a quick wrist shot and well-oiled reflexes, espe- clally for tipping in deflections "It's a big man's league and on the power play you have to shoot fast around the "as long as the team wins." net before some defenceman knocks you out of there. 1 | practise getting my shot away | quickly and if I have a chance and the right angle I never | hesitate to shoot." PLAYS GOLF An effortless skater with a fine burst of speed, Cournoyer does not smoke and keeps his wrists and legs in condition on the golf course in the sum- mer. Last season he scored 18 goals in 65 games, with 16 of them coming on the power play. In all he had 89 shots on the net for a remarkable 20.2 scoring percentage. What's more, 16 of his goals were of the "important" vari- ety--tying and winning goals and first of the game. Cournoyer was the scourge of Chicago Black Hawks in the 1965 - 66 season, scoring seven against them. This sea- son he's doing it to Toronto Maple Leafs, with 10 power- play goals against them. In contrast, his production against Chicago has dropped to one. "1 don't know why it's this | Gold Seals New Brunswick Rink Wins Seniors' Title By AL McNEIL MONTREAL (CP)--It took a tough playoff round to do it, but " New Brunswick today has its first national men's title. Jim Murphy's rink from the Saint John Thistle Club they captured the national seniors championship and the Seagram stone with a 10-6 win over the Jack Bury rink from Calgary Friday night. Amazingly, Murphy, third Harry Farrell --who called the shots--second Don Beatteay and lead Walter Biddiscombe, have played fewer than 20 games as a unit. "We've only played together for the 11 games of this series, six in the zone and provincial playoffs to get here and two in warm-up games," the amiable Murphy said. Of these games, the new champions lost only two and both were in the third annual edition of the seniors here. MAKES NO EXCUSES "'We were out - curled on both occasions," Murphy said of his losses to Stan Ferry's Montreal West rink and Frank Avery's Vancouver foursome, The losses came in the fifth and eighth rounds by 10-2 and 7-5 margins. curling HOCKEY SCOREBOARD © By THE CANADIAN PRESS American League Lastern Division WLT F APt) Hershey 37 23 10 267 209 84 Baltimore 35 26 10 251 238 80 Quebec 34 29 7 266 242 75 Springfield 31 30 9 258 251 71 Prov'dce 12 45 13 197 320 37 Western Division Murphy said: "This is the first time Saint John and Thistle have ever had a na- tional title and I think it's just tremendous. Nothing more ex- citing could have happened for myself and the other boys." The ship said he came here with hopes of bettering the New Brunswick high of five wins and five losses in 1965. The only other national curl- ing title to find a resting place in New Brunswick was the women's, won at Moncton by Mabel De Ware of that city in 1963. The New Brunswickers com- piled a 9-2 record here. Bury was 8-3, with two of the defeats inflicted by New Brunswick. "We out - curled them at the start tonight,"' Bury said. 'But then they got going and we just couldn't stop them. They came from behind both times they beat us and they're well worth their win." Calgary was ahead 6-3 as late as the sixth end before Murphy registered four in the seventh, one in the eighth and two in the ninth. Murphy had previ- ously beaten Bury in the second round by a 9-8, extra-end score. New Brunswick scored three tn the 10th end of Friday after- noon's final round to edge the Alex Lawrence rink from Win- nipeg 6-5. This, coupled with Northern Ontario's 10-7 win over Alberta, left the two finalists tied with 8-2 records.
