It's The Latest Design What he learns at an early age will stay with him and as a result, he will be a better and more experienced boatman when he grows up. One of a boy's biggest thrills is the first time he and dad camp' out overnight, Early morning fishing is often the most productive and this is an excellent way to be sure both will be up and wetting their lines shortly after the crack of dawn.

In the quiet solitude that only this kind of environment can offer, @ boy is more inclined to talk freely and to ask the many man-to-man questions he finds so perplexing at that age. The answers he gets will stay with him for life. Going fishing with dad teaches a boy about sports- manship. Seeing his father re-. lease handsome, but under- sized or out-of-season. game fish is a lesson in itself, espe- cially when accompanied by an explanation.
