Re&l Needs
re is no fair-minde^ sports-
surely, who would question
motives or sincerity of the var-
state game and fish divisions
>ughout the country, but in our
particular case we have no-
d a growing tendency on the
of such organizations to be
>ver rushing to state legislatures
ith the cry: “Give us a law!”
ill, laws are necessary for game
fish conservation, but recourse
law, sometimes, instead of to
msense, may defeat the very
ig that is sought. In that con-
ion, here are some rules which
Id govern or come before the
|iaws regulating fishing:
Laws and regulations for fish
must be useful; not burdensome.
What one sees with his eyes in
• pond, lake or stream is not what
actually exists. The lake an angler
thought was productive was proved
to be the opposite. In like manner,
they learned that the poor angling
they experiencd might not be be
cause of unproductive fish, but fish
ing at the wrong time of year!
It takes money to do a Job. To
create more fishing, such as de
veloping new impoundments, costs
money. But it is worth it. Budgets
which favored law enforcement di
visions were adjusted to favor the
tiny budgets of fish divisions. Many
state administrators lost out to
men who saw the needs of manage
ment workers.'
There are more anglers “bom”
each day. It is a big job to meet
the demands. Old methods have to
be modified or tossed out the win
dow. Providing more and better
angling does not come from guard
ing a fish in a stream, but from
managing that fish so it can be
most productive to the angler. '

Angler's Prayer
Dtar Lord, when Gabriel blows
bis blast
And I come home to rest at last,
Don?t measure me for harp and
wings;
Let me have, instead, these things’.
Some tackle, and a rod and reel,
A pair of waders and a creel,
A gushing, frothy glacier stream,
A placid lake by which to dream.
An angel pal with whom to angle.
Magic lines that will not tangle;
And permission, Lord, with fingers
crossed,
To lie about the fish l lost!
AAA
Balanced Outfits
While this may appear as rankest
heresy among many oldtimer an
glers, it is now a recognized fact
that there is no such thing as a
"balanced” fly-casting outfit: that
is, perfect balancing of the equip
ment at the time of purchase.
Many elements enter into the
reasons why this is the case. In the
first place, experimentation and
experience have proved that - the
old formula, the reel weighing so
much more than the rod, is just so
much hokum. The purveyors of
that Idea forgot to take into ac
count the weight ahead of the rod
when the caster has out 35 or more
feet of l‘ne. This weight, as anyone
who has experienced it can tell,
means a whale of a difference if
the rod-user has bought a line too
heavy for his rod.
As a rule, this hit-and-miss meth
od of choosing a *'balanced” outfit
isn't necessary these days as a
majority of rod-makers imprint on
the rod the sizes of level or tapered
lines which should be used on it.
However, this doesn’t completely
take all the headache out of the
outfit-balancing procedure.. For in
stance, not all fly lines are standard
and, for another thing, nylon lines
are one weight lighter than silk
lines of the same letter designation.
For l stance: A D-level nylon line
is only as heavy as an E-Level silk
line. And so it goes.
Just the same, the angler know
ing the difference in the weights
of nylon and silk lines, and who
wishes to rely on the rod-maker's
direction for the line-size to choose,
will get a fairly well-balanced out
fit the first time. That is, if he for
gets about the weight of the reel
and remembers only that its chief
function is that of a repository for
the line. This is not to say, of
course, that a fly-rod man can’t
overload himself in the matter of
heavy, cumbersome fly reels, par
ticularly in the automatic category.
But, with commonsense as his
guide, and his own “feel” for the
fishing instrument in his hand, he
ought to be able to put together an
outfit that is easy and a pleasure to
use and which will, at the same
time, enable him to get the most
from his fishing.
Did You Know?
That fish are comparatively short
lived?
Most fresh-water fish seldom live
more than 10 years, excepting the
sturgeon which is believed to ma
ture at 20 or more years of age and
may live 100 years or longer.
That the major part of the an
imal crop of panflsh dies without
ever being caught by fishermen?
Studies have revealed that less
than 10 per cent of the annual crop
at panfish was taken by fishing.

Smart Quarterback
Dennis: I’ll never forget our big
game. I was the quarterback. There
was just a few seconds to play. The
score was tied. We had the ball on
their one yard line, first down . . .
so I called for the water boy.
Benny: What?
Dennis: While everybody else was
drinking, I ran for a touchdown.
Almost Proud
Judge: “Aren’t you ashamed to
be seen here in court so often?”
Prisoner: “Why no, your honor,
I always thought it was a very re
spectable place.”
FISH FABLE
“Speaking about showers of fish,”
said the solemn looking man from
his seat on a cracker box in the
general store, “reminds me of the
time we were marooned on an is
land in the blue Pacific. For two
hours there was a shower of fresh
mackerel and, strange to say, they
all dropped into a salt lake on the
mountainside. That brined them.”
“Whew!” the old codgers cho
rused in unison.
“But that’s not the strangest part
of the story. Ten days later a cy
clone came along, picked up the
brined mackerel and dropped them
into a hot spring. That boiled them;
and, gentlemen, they were the finest
boiled mackerel you ever tasted. I
thought about sending some home
to the folks, but—-”
There was a sudden interruption
and six strong men took the story
teller outside and ducked him in
the horse trough.

Help Tourself
The bulky Dr. Charles Hill, gen
eral secretary of the British Medi
cal Association, was interrupted
during a recent speech by a heckler
who asked about the low birth rate
under Conservative governments.
“If you’re so interested in tho
birth rate,” snapped the doctor,
“why don’t you spend more time at
heme instead of going to political
meetings?”
SIGHT, ALONE
A buxom negro woman came into
the room where a group of women
were conducting a rummage sale.
Her black eyes roved around until
they focused on a table of shoes.
With a cry of delight she swooped
down upon a pair of red satin slip
pers size three double A. Holding
the pair upon one palm, she in
quired, “How much is these love-
e-ly red slippahs?”
“For you?” inquired the sales
woman.
“Yaas, ma’am.”
“Why they are much too small
for you, and, besides, one of them
needs to have the heel repaired.’’
“That doan’ matter,” responded
the negro woman. “Jes’ think how
fine they will look sticking out un
der the aidge of mah bed!”
Extraction
Frowzy woman handing coffee to
dour husband hidden behind his
newspaper: “Of course I know you
don’t use sugar. I just wanted to

VOICE FROM BRITAIN
The temperance lecturer asked
his audience: “Now, supposing f
had a pail of water and a pail of
beer on this platform, and then
brought on a donkey: which of
the two would he take?”
“He’d take the water,” came
a voice from the gallery.
“And why would be take the
water?” asked, the lecturer.
“Because he’e an ass,**
the reply.

Gentlemen:
In regard to the Nisbet Bug Catcher you sold me, I would llko to say
that with a small test plot of cotton, I used the bug catcher alone On on*
acreage, and nothing on another acreage. With this simple test I doubled
the yield on the acreage I used the Bug Catcher on. I bavo used insecticide
on several different occasions and the Bug Catcher has boon far more
effective.
I am planning on using it on my grain sorghum crop this fall.
