Sports Afield
(By TED KESTING)
Did you realize that there probably are a dozen good float-fish
ing streams within easy driving range of your home ? Some of these
have never been floated, and most of them have never seen fisher
men, except for brief stretches that are accessible by road.
Catching fish when others go without, exploring new waters and
savoring the fun of camping out are some of the rewards of float
fishing on your own. Many sportsmen pay up to $50 a day for the
privilege of float fishing. With proper equipment and a little know
how, you can do it for nothing.
Successful float fishing is dependent on proper equipment. In
the boat line, the wooden John boat of the Ozarks and the high-—
—bowed float boat of the Pacific Northwest are ideal. However,
they’re not the boats for exploring and fishing a variety of
streams. Both are too heavy—and light weight is a prerequisite.
Probably the best material for the back-yard float-trip boats is
Aluminum. It’s tough, light and reasonably inexpensive. Portability
is the main prerequisite for a float-trip motor too. For average use,
and depending on the boat, a motor in the 5% to IV2 hp category is
preferred. Such a motor should be designed for power, not speed. Pay
particular attention to the lower unit and the propeller. Look for a
sturdy lower unit that can take a beating, and a low-pitch prop that
develops power at low rpm.
For transporting float-trip gear you may use an auto-top carrier;
but if the boat weighs much over 100 pounds, a trailer will make
loading and unloading easier.
Float fishing and stream navigation calls for some know
ledge of streams. This ability to “read the river” will come with
experience but there are a few basic rules. These are outlined
in an article by Buck Rogers that appears in the April issue of
Sports Afield.
Float fishing is the solution for those who don’t have the time
and the money to find wilderness fishing hundreds of miles from
liome. Even on streams near metropolitan areas there are some bends
and holes that have somehow eluded roads and the resulting fishing
pressure. Float fishing is a means to “get away” without going very
far to do it. And it’s a fishing-finding process without equal.

OSTRICH PLUME HAT
* By Richard Heard
€t/^UP of coffee?” Sally asked
^ as Guy walked into the
small, empty cafe. He nodded, and
she poured the hot, black liquid
from the shiny, metal pot. She
placed the cup on the counter as
he sat down.
“What are you doing here alone
tonight?” she asked. ”1 thought
you’d be out with Meg. What’s
the matter,” she added teasingly,
“things not going so good with you
two?”
Guy didn’t want to tell her . . .
to let her know that Meg had eloped
with another fellow—a man that
he didn’t even know. But he had to.
She was sure to find out the next
day anyway. It would be all over
town by then. So he told her, and
she listened sympathetically.
Sally did her best to get his
mind off the subject. She jested
with him about the new hat that
Mrs. Van de Loon had bought
and brought in to show her. Sally
was popular around the small,
quiet town. People liked her be
cause she was understanding. They
came in and sat for hours over
a couple of cups of coffee, talking
to Sally, the waitress.
“And right there in the middle
of it . . . right in the middle of the
bright orange felt,” she explained,
“sits a great big, blue ostrich
plume.” She made gestures to
show him how it looked.
Guy laughed at that *T can just
imagine what she’ll look like walk
ing into church Sunday.” They
talked for thirty minutes on noth
ing more than hats.
Gradually, he forgot all about
Meg. He forgot that a girl by the
name of Meg ever existed. The
girl that he thought he loved lost
some of her importance. It was
good, being with Sally. She was
so real, so warmly human. “When
do you get off work tonight?”
“Same time. Eleven o’clock.
Always the same,” she answered.
“How about a drive, and then
I’ll take you home?” he asked.
“Sounds fine,” Sally replied.
‘T’d like to go for a ride tonight.
Weather’s perfect for it”
After Sally closed the cafe, Guy
put the top of his convertible
down, and they drove for what
seemed hours and hours. Most
of the time neither spoke; and
yet, neither felt the need for
speaking. “It wasn’t like this with
Meg,” he thought “I always felt
ill-at-ease unless one of us was
talking.”
The next two evenings were
spent in the cafe, and on the
following Sunday, Guy took Sally
to church.
When they walked down the aisle
toward the front a few people
turned half-way in their pews to
see the young couple. They smiled
approvingly. Both of them heard
a woman whisper, “I never did
think Meg Gamer was the girl
for him.”
Guy looked at Sally, but didn’t
say anything.
When Mrs. Van de Loon came
in with her new hat, an usher had
a terrible time trying not to laugh
out loud. But finally, he could not
hold it any longer. His laughter
burst out and filled the church. He
quickly fled to the lobby and closed
the door.
Mrs. Van de Loon kept on going
down the aisle, entered a pew
and quietly removed The Hat.
i Sally and Guy had not turned
to look as the others had. They
were laughing to themselves. Thqy
already knew that it was the ridic
ulous orange hat with the blue
ostrich plume in the middle, and
they did not need to turn around.
It was a small thing, and per
haps insignificant but Guy realized
then that he knew Sally very well.
There was deep rooted under
standing between them. There had
not been this with Meg. Sally was
the girl for him, he thought “And
it took a silly looking hat to make
me see it,” he whispered aloud,
but to himself, not meaning that
she should hear.
“What did you say?” Sally
asked very softly.
“Nothing, nothing at all,” he
answered quietly, and took her
hand in his and srtiiled.
