Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1967-08-31, Page 5“Fishing is my favorite sport now!” This was 5-year-old J. J. Beechie’s comment after catching this 16-inch pickerel which he pulled from the Bayfield river last week. Using a boy’s traditional and primitive but somehow effective angling gear of switch-rod, a length of string and worm-baited hook, “J.J.” landed his first pickerel with the help of his two sisters. “J.J.” catches pickerel merely for the fun of it; he admitted that he didn’t like the taste of fish. (Photo by Bellchamber) w . Clinton News-Record, Thursday. August 31, 1967 Local youths praised on Expo 67 trip The biggest, best fish he'll ever catch By Audrey Bellchamber This is the story of the 16 inch pickerel that didn’t get awayi Master J.J. Beechie, aged 5, told me last week of his very first fishing trip. Using as a rod, aslender tree branch, a piece of string, and a hook and worm, “J.J.” caught his fish in the Bayfield river last Tuesday. He admitted his two sisters helped pull it in and then they didn’t know what to do. They just “left it in the air to die”. When I asked what he was going to do with it (having an idea I might be asked the name of a good taxidermist!) “J.J.” said that they were going to have it for dinner, but ad ded, he “really doesn’t like fish”. But he said very feverently, of course, “fishing is my fa- vorite sport - now!!” % BEAUTIFUL BREEZY , , , . , , By BELLCHAMBER Jk VI?T 1% j ■ t t PERSONAL HEMS • CHURCH NEWS • CLUB ACTIVITIES > VILLAGE HAPPENINGS Correspondent: AUDREY BELLCHAMBER Phone 565-2864, Bayfield Subscriptions, Classified Adys. and Display Adys, all accepted by the Bayfield correspondent.
