The 4R Ranch Rodeo has been booked for four performances, Friday, May 9 at 8:00 p.m,; Saturday, May 10 at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.; Sunday, May 11 at 2:00 p.m. With six inches of clay top soil and sand the arena will be transformed into a real western corral. The chutes from which the cowboys emerge on their bucking bronea and brahma bulls are placed at one end so that the thrill and excitement of `America's Roughest Sport' will be visible to all. Approximately 100 cowboys from the eastern U.S. and Canada are expected to compete in the bareback bronc riding, saddle brone riding, steer wrestling, calf roping and brahma bull riding. A full entry of cowgirls to compete in the Ladies barrel race is also expected. One of the most dangerous of all rodeo events is the brahma bull riding and this year will be no exception as the 4B Ranch has acquired a new string of these potential killers. The brahma bull has no fear of man or horse and will attack without hesitation, For this reason, mounted pick-up men cannot be used to rescue a thrown cowboy. This is where the Rodeo clowns show their versatility. It is their job to distract the bull to allow the cowboy to reach safety. It is an exacting and dangerous profession and the outlandish coloured shirts and baggy pants are respected badges of a rare kind of courage. The Rodeo clown is a brave man first and funny man second, The thrills and excitement of the wild west will be in Stratford on May 9, 10 and 11. Tickets are $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children under 16 and are available by mail from the Stratford Chamber of Commerce, 14 Erie Street, Stratford. Letter to the Sports Editor Lucan, Ontario April 25th, 1969 • FOR A1.4. GOOO SPORTS. By Ros; Heigh More on Coho Last week in this column we were talking about the introduction of the coho salmon to district fishing waters and the additional sport that could be expected by enthusiastic anglers in this part of the country. Since that time we have been talking to Howard Green, a commercial fisherman at Grand Bend and read an interesting article in a recent issue of National Geographic Magazine. Due to the fact the coho is new to the area very little is known about their habits. During the last couple days of last week, the GB commercial boys were getting good catches of coho very close to shore. The coho are being caught in the nets that were originally being set for whitefish, These nets are of 414 inch mesh while nets used for perch are only 21/2 inches. While at the Bend Saturday at the Green Fisheries we saw perch, whitefish, pickerel and white bass being brought in along with coho. If the coho continue their presence in Lake Huron for a year or two we will be treated to some large-sized fish. We have been told they are capable of gaining a • maximum of one pound a month which would make for a giant by the time they spawn at about three years of age. The Geographic magazine tells us the average weight of a coho or silver salmon as it is known in some parts of the United States is from six to twelve pounds. In the United States their readiness to take • artificial lures has long delighted sports fishermen from northern California to Alaska. Even commercial fishermen land half their annual catch by trolling with spoon and herring bait. Last year American sportsmen caught nearly a third of a million scrappy coho off the mouth of the • Columbia River alone. In the last couple of weeks some of the new breed here have been landed by hook and line at Bay field and Goderich, Biologists with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests have only this spring stocked coho in Ontario waters and know so little about the fish they are unwilling to pass regulations for fear they will be • inadequate. They do, however, urge sportsmen to get in some angling on the coho planted by Michigan officials while they are still close to shore. Only 400,000 were stocked in Michigan a year ago and with commercial fishermen netting upwards of 400 pounds daily at Grand Bend • alone it won't take long to deplete the supply. Fishermen appear to have heeded the advice as sport shops in London are experiencing a steady run on coho tackle although it hasn't reached the volume in sales reported in Michigan over the past three years. A fighting game fish, the coho has little preference in the line of bait it likes. It will hit spoons, • plugs, bucktails and flies. Some local fishermen have even had luck on dew worms although the favorite seems to be No. 2 or No. 3 Mepps spinners. The fact that Ontario's commercial fishermen are catching coho stocked in Michigan has caused embarrassment among officials on both sides of the • border. Michigan doesn't allow commercial fishing for coho and asked Ontario to impose similar restrictions on its commercial fishermen. Since this province hasn't stocked an appreciable amount of coho no regulations govern fishing in Ontario. What makes the situation even more sensitive is the sale of coho by Ontario commercial fishermen back to the United States through outlets in Boston and New York. Coho are presently selling for 70 cents per pound in Grand Bend and 99 cents in London. We have now had a feed of coho on two occasions and are very pleased with the result. The coho can be prepared by either frying the fillets in deep butter or stuffing the whole fish and baking. It is recommended the fish be baked for 35 minutes per two-pound fish at 350 degrees, Coho were introduced into Lake Michigan tributaries to clean up undesirable species such as alewives and smelt which were dying off by the millions and littering beaches. A salt water Pacific salmon, the coho was selected for the 3,000 mile enforced journey because of its tremendous growth rate, All coho eggs are brought into Michigan by West ▪ Coast suppliers. Ontario receives its stock from Michigan on a co-operative exchange for a supply of its hybrid splake, a cross between lake trout and brook trout that has been very successful, Much can be said of the coho's rapid growth and its availability to fishermen when they congregate at • river mouths during fall spawning runs but there are several negative qualities that have left Lands and Forest officials non-committal on their future plans for the fish. Tests have shown that third-generation coho are sterila in fresh water. These experiments show that when the first-generation of fresh water coho spawn at • the age of three there is a high per cent of fertility, The per cent of fertility islower for the second generation and practically negative in the next. Coho were first planted in Lake Michigan four years ago. The fertility rate of the first generation that spawned a year ago was high. Biologists are now anxiously waiting to see the per cent of fertility in second generation eggs. Second generation fish however, won't spawn for another two years. BACK TO HURON PARK After a successful season while using the Huron Park arena for home ice the Lucan-Ilderton Jets and Crediton Tigers have signed contracts this past week for similar arrangements for the 1969-10 hockey season. The lets are providing year-round entertainment for their players. They have scheduled three or four golf tournaments for the summer and went smelt fishing over the weekend. We have been unable to determine their success at the smelt run. The Crediton Tigers through manager Bob Galloway have asked us to send along their thanks to the area fans and to Crediton slid district merchants for- their support during the past season in which the club again won the WOAA grand championship. GETTING AN AUTOGRAPH r- One of the busiest fellows at Friday's banquet of the Grand Bend Minor Sports Program was Darryl Sittler of the London Knights. Sittler, who appeared in Grand Bend on crutches because of a recent knee operation is seen here signing autographs for Steven Hodgins, Gary Jennison, Brian Parker and Victor Taylor. T-A photo.
