Opening day of the trout
season has again passed by!
This year’s opener was far
from spectacular. There
were no great numbers of
trout in the streams and
those that were there
wouldn’t co-operate with
local anglers. Even the
stocked trout in Morrison
Dam would not bite for the
young anglers which braved
the weather to try winning a
prize in the Claybirds fishing
derby.
Conservation Officer Jack
Overhault informed me that
Morrison Dam will receive
up to 800 rainbows this
season. These will mostly be
in the 8 to 10 inch class. They
will be stocked in three
plantings, the first of which
was April 24.
Smelt fishermen have had
it good this week and
hopefully the run will last for
a while yet. One of the best
places seems to be the pier at
Grand Bend, where
fishermen with umbrella
nets were doing very well.
The gun clubs are starting
to open and to keep you in
formed here is a list of the
local clubs and whats going
on this year.
Fullarton: This club
started shooting April 22.
They will be shooting skeet
Sundays from 1.30 p.m. and
trap Wednesday nights from
6.30. The equipment includes
manual skeet traps and a
new electric trap for trap
shooting. At the present time
they are charging $1.50 per
25 targets (one round) and do
not require a membership,
Their range is located about
two miles north of Fullarton
on apavedroad and all are
welcome.
Kippen: The Kippen
shooters opened April 30 and
be shooting Monday
nights from 6.30 p.m. They
have added an electric trap
this year and have installed
it next to the existing field.
They have also done a lot of
work on the club house.
Kippen offers trap shooting
only, does not have a
membership and anyone is
welcome. They are located
right on Highway 4 at Kip
pen.
Sputh Huron Sportsman’s
Association: This
organization is constructing
a skeet range on highway 83
two and one half miles west
of Exeter, They have not set
a date for opening yet but
say it will be in May. The
traps are fully automatic
electric and they are laying
out for two fields, the second
to be completed at a later
date.
This is privately owned
and will be open to the public
on weekends with shooting
instructions available for
new shooters. There is no
membership required and
anyone will be welcome.
They are also planning a
large clubhouse to be
completed this summer and
plan to be open year around.
Another Interesting thing
about this group of shooters
is that they have a fair
number of women shooters.
Claybird Gun Club: They
have planned their opening
for May 12 weather per
mitting and will be offering
skeet shooting Saturdays
and trap shooting Wed
nesdays from 6.30 p.m. The
equipment includes manual
skeet traps and an electric
trap for trap shooting. They
also have a 200 yard rjfle
range and government in
spected outdoor handgun
range.
These are open to mem
bers at all times according to
their secretary. A mem
bership is
I® V’■da A
required for those shooting
handguns. These facilities
are located in Hay township
on concession 5.
The Goderich gun club is
privately owned by John
Hessels and operating
smoothly. They have been
shooting both skeet and trap
on Saturdays starting
between 12 noon and one.
Their equipment is all elec
tric and anyone is welcome
to shoot at $1.50 per round.
No membership is required.
To get to this club turn
east on the first sideroad
north of the Goderich O.P.P.
office on Highway 21. At the
first corner turn left, over
the tracks. It’s behind the
first white house on the
right. It’s a great place to
spend a coupleof hours when
your up that way fishing on
Saturday.
Several local shooters shot
there Saturday including
Randy Stanlake with 23 (12
gauge) for second place.
Bob Snell broke 20 with the
20 gauge.
My wife and I competed
with the .410 breaking 17 and
22 respectively. Two new
shooters Lyn Snell on her se
cond time round even broke
8 with 28 gauge and Maureen
Erb broke 7 with 20 gauge on
her first round.
All three ladies deserve
congratulations as a 17 is a
good round for anyone with a
.410 scattergun and most
first time lady shooters (and
many men too) generally
break only 4 or 5.
