This involves merely lowering of a bait-laden hook,' using worms, minnows, frogs, grasshoppers and even, bacon rind before a hungry trout. 4 Most attractive feature of May 1 In Ontario is that it signalises the ape proach of the game fish period. Many fishermen previously have "rehearsed" on puckers, smelt and the peeeh roses, but, once the speckled trout season opens, the pickerel fishing follows on May 15 and it isn't long until bass and maskinonge may be taken.

Thompson, Long Awaited Trout Season Opens Next Week More than 100,000 resident and non- resident anglers are expected to open the speckled trout season in Ontario on May 1. Tliey will use fishing tackle valued in the millions, of dollars. As an example, one Toronto sportsman has more than $5,000 invested in fly- rods, lines and an assortment of more than 5,000 flies and other parapher- nalia used by crack anglers, Yet, in the best Izaak Walton tra- dition, some freckled-faced youngster armed only with an alder pole, string line and nut-laden hook probably will walk off with the principal prize in one of the angling contests which are always a feature of "opening day." This year, following a record mild winter, in Southern Ontario at least, streams are expected to be at mid- season levels. This means that trout may he taken on streamer or wet flies and even, if the weather is very warm, on dry flies. In the extreme north, however, there will still be ice on the lakes and river edges, and wet flies and bait will be preferred. Salvelinus fontinalis, to give the speckled trout his technical name, has been sought by anglers for hundreds of years. He may weigh, in extreme cases, as much as seven or eight pounds from Lake Nipigon or the Nipigon River, although it is claimed that larger trout may be found in more isolated parts of the Province, In any event, the world's record trout came from the Nipigon River. It weighed 14% pounds and was caught in 1915 by the late Dr. J. W, Cook of Port Arthur. Generally, in Southern Ontario, a speckled trout weighing three pounds or thereabouts will take the prizes. Most of the fish, stream-caught, may he just over the seven-inch limit. Fishing for square tails, is, or is not, a very involved procedure. The fly fishermen devote their angling entirely to small tufts of feathers or hair con- cealing the hook. The dry fly floats on the surface of the water; the wet fly is submerged and usually resembles a live minnow. But speckled trout may also be taken on small plugs and spin- ners, either cast from a bait rod or trolled behind a boat. Spinning tackle, a relatively new method on this continent, is now very popular. With the spinning rod and special reel and lines, an angler finds it quite easy to toss a bait 100 feet or more. Then, of course, there is still-fishing —"worm dunking" as it may be scorn- NEWS OF CORRIE Women's Institute Hears of Motor Trip to Arizona April 16th, at the home of Mrs. Wellesley Strong, with a good attend- ance.
