PAGE. TEN THE WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES Wednesday, July 22, 1953
With the 1953 fishing season now
in full swing the largemouth bass is
coming into his own again, While
some may consider he's not so hard
to handle on light tackle as the small-
er smallmouth bass, many sportsmen
prefer the largemouth, even though
he rarely jumps and generally quits
sooner. He's not so moody as the
smailmouth.
The largemouth is found throughout
most of the Province, in the lower
Great Lakes and rivers and connecting
waters, in Georgian Bay and Kawar-
tha and Rideau Lakes and countless
smaller lakes and ponds.
It prefers quiet, weedy waters, even
lakes with muddy bottoms, and is us-
ually found in shallower water than
the smallmouth. It is subject to wide
colour variations and in some sections
is known as green bass. It is blackish-
green above in rushy shallows and
bays such as Georgian Bay, shading
to light green and yellow on the
flanks. In other waters ,it may be
blackish green on the back, fading
to grayish-green and grayish-yellow
on the sides.
The boney upper jaw extends back
of the eye, whereas the smallmouth's
jaw does not. He's a chunkier and
heavier fish, too, with disproportion-
ate head and large mouth and is not
quite as "streamlined" as the small-
mouth.
"Aplites salmoides," the largemouth,
may be taken readily on live bait, such
as frogs, worms, grasshoppers, hel-
gramites and minnows, strikes at
"bass bugs," spinners, spoons and
plugs, but probably prefers frogi.
Fly fishermen usually find the large-
mouth variety much more interested
in flies than the smailmouth, The
limit in Ontario is six per day, not
less than ten inches in length, accord-
ing to the Department of Lands and
Forests.
Officials of the Department were
on hand for the opening of the bass
season at Long Point Bay on Lake
Erie. Anglers reported the fishing
there was never so good. Officials
are trying to determine the status of
bass spawning during the early part
of the season and hope to use the re-
sults in determining future opening
dates.
Anglers were asked to make their
catches available to the officials who
measured the fish, took scales for age
indentification and preserved viscera
for further study. All fish were return-
ed to the fortunate owners -cleaned.
Study of the viscera will reveal
what percentage of fish had completed
spawning on opening day, June 25,
and succeeding days. The experiment
'was directed by A. H. Berst, Lake Erie
district fisheries biologist. Conserva-
tion officers assisted at Turkey Point,
St. Williams dock, Port Rowan docks
and other points.
The first quarterly table and esti-
mate of production of commercial fish
taken in Ontario shows a significant
increase for 1953 over 1952 of a million
pounds-a greater production in all
waters except Lake Superior where
a decrease was noted in the sucker
and whitefish catch. The 1953 over-all
increase is due mainly to the catch in
Lake Erie which shows a marked rise
in the production of whitefish (306,000
lbs,) blue pickerel (312,000 lbs), 'and
yellow pickerel (120,000 lbs.) with an
Increase in coarse species taken in
both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Among principal production changes
noted for the three-month period, Jan-
uary 1 to March 31, as compared with
similar figures for 1952 are:
Blue pickerel-Up from 188,000 lbs.
to 500,000 lbs, in Lake Erie.
Bullheads-Up 50 per cent in Lake
Ontario and southern inland waters.

lbs, in Lake Ontario, 5,000 to 38,000 lbs.
in Lake Erie and 4,000 to 12,000 lbs, in
southern inland waters.
Lake trout-Up from less than 1,000
to 12,000 lbs. in Georgian Bay with a
slight rise in Lake Superior and nor-
thern inland waters.
Ling-Up from 8,000 lbs. to 56,000
lbs. in Lake Erie and from 52,000 to
104,000 lbs. in northern inland waters.
Perch-Increases of 30 per cent in
Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and Lake St.
Clair, with Lake Huron up from less
than 500 lbs. to 8,000.

15,000 lbs. In Lake Superldr.

in Lake Erie.
Whitefish-Up from 90,000 lbs. to
396,000 lbs, in Lake Erie and 2,000 to
26,000 lbs. in Georgian Bay; down from
41,000 to 11,000 lbs, in Lake Ontario
and from 45,000 to 15,000 lbs. in Lake
Superior.
White bass-Down From 240,000 to
145,000 lbs, in Lake Erie; up from
2,000 to 26,000 lbs. in Georgian Bay.
Pickerel (Dore)-Up from 70,000 to
190,000 lbs. in Lake Erie; up from less
than 500 to 8,000 lbs. in Lake Huron;
a small increase in northern Inland
waters, and a decrease from 21,000 to
11,000 lbs. in Lake Ontario.
