"Before one decides to live by his wits, he should make sure that he has the necessary equipment." eelceless Keeper" Boon to Anglers Anglers long have sought a method of handling the fish they catch so as to avoid spoil- ing. Frequently, in a "back in" camp, an ice chest is impract- ical. Under such circumstances, an " Iceless Fish Keeper" is claimed to keep fish from spoil- ing for from 48 to 72 hours, re- gardless of temperature in shade or sun. It is described in the State of New York Conservation Department's "Conservationist" as follows: "Split opening at one side of top pillow case for inserting fish and ferns. Hang on limb. Fish must be gutted and gilled im- mediately after catching and slime or mucin wiped from the inside and outside of each. Place fish and ferns in layers so that no two fish are in contact. Do not use common leaves orgrass as these tend to mat and will not give sufficient air space. "Hang awater-filled tin can or small plastic bag with a hole in the bottom above thepillow case so that water drips slowly at neck of pillow case to keep the entire surface of caie moist. Evaporation causes a reduction of temperature inside the case which keeps the contents cool. " If using tin can, insert small plug of wood to regulate slow drip of water. The water may cause the wood to swell and, therefore, needs regulating. If using a plastic bag, two or three pinholes are sufficient. "Thismethod also eliminates fly contamination, (Be sure to hang where the raccoons can't get at it)". The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Ann Arbor, Michi- gan, says that the only satis- factory method of preserving fish without refrigeration and, at the same time, convenient to the angler, is salting, apply- ing salt to the inside and out- side of the eviscerated fish, then packing them in dry salt, (rock or canners' salt). Thus they can be held for three or four days without developing any appreciable bacterial load. Town League Standing: CKNX 53, Lees 45, Burkes 34, Mustangs 23, Hydro 21, Rockets 14.
