WHERE TROUT GROW B1G AND LADIES GROW BEARDS
Where else but Lake Temagami, located some 60 miles north
of North Bay, This extremely productive body of water boasts
some 1600 islands, 3000 miles of shoreline and a maximum
width of two miles.
We have made a number of trips to Temagami each winter to
fish lake trout and have enjoyed good fishing ar i good times—a
winning combination.
Everyone up there grows a
beard for the famous Temagami
Winter Carnival and they all
start about six months before
carnival time.
On one trip we arrived on a
Saturday night and strolled into
the Minawassi Hotel which was
literally packed with people
(the hotel boasting a fine TV
set and it being hockey night in
Canada). I am certain the only
clean shaven faces in the crowd
belonged to a couple of small
girls about nine years of age,
and that was only because they
weren't quite old enough to
grow whiskers. The famed
bearded lady of the circus
would have been "just one of
the girls".
As you might well imagine,
I was right at home, but my
pink -jowled friends felt posi-
tively naked as they were re-
garded with a jaundiced eye
usually reserved for "city slick-
ers".
We have found most of the
people of Temagami to be
down-to-earth, helpful, oblig-
ing and friendly. I have notic-
ed over the years that these
seem to be predominating quali-
ties in the residents of northern
Ontario.

elected to sper i the night in
our fish shack. It just happened
that we chose a night when the
temperature dipped to 40 de-
grees below zero and our hut
contained the crankiest, most
ornery oil stove I have ever
locked horns with.
. It would burn merrily for a
while — then suddenly go
"wh0000sh" and the floor of the
hut would be covered with burn-
ing oil. With the flames lick-
ing around our ankles we would
frantically stomp them out,
knowing exactly how that boy
who stood on the burning deck
must have felt.
Then with equal fore -warn-
ing and for no apparent reason,
the stove would go out. Before
we were ablt to coax any life
into the brute we would be blue
with cold. During several such
crises we contemplated going
outside to warm up.
On one occasion we arrived
at the conclusion the stovepipe
must be plugged with soot so we
gave it a couple of healthy raps
It was. Coughing and splutter-
ing, we groped our way out the
door, emerging like a pair of
chimney sweeps just before the
Saturday night bath.
About 3 a.m. we discovered
to our chagrin that our fuel -oil
supply was exhausted. We were
faced with two alternatives: we
could stay where we were and
hope someone would stumble
on our frozen, frost -covered
bodies before the wolves did, or
we could hike across the ice to
where the car was parked and
drive into Temagami for more
fuel.
We turned up our coat col-
lars and headed across the fro-
zen lake, keeping in mind not
to lie down and have a snooze,
no matter how warm and sleepy
we felt, I am certain we would
have perished within minutes
had we not exhibited the fore-
sight to bring along our first aid
kit, containing six band-aids
and two bottles of Barbados rum
(terrible country for snakes).

Many Grebes
Found in Area
In the Ontario Department of
Lands and Forests weekly report
of the Lake Huron District, is
the following item about the
Grebes that were found in this
area during February:
"In the latter part of Febru-
ary of this year a deluge of
phone calls to Conservation Of-
ficer Gerry Harris of Paisley,
resulted in the discovery of yet
another strange happening
among our wildlife.
"These phone calls were
from interested persons whohad
found 'strange birds', half fro-
zen along the snow banks on
the sides of the roads in Bruce
County. In all, twelve such
calls were received and inves-
tigation proved these strange
birds to be "Red-neckedGrebee.
These pretty migrants are us-
ually found in open lakes and
ponds, and why they showed up
in frozen Bruce County is any-
body's guess. Maybe they were
just anxious to get back after a
long hard winter in the South.
"All Grebes brought to our
attention were released in open
stretches of rivers at Tara and
Paisley. Several were also
found in the W ingham area and
we presume that they have now
been released into their natural
environment.
"A father from Port Elgin,
skiing in that area on Saturday,
March 2nd, spotted one of the
strange birds sitting in the
centre of a snow covered field.
Father and boys attempted to
rescue it but as they closed in,
the bird actually took to the
air from the snow and flew
around for a few minutes and
then landed right back in the
same place again. Maybe this
particular Grebe is trying to
immitate the Penguin. Who
knows?"
tipped the scales at close to 50
pounds. There are also plenti-
ful supplies of whitefish and
walleyes as well as a large and
hungry population of burbot.
The latter, known also as fresh-
water cod, eelpout, or ling, is
a slippery, snake -like fish look-
ed upon with derision by mem-
bers of the angling fraternity,
We have seldom fished Tem-
agami in the winter without en-
joying good trout fishing. Most
of the fish caught are in the
three to six pound class al-
though 15 and 20 pounders are
not uncommon.
The trout will hit lures or
minnows and with the new regu-
lations permitting two lines for
winter fishing, it is a good idea
to rig up one with minnows and
jig the other.
Minnows are hard to come
by up there and I would suggest
you take your own. We have
found three or four inch shiners
the best,
The most successful lure is

LADIES' LEAGUE '
This was the last of our sea-
son's bowling. Our congratu-
lations go to the Matinees, who
ended up on top. The winners
consisted of Captain Nora Fin-
nigan, Gwen MacLaurin, Louise
Welwood, Dorothy Bain, Mar-
garette Sweeney and Bea Shrop-
shall.

Our thanks go out to the
many spares, who helped out
throughout the season. Now
which team will end up as
champs for the play offs?
Good luck to you all.
COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
Playoff games are now under
way, and no holds barred.
Everyone is after the Big Trophy.
The championship goes to the
an extra set of hooks through
the top split ring. Hold these
hooks against the bait by means
of a rubber band so they don't
get tangled in the line,
Through practical experi-
ence we have drawn the con-
clusion that ling are basically
night feeders. We fished all
night a couple of weeks ago
with the hopes of picking up
some whitefish,
There were three of us in
the hut and by daybreak we
had 42 ling piled up like cord-
wood outside the door. One of
our party accounted for at least
half the total and exhibited
such a master's touch at catch-
ing these ugly denizens of the
deep that we crowned him
King Ling,
It is said that ling flesh is
delicately flavoured but they
say the same thing about rattle-
snake meat, I harbour no as-
pirations to become an author-
ity on the subject.
I have tasted smoked ling
which is most acceptable, al-
though I advance the theory
that almost anything can be
made edible by smoking it. I
imagine even muskrat tails,
breast of crow or buffalo chips
would all be quite palatable,
when prepared in this fashion.
IOOF Euchre
There were ten tables in
play at the Oddfellowd euchre
party on Saturday night.
Mrs. Harold Wild was the
high lady and Wallace Agar
won first prize for the men.
Mrs. Bill Bain won the prize
for the high lady, playing as a
man, The consolation was won
by George Gregg.
