So you think you need 201b. test line on your fishing
reel do you? Well, it's just not so. This past weekend I
enjoyed the opportunity of attending a convention of
Outdoor Writers in Thompson, Manitoba and had the
chance to talk to and watch some real experts in ac-
tion. One of the things which quickly became apparent
was that the majority of these people preferred to use
ultra light tackle, and even those who had regular gear
seldom had any more than six lb. test on their reels.
Burt Myers, the editor of Ontario Out Of Doors, is
known to be an excellent and avid muskie fisherman.
The Fist day I fished With him, Burt caught and releas-
ed a 12 and 15 lb northern pike along with half a dozen
dyes. The next:day Burt was in a. different boat and
landed another or eight walleyes. He also picked up
another :12 lb northern and an 18 pounder. He caught
' several smaller, ones: before losing one after a 15
minute fight. Needless to say, the fishing was excellent
(even:I caught my share, but no Monsters like the pike
Burt had ori). The amazing part, however, is that he
was using an ultralight" Ryobi reel, a light Eagle Claw
pack and'rod and SIX pound test line with No leader.
Now Burt Meyer is an expert fisherman and knows
how to adjust his drag properly and how to play a fish
correctly, but he was catching fish that weighed three
timenivhat the breaking strength of his line was. When
wastlie`last time: you caught a 201b. fish on your 20 Ib.
bco representativeI talked to does a good deal
for their new equipment and he talks of cat-
chingarpon in. Florida on 201b. test line. He claimed
that if youhad enough line� �o,,n the, reel, you'd eventually
b`olal�.�n you played the
z rrp��WVA�the�bait�
fid and had your drag adjusted properly. (Tar-
pon bythe way run between 100 and l5olbs. ).
•T a man from Trilene hadsli hilar tales to tell and
also pointed out that the zlower the pound test, the
umallerthe thie line i 1ti ng in longer, more
accurate casts add h tterlure action. Everyone seem-
edtoagree that the heavier theline, the more likely the
clhanceaof the fish spotting it andseveralpeople pointed
out that nit's been proven that, Under the same condi-
tions,: the man using the lighter line will catch more
'fish. If you've ever seen someone out during the rain-
bow run with a noodle rod and 2 or 4 lb. test, you'll be
quick to agree. If you don't believe me, just start ask-
ing
sking the people who are catching fish around you what
weightof.line they're using, and you'll see for yourself.
'i1 hat
u • you think of fishing tournaments? I don't
oderhiesfor kids the extended Contests for.
birgfishlat are Onion more of a casual basis, but the
hard co. big money (or "prizes), catch as many
pounds oish.asyou can in a day type of tournament.
'these are the tournaments that started in the U.S. and
are really starting to bloom in Canada. Apparently
there are over 30 such tournaments scheduled to take
piacejii Ontario this summer. I would appreciate it if
.ygiu:could take a moment or two and drop me a line c -o
Tie Clinton News -Record, and give me your point of
view.

Zebco bas long been known as the company that
caters to children in the fishing world. Their adult
equipment is excellent as well and they produce some
of the finest rods and reels in the world,, but they are
the only company that I know of that tries to produce
scaled down easy to use fishing gear for kids as well.
They are also the official suppliers for the Boy Scouts
of America.
Along with supplying equipment for youngsters, they
are also trying to instill a sense of sportsmanship and
fair play in them which hopefully they will retain as
they get older. In order to promote this, they are in the
process of a "Fish Canada" program which they hope
they will have out to the public in the near future. What
it actually involves is the releasing of fish which are
not destined to be eaten. If a youngster catches a fish
that is too small to eat, or of a species for which they
were not fishing, Zebco will send him (or her) a cer-
tificate declaring the applicant a participant in this
program along with an attractive decal which can be
affixed to their tackle box or dad's boat. I don't know
all the details yet, but keep an eye out for the applica-
tion forms on the counters of sporting goods stores, etc.
As soon as I get all the info, I'll do a column on it so
you'll know how to make your son or daughter a proud
fisherman with their very own certificate.
weekend. ; ,
The event featured 32
teams, including ones from
Kitchener, Stratford,
Waterloo, as well as ones
from Listowel; Palmerston,
Exeter and Goderich
The Housewives easily
won their first game, beating
Palmerston 16-0 and then
rolled over Listowel 5-0 in the
second game.
In the semi-finals, it looked
like the roof had caved in on
the Clinton women, when
they were behind 8-1 to
Exeter in the top of the fifth,
and the game was nearly
cancelled by the eight -run
mercy ruling.
But the Housewives
stormed back, keeping the
Exeter runners from
reaching home plate, while
they banged off nine more
runs to win the game 10-8.
The Exeter team was un-
derstandably upset.
In the final, Clinton battled
the Goderich team, but came
out on top 18-11 to win the
championship.
Homers in the tournament
were hit by Pat Norman, Jan
Rutledge and Louise Brown,
while Clinton's Sandy Burns
and Gail Daer shared the
pitching duties.
The Housewives play . in
another tournament this
coming weekend in Kin-
cardine, and in regular
league play, they have a
record of three wins, no
losses and one tie.
Here are the winners at the track meet at St. Joseph's Separate School. Left to right are
Terry Davies top, and Debbie Lee, bottom, senior winners. Centre are Kerry Schmidt,
top, and Disoumang Phonphiboun, intermediate winners, and right are junior winners
