Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1987-04-22, Page 16Page 16-CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1987 Sports Naturally Speaking By Steve Cooke Fishing lam' ° Itmight be a good time to remind fishermen that they, and they alone, are responsible for knowing and understanding the law in regards to the fish and game act. Why do I mention this? Every spring, after a few nice days, eager anglers grab their rods and head out for a bit of fishing. That's fine, except that in this part of the country, that's illegal. All waters basically in Huron County are closed to fishing for all species by all means until the official opening of trout season. At that time, waters are open but only for species which are in season. The only excep- tions are those areas at the mouths of designated rivers which are open year round. If you don't understand, then read the regulations for yourself, and don't forget, a fishing licence is necessary as of January first of this year. So what does all this mean? Simple! Over the Easter weekend, six fishing related charges were laid. These people face a max- imum fine of up to $5,000 and will have a previous conviction registered against them. If they are ever charged with a second of- fence, you can bet the court will have no sympathy for them whatsoever. It's up to you. Either do it right, or don't do it at all. If you have any questions, call the Ministry of Natural. Resources M.N.R. office in Wingham, and talk to a Conserva- tion Officer to clear up any doubts. * * * For years, eggs have been the top bait for steelheaders and have probably taken more fish than any other single bait. They will continue to do so, but eggs must be fished properly if they are to be successful. Like most bait, salmon eggs should be drifted gently with the current when river fishing. However, there are several factors to con- sider with this method of fishing. The cur- rent, water depth that is constantly chang- ing,, all types of snags littering the bottom and the fact that often fish strike in dif- ferent manners will have an effect. The most skillful bait fishers agree that lead should be bounced along the bottom of the river carrying the eggs downstream floating just above the rocks. Their speed should be about equal, to the current although some experts like the eggs to travel slightly slower. A short dropper leader may be attached between the line and the leader with just enough weight on the dropper to lightly strike the bottom. This should be lighter test line than the main line. If, by chance, it becomes snagged, the light line will break first and save the rest of the gear. A slight modification is the use of a sur- vival or spreader as part of the rig. The leader and dropper are hooked to different points, and makes it easier to change gear if necessary. Remember however, that this places another object in the water to spook a wary fish. Sometimes a line and hook are almost too much. Another hookup is made of a bell sinker with a swivel loop on it which is run free on the line. The line .is tied to a swivel large enough to prevent the sinker from slipping over it. Then, 18 to 24 inches of leader with the hook is attached to the swivel. This set up gives you a free running lead which can be jerked about when it gets caught, and comes loose rather easily. The other advantage is that even the lightest strikes can usually be felt with this rig. But, whatever your method or bait, come this weekend I can only give you one form of fisherman's wishes. That is that I hope all of you have "tight lines". CLINTON LAWN PO LING CLUB Riders attack Hully Gully track The 1987 House League season was kicked off this weekend under perfect conditions as riders attacked the track for the first time this year. The winter break seemed to have little ef- f4ct on the riders as they posted very quick lap times on the ever changing track. Perhaps the best race of the day carne about almost by accident. Dave Andrews of Clinton moved up to the 125A class on a whim in the second moto, and was narrowly edged out of the victory circle by Lorne Brewer who passed him on the last lap. The two will battle it out again this Satur- day as House League returns on April 25 The big boys will be returning to Hully Gully on April 26 for the season opener. With riders from all across the province atten- ding the competition it is bound to be fierce. Along with the normal purse, riders will have extra incentives as Sunday's races will be Hi -Point races and qualifiers for the Toronto Supercross. Local riders will be out in force such as Dave Andrews of Clinton, Brian Blackburn of Exeter and John Kochan of Hensall. Rac- ing gets under way at 12 noon sharp. All fans are welcome to come out and cheer on the local riders. In order to make room for the new clubhouse, the quarters of the old Clinton Lawn Bowling Club were hauled away intact on April 15. Ed Cornish (pictured) took the clubhouse to his farm in Stanley «r'. Township. The building will be used for a studio for his wife Catherine (Welsh) Cornish.
