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".

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. (David Emslie photo)
