Smiled goes fishin'
First trout -fishing trip. of the
year is like a good spring ton
ie: It cleanses you ,' physically •
and spiritually, And leaves you
exhausted.
I had . mine. last Saturday.,
The important thing in "going
after speckled trout,of course,
is the careful planning, There's
no use to ite at all -if, you. just
throw your fishing gear in the.
car, and 'go outto some stream
where all the amateurs angle;
and toss in a line. You're liable
to come home witha creep: full
„ of . fish" if you' -go' ;at it in this
haphazard way.
No. First of .ah,. you select a
fishing companion. This; •to •a
real angler, is, just a .bit .less.
important ' than: choosing a:
mate for life. You wanta de
pendaable sort, ;of chap • the.
type who is going to have:
fresh worms for both. of .you; a
good supply -•;of hooks, , maps
with the sure=fire holes marked' :.
in red, . and . an infallible:: sense
of direction '•in the bush.
•.That's exactly what I ..lined:
up this year. ,Mind you, those
keen' types take ;a bit of ,man
°aging. „They're• .great inthe,,
bush, but they need' an organi-
zational, mind to channel their,.
energies. I had . to get quite
firm with him when. he . began.'.
muttering about. 4 a.m. and
hitting the stream :at dawn.
Dawn, : indeed::: ' I told him
'that is .pure. superstition`. Only
the very young, immature an-
gler goes floundering' , off in
the . dark, fishes like a fool
until noon, then is whacked
for the. day.' Just about ,then,.
the Wily, mature angler, forti-
fied with a good. breakfast, ar-
rives and. slaughters the trout,
which are' completely unpre= •
pared for, the second wave
,the experts;
Well, we got away about
1.0.30, ; after a couple of false,
starts. He forgot his lunch and`
we had to go around ,to his
•,place. And when 'we got out to.
the County; . Line, • I realized. '•
that' because; 'of :his stupidity,
I'd -been .upset and had forgot
• ten my waders.
But he had' a beautiful spot
picked. out. You ' park the car • "
just, off the road, and walk up
this hydro; line .to . the stream.
The, stream was just in there..
past the fourth hydro tower,
he thought. It . was just past
the, 14th. And they're . .100
yards apart.
Not ,another angler in sight.
gl g
I gloated. We cached the lunch
• and ' 'began working up the
stream.: I like ' that word we
,anglers • use "l�lorking."' You..
couldn't hire a man to do it for
$8O an hour. Slash in • the face
from an alder. Hole in the boot
froma snag., Slide from a. log
and oh -eh -oh -oh as. you :.hit that
spring -fed water,° Lose a boot .:
in , the mud. Scratch hands to
a bloddy mess . on jagged'
branches. •
But it's all worth • it'. if . the
.trout are .. biting. And, boy,
were they biting! They, were
biting .each other on the fleck,
nibbling each 'others' ears, and
snapping each, other in half, as
far as I know. But they weren't
biting .worms; .
After an hour of torture that
would ; have made • the • Gestapo
`green with envy, we arrived 'at
the -'big pool abovethe beaver
dam. The sure-fire 'hole: • .
We fished. Hard. = A big mal
lard hen popped •into the :pond, •
1. secureiii the knowledge that it
' wasn't duck season,: ' looked us
over, cackled ' with laughter
and took off.
We fished. Birder. A. baby
beaver, surfaced,, swam casually:.
to within four .feet, looked at
each of us; and. expressed . his
feelings by. turning his .rump
in the air and submerging.
.We fished, Desperately.. Sud-
denly there was a' huge splosh,.
then .a. .ker-plunk; ker'-plunk,
and a big 'buck` deer splashed
through the ' shallows and
away, sneering .over .his` shoul
That...; did. it. We 'left. But
there was no point, said my
mate, ' in taking 'the lone tor-
tuous trail back ' down. the
'Stream, through that heavy
slash...Sd,. with, '. his.. infallible
sense of .direction,' we .swung
around in a circle, by -the high
ground':.
The high ground` turned out
to be cedar based in mud, bob
