Junk jewellery is fashionable again!
Gather your old broken strands of
pearls and other beads, and restring
them to make long colorful ropes.
Almost any combination is in style.
You can use lightweight nylon fish
line leader for string, and if it’s stiff
enough you won’t need to use a
needle.

Last Friday was the big day for
bass fishermen on the Maitland, and
from what we were able to see they
were taking full advantage of it. July
1st ranks almost with May 1st in this
district^ when you figure the influx
of visitors from the cities.
Nothing wonderful in the way of
catches was reported, but you never
know with bass fishing hereabouts.
Most of the fishermen are from some
where else, and if they do manage to
tie into a lunker, you seldom hear
about it. If some one gets a big
speckled in this neighborhood every
body in town knows about it in no
time at all.
Most of the visitors over the week
end were bridge fishermen/ sticking
pretty close to the roads. Fortunately
for them there are quite a few good
holes close at hand, in fact some of
the best fishing places are under or
near many bridges in the neighbor
hood. Down on the prairie, for in
stance, father can fish while the rest
■of the family has a picnic, an arrange
ment which seems to work out pretty
well for those who don’t take their
fishing too seriously.
0-0-0
A problem which seems to be in
teresting more people in Wingham
these days is the possibility that there
may be some brown trout and pos
sibly some big ones, in the Maitland.
We’ve heard of several people who
have come in contact with them in
one way or another.
Apparently brown trout have been
lumped into the river for several
years now,' and every year the depart
ment puts in a few more. Where
most of them have got to is the big
mystery.
The fact that few local people fish
the river makes it difficult to figure
out just how many browns have been
caught there. But the occasional
visitor to these parts will report
getting one or more browns while
fishing for bass. Last year a nice
brown was taken out of the river
below the lower dam, and there’s no
doubt that there are more of them
around if you can find them.
Brown trout are . notoriously shy
and don’t fall too easily to the
angler’s lures, which helps account for
the fact that not many of them are
caught. Evening or night is supposed
to be a good time to fish for them,
and they’ll take flies, spinners or live
bait.
The big problem that fazes most
local people is where to start looking
for them. If local anglers had some
sort of idea where they might be
found, they might be willing to try
a little harder.
