Clinton News-Record, 1978-04-27, Page 6PAGE 6—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1978 Fish and Game Darts hold annual banquet By Helen Tench The Huron Fish and Game Mixed Darts held their an- nual banquet last Saturday evening, April 22, at the clubhouse. At the beginning of the evening, every dart club member was given a pin in the shape of a dart board, complete with the ap- propriate markings. After a delicious buffet dinner, trophies for the .1977- 78 season were presented to the high achievers. The class "A" ladies went to Joyce Cook, and the class "A" men to Murray McKenzie. The class "B" ladies' high was awarded to Virginia Crich, and the class "B" men's to Jerry Cook. The highest possible score that can be made with three darts (one turn at the board) is 180, so there is a "180" trophy for the member achieving the highest in- dividual score. The honour this year went to Jack Spearin. All of the above-named trophies are permanent keepsakes for those winning them, but the Huron Fish and Game Club this year donated a trophy to the local mixed dart group for the highest scorer of the season. This special trophy will remain on display in the clubhouse at all times, with a plaque attached each year with the winning name on it. Murray McKenzie had the distinction of being the first to win this award. An assortment of attractive gifts was on display during the evening ; each member and guest present was allowed to make his or her own selection in turn --a very pleasant memento of the occasion. Elections for the dart club executive of the 1978-79 season then took place. The new officers are: president, Pat Cook; vice-president; Kay Falconer; secretary, Joyce Cook; treaaurer, Ruth Shropshall--an all --women executive, so watch for an efficient, exciting, and successfull year. During the remainder of the evening progressive euchre was played, to the accompaniement of organ music with Millie Hanley at the keyboard. Naturally speaking By Steve Cooke April 29th heralds the opening of trout season for another year. Now is a good time to dig out your gear and give it a good once over. Monofilament lines deteriorate over the passage of time and should be replaced at least every spring. Tarnished lures can be polished up, and you rainbow fanatics should dig that roe out of the freezer and start tying up bags. Brook or speckled trout are my favorite and are best angled with a nice fat juicy dew worm. Very small lures or Mepps spinners can also be quite effective, and of course, the real purist would think of using nothing but flies. Whatever your persuasion, the bag limit for brook trout,in this area is 10 in one day. The most popular method of catching rainbow trout is by drifting a small bag of spawn downstream with the current. Weighted streamers are popular with fly fishermen and lures such as the alligator are proven producers. One of my favorite lures is a large Mepps, and they have some new spinners out this year that I am anxious to try. The big bonus with river fishing for rainbows is of course the Pacific Salmon. Pacific Salmon are lumped in with trout for bag limits and any combination of trout and salmon must not exceed five in one day. Trout in this category include rainbow, lake and brown trout, while Pacific Salmon include coho, chinook kokanee, pink and any member of the genus Oncorhynchus. The bag limit of five in one day is an aggregate limit, not an individual species limit. The limit must also not include more than three lake trout. The possession limit is described as "not exceeding one day's limit". Fish are considered to be in the possession of an angler whether they are on hand, in cold storage, in transit, or elsewhere. Whether it be brook, brown, rainbow or salmon you are after this weekend, I wish you "tight lines" and a full creel. In Europe they call us "Canada Fats" PaRTICIPa(T/O11 YNP Cawed.
