It comes but once a year attracting hundreds from
far and near. A hardy lot, armed with "crocks", so the
weather they don't fear.
Friday night at midnight signals the start of another
trout fishing season in the Bayfield River. This week
we're taking a humorous look at "Life at Joe's Pond".
__Asa gzou a.getfrostbite picking dewworms
on -the-eve, back into ahydro-pole, get-stuckin.tire-mud-
or forget to set the alarm clock you have now reached
the pond in time to see the opening day sunrise:
. That was phase one and now you prepare to do battle
in phase two. This skirmish isnot with the fish .them-
selves but with the dreaded `two -legged "zibet" that
comes out of hibernation every year on this day. --
They can be identified as being distinctly different
species within their own genre. The first type is easily
recognized. He's the guy with the canoe strapped to
his back, chest. high waders, flailing a fishing pole with
one hand and clutching a landing net in the other.
Looks like a reject from Scuttlebutt Lodge and you
can't help noticing him because he's . creating a
miniature typhoon by wading ,up the middle of the
river, stepping on your line and scaring every fish
within miles with the noise.
The second type. you're more likely able to identify
by his call. It's the. one coming down the riverbank
carrying a stringer full of "Ngrthern I edliorse
Suckers" hooting loudly and proclaiming them to, be
rainbow trout `cause they have a "red stripe" on their
sides'. But why spoil his fun, he probably wouldn't.
believe it anyway.
Now the "radar type" isn't obvious unless you catch
a trout yourself. He's the guy that saw you land the
fish. That prompted him to move his gear over, elbow
in beside you and attempt to fish. After he snags your
line onsix successive casts you know it's time to leave.
With all sense of decency gone, you hoist your prize
catch high in theHair and march past the rest' of the
"gaping gadabouts
"Look at the size of that fish "Oh, wow!" "Whadja
catch it on?" The kids that dragged their dads out of
bed to take them fishing stand in awe. They rid their
fists of the myriads of stones they've been pitching
into the river for the past two hours and momentarily
get interested in fishing again.
Undaunted, you proceed keeping an eye out for lures
whizzing past your face, likening to the guy's line
that's been snagged on the log almost every cast snap
again and watching the splash of water as another's
line, overweighted with sinkers, cracks the surface of
the pond like an exploding torpedo.
By now (chuckling away to yourself) you reach the
relative safety of your car ready to burst into laughter
when the last poltroon steps up. "Can I get a picture
with my camera?" he says. The old ego speaks up and
says "Sure!" Then he hands you the camera grabs
your catch and says, "cheese". Begrudgingly you
click the shutter (hoping it doesn't turn outY and think
"why me?"
Back home with the coffee pot on and the fish frying
in the pan you just know you'll be back at "the Pond"
again next year. The faces there may change, but the
cast of characters will be the same - the "hookers"
and the "snaggers", the "reelers" and .the
"draggers". You can laugh at this but look who caught
the fish.

The meeting opened in
song and praYer. Mrs.
Stella Shell, gave the
scripture reading and led
the ' prayer for.
missionaries, especially
the ones we help support,
both at home and in
foreign lands.
A beautiful duet was
presented by the ladies
from Egmondville,
followed by a reading by
Fishing slow ' -
this week
Hook and line fishing
was slow this week after
the recent rain and cold
weather. However, one
sportsman landed two
brown trout at the North
Pier on Monday morning
we have been told.
It was so foggy on the
lake Sunday that local
fisherman Ed Siddal was
summoned twice to take
his radar equipped tug
out and guide two other
fishing boats back into
the harbour as they could
not find the entrance to
the river.
Janet, Talbot. Our girls
Trio, Louann Nicholson,
Deb Talbot,. and Teresa
Radley sang with Mrs.
Muriel Snider • ac-
companying.

writes for the Truth
Aflame paper published
by the London Baptist
Seminary, where her
husband is president. She
is a very busy person with
a family of six children to
care for and a tight
speaking schedule.
Her inspiring message
was a challenge to each
woman there to: read her
Bible every day, spen-
ding at least as much
time at it as she does in
reading the . newspaper
and watching the
television and to read at
least one good Christiane''
book a week. ,She gave
four important points on
how to read our Bibles.
Prayerfully, carefully,
systematically and
believing.
Mrs. Mary' Keys
thanked the speaker, who
so willingly gives of her
time and talents. to serve
God. Mrs. Cathi Cullen
sang a beautiful old song
and then closed the
meeting -with prayer.

lovely organ and piano
