SUGAR
AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
Smiley goes f ishan."
First trout—la—big trip of the
Year is like a'good spring ton-
ic: It cleanses you' physically
and `Spiritgaliy. And leaves you
exhausted.
I had mine last Sattairslay.
The important things in going
after 'speckled trout, of course,
is •the careful,. planning. There's
no use to it at all if you just
.•,throw your fishing gear in the
car, ankgo out to some stream
where all the amateurs angle,
and toss in a line. You're liable
to come home with a creel full
of, fish• if you go at at in this
haphazard way.
• No First of all, you select a •
fishing companion. This, to a
real angler,, is just a bit• less:
important .,,than choosing a
mate for life. You want a de-
pendable 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 in the
bush, but they need an organi-
zational mind d 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-
gIer gees floundering off in
the dark, fishes like a fool
until noon, then is whacked
for the day... Just about then,
the wily, . nature angler, forti-
fie Lwith 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: -
10.30, 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,
I gloated. We cached the lunch
and began working 'up the
stream. I like that word we
anglers use. "Working." • You
couldn't hire a man to do it for
$80 an hour. Slash' in` the face•
from an alder. Hole in the boot
from .a snag. Slide from a log
and eh -oh -oh -oh as you hit that
spring. -fed water. Lose , a boot
in, the mud. Scratch- hands to
a , bioddy mess on jagged
branches. , .
But it's- ,all worth it if the
trout are biting. 'And, • boy,
Were they • biting! They ,were
bitinti Each other on the neck,
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 Tool 'above the beaver
dam. The sure-fire .hole.
We fished. Hard. A big mal-
lard hen popped into the pond,
secure in the knowledge that it
wasn't duck season, looked us
over, cackled, with laughter
and took off.
We fished. Harder. 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. $,fid-
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-
der.
That did it. We left,' But
there was no point,, said my
mate, in taking the long, tor-
tuous trail back down the
stream, through that heavy
slash. So, 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, both
so thick you, had to crawl most
of the time. The circle turned
out to' be the two long sides of
an "isosceles triangle.' Two
hours later, we hit the hydro
road right on the nose. Except
.that the nose had moved about
a mile due east.
My first trout trip of the
season. And believe me — I
don't care if Mrs_ Richard Bur-
ton wants . to go along next
time — it's my last. There
have to be easier ways• to get a
coronary.
