Clinton News-Record, 1985-4-10, Page 20THIS ORIGINAL DOCUMENT IS 1N VERY POOR CONDITION Sports CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10. 1985—Pagel7 ' Naturally Speaking Better . fishing Fishermen can help themselves to better fishing by spending a few moments improv- ®ing habitat each time they go out. While -this is true of almost any kind of fishing, it is especially effective when applied to brook trout streams. The typical brook trout stream in this part of the country is a small, fast flowing, cold water creek. The things it must provide for the trout are food, shelter and spawning beds. Natural food is difficult to' supply to trout and spawning channels are expensive to build and maintain, but the angler can and should help the little brookies out by creating little pockets of habitat for them. Anyone who has fished the tiny streams of Ontario knows that log jams invariably hold at least one nice sized speck along' with several smaller ones. These jams are also relatively easy to build, and a half hour spent creating one on your first outing of the year will probably reward you with several fish in the pan during the course, of the season. The easiest way to build a jam is to gather up as much fallen timber as you can find in the immediate area, keeping an eye out for an especially stout piece to useas the key log. When you find your "key'', 'wedge it firmly into place, either straddling the creek, or with one end firmly secured on the bank and the other in the water. This, is the most important part of the structure so it pays to take your time here. Keep in mind that as more material is added to the struc- ture, more pressure is brought to bear on this particular log. It is more than a little frustrating to have a jam almost completed, then have it break away and go floating off downstream. ' Once your key log is in place and secure, the rest of -the work. can begin. The next few pieces of wood should be jammed against By Steve Coke the log with the idea of holding back the rest of the material. It is then a simple matter of adding more branches and logs to the pile until the desired size is reached.4nvariably some of the branches will work loose and float away on you, but by adding a little each time you fish the stream, you can create an effective and permanent home for a large trout. In the late fall, when the water is low, several log jams can be started quite simply for the following year. This involves little more than setting the the "key" logs in place. If the logs are set properly and firm- ly, they will catch debris washed down in the spring freshets creating instant hotspots for the coming year's fishing. The serious trout fisherman also knows that brook trout like to "lie" in the smooth water just in front of boulders when feeding and in the slack tail eddies just behind when resting. While it's difficult to manoeuver large boulders into position in the middle of a stream, the same effect can be obtained by piling up more manageable size stones at the head and tail end of riffle areas. One of the big advantages of these structures is that they are far less noticeable than log jams and can provide some pretty exclusive fishing for the builder even o streams that receive a lot of heavy pressure. One of the best things about stream im- provement is that you are very, very unlike- ly to get any complaints about doing it. I personally do not know of any landowner , who would object to an offer to "help in- crease the number of trout in his stream", and that is precisely what creating habitat does. The next time you are out fishing, keep an eye open for areas that could stand a lit- tle improvement. You may even find yourself taking a half hour break from fishing.

The kinds of activities that build muscular endurance don't necessarily build muscular strength. Answers 1. False - Strength, the greatest force a muscle can exert, is only one measure of how well a muscle is working. Other measures are muscular endurance and muscular elasticity. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions. For example, when a person saws a piece of wood. Elasticity is the ability of a muscle to stretch easily and return to its original shape. Building good muscle fitness means developing all three: strength, endurance and elasticity. 2. False - Weights and other specialized equipment are great for isolating muscles and for working against high resistance. But ordinary floor exercises, stretching .and calisthenics that work with the body's own weight can also give an excellent and complete muscle workout. 3. True - There are actually two different kinds of fibres in every muscle, fast -twitch and slow -twitch. Generally speaking, fast twitch fibres contribute to strength and slow -twitch fibres to muscular endurance. Because different kinds of .exercises use different fibres, the component of muscle fitness you develop depends on the kind, of exercise you do.. Fitness experts call this "specificity of training." Muscles working against high resistance in lifting a heavy weight, for example, build strength. Muscles working repeatedly against relatively low resistance, resistance low enough to allow 10 repetitions or more, build endurance. Records set ® from page 16.
