The Huron Expositor, 1985-09-25, Page 5Hunters, anglers
want management
of muskellunge
Ontario's largest provincial conservation
association, the Ontario Federation of
Anglers and Hunters (O.F.A.H. ), has asked
the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
(0.M.N,R) to improve its management of
muskellunge. In a 10 -page brief, the
Federation has made 18 specific recom-
mendations, including harvest regulation
changes, better stocking programs, in-
creased public education, and more re-
search..
The muskellunge is a prize game fish. It
has trophy status due to its fighting ability,
large size, and unique challenge to catch. It
is important in most areas of the province
and is thought to be in danger if action isn't
taken now. In various areas, too many
muskies are being kept, they are being
harvested before they reach spawning age,
their habitat is being destroyed, and they are
being displaced by pike.
After discussions at zone meetings across
the province, O.F.A. H. members approved •
the brief and its recommendations. Among
them are raising the size limit to 38 inches,
identifying and protecting all major spawn-
ing areas, modernizing hatcheries and
rearing the young to 8 or 10 inches before
stocking, reducing harvest levels and
establishing trophy waters. In addition, the
Federation has asked that all muskellunge
killed by commercial fishermen be turned
over to the 0. M. N. R. for research purposes.
The 50,000 -member sportsmen's con-
servation association has submitted its brief PUSHED OUT OF REACH—The Seaforth District High School Senior Girls basketball team

Golf season is far from over
The last day of summer was a beaut!.
Hazy sunshine and a warm breeze made
marry golfers forget that only 24 hours before
it was feeling more like Grey Cup weather.
With fall's arrival we will undoubtedly have
unpredictable weather - gorgeous one day
and miserable the .next. However, golf
season is far from over. You will have to get
here right after school or work in order to get
your round in before dark. You will also have
to dress for a variety of weather conditions
and you will have to do some warm ups
before belting out that first ball. If you do
manage these things then your golf season
will be extended well into the football and
hockey seasons.
W hat to wear, how to warm up, and a
variety of odd weather strategies are
important to your enjoyment of golf in the
fall. Those autumn leaves are blown off the
trees by some high winds so let's look first at
windy weather play. In a breeze, swing with
ease. Most average golfers tend to lunge at
the ball especially when playing into a
headwind. This increases the chances of
getting less solid contact with the ball and
increases the chances of hitting a slice or
hook. Any error made is maximized under
windy conditions, The key is to make solid
contact and to counteract the effects of the
headwind by taking extra club. The longer
club, with less degree of loft, will not only
help to compensate for the wind but will let
the ball travel on a lower traiectory thus

minimizing the effect of the wind. Some
golfers recommend teeing the ball a bit
lower. However if you are going to
overcompensate for this by hitting down too
much or opening the face of the club, this
strategy can backfire as the ball soars higher
and the wind catches it
In a crosswind the average golfer should
not try to hit fades and draws into the wind
and plan for the wind to cancel the curving
effects of the spin, Unless you are an
advanced player this technique can be
costly. Your best bet is to aim well to the side
of the target and allow the wind to carry your
straight shot on line.
Tailwinds are always interesting. For
some reason everyone gets up to the tee and'
thinks they'll hit it out of sight with all that
help. The result is often a poorly hit ball that
never really takes advantage of the aiding
wind. Solid contact is once again the key
factor.
If you never hit your driver well, why drag
it out and dust it off just because you think
you can knock it on the green with a tail
wind' Chances are the ball may never get off

the ground and a lot of helpthe wind will be
then. Select the club you fel you need, tee
the ball up normally and not too high, (or
you'll sky it) and swing solidly. The resulting
shot will be straight and well out of the
fairway. Playing the wind can make your
autumn golfing not only more interesting but
an educational experience. Don't be afraid of
the wind, use it to your advantage.
The Men's' Night closing was held on
Saturday with 32 golfers competing in the 18
hole competition followed by a steak
barbecue. Closest to the pins were won by
