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 to the Honorable Vince Kerrio, Minister of a• a oitied against a team from Stratford on Thursday.

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 N THE GREENS by Carolanne Doig 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 BEST DEALS IN TQV�M ! 1 EQUIPMENT LIMITED C r Sealforth 527-0120 a 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.
