Fishing Lines & Lures by Old Hickory « The Eastern Lake. Ontario and Trout Association met at Mexico BOCES on July 17, with over 50 members present. This is really a live wire outfit with so many fishing stories floating around that it was hard to keep up with all of them. So, Til try and just pick out the most important fishing secrets. We had several of the very charming wives at this meeting which we are always pleased to see. This mutual interest always adds to the stability of any organization. To get to the fishing, the report from the salmon hunt held out of Oswego by Charlie Ames: He said there were about 20 boats signed up, but several more participated, and there were over 40 chinooks taken that day, ranging in size all the way from small jacks to respectable fish 15 to 25 pounds. They were from 120440-ft. dowr trolling about three miles per hov.i on Dodgers, with evil eyes and 44s behind the Dodgers. Dick Ga , ic . reported he and his family \r < c been fishing the tournament .rail and they did real well fishing for salmon by fishing the marks on the graff instead of fishing straight temperature. Sometimes I have found that a combination of the two is really effective. Everyone had: tales of catching, fish, 12^ to 15 pound lake trout are common* and some browns over 14 pounds have also been taken, but not a lot of them. It didn't come up at this meeting, but I know that we are all with the same opinion, that we need more brown trout to take -some of the pressure off of the lake trout. If something has to be sacrificed, cut down on the Cohos, for a two-week fishery, as that is what we get from them if we are lucky. They just aren't worth it to us. Bill Thomas' boat caught a nice king off of Alcan. I guess the final weight was around 33 pounds. When he first caught it, I was talking to him on the radio. I was sure he had at least a 40-pound fish, but it was a bit deceiving. It was the fattest and shortest for its weight class that I have ever seen. This was just as close to a football chinook as you would ever see. Maggie Rathje is setting it up at the Fish Wish Taxidermy and I have to take a golden lake trout over to her today that was taken last week on the \Bandito\. She is mounting it for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Tony gave us this beautiful six- pound pure golden fish when we were checking his and Connels Raadis catch when they returned to Oswego from their morning charters. I just happened to be in the Fish and Wildlife offices at the time, so I went over to give Roger Berkstedt a hand. The ''bandito\ and the \Misty Blues\ combined catches for the day totaled over 30 fish, but mostly lake trout, There were five small kings and a couple brown trout. \This is just another example of what we mean when we say our brown trout can't stand the present year-round fishing pressure. The ELOSTA Fall Derby is August 3 at Mexico Point. The cost for niembers is. $5~for4he.Derby- and $5 per person for the picnic afterward, small children can come to the picnic free. And this picnic is a Jerry Russo special. They have food enough for 150 people. They have everything a clambake Would have except the clams. There will be all kinds of fishing prizes given out after the derby which have been donated by local stores, tackle shops and anyone who wishes to contribute. All Con- tributors will be in my column after the derby and one of my jobs is to collect the prizes for the derby, so I'll be visiting our local businesses shortly. The only drawback to winning first money in an ELOSTA derby is that next year you are automotically Derby Chairman. We discussed the new Mexico Point light, and although it is now in operation, we don't consider itis bright enough. This was supposed to be a Coast Guard specified light, but for $700 we should have at least as bright a light as one you can buy for $35 for your yard. From Catfish, it's hard for me to sort it out from the other shore lights. We're going to look into this shortly. I wrote in a couple of previous articles about the complaints I had recevied on the channelization of the Salmon River, and how the DEC at least partially agreed with me and recently required some rebuilding of the damage done. Now I am receiving questions from a small group as to why I haven't written about the damage done to the Little Salmon as a result of the digging being done in the Mexico Bay Company. In the first place, this is the first I have heard about any damage here. The claim is that there were hundreds of fish killed and the bass and^bullhead spawn were wiped out. I don't know about the alleged fish kill, but if there had been one, I'm sure I'd have heard about it, as my grandson Chris is on the river very frequently, and I have fished the Little Salmon long before any of these complaining individuals even knew there was such a place as Texas. In the 20s when I was fishing with my cousin, who lived right on the river, we used to catch bass on the spawning beds, between the two bridges, back of Jackie Helpers', and apparently the DEC wasn't too worried about either the bass or the bullheads' spawn as on one of our trips to Cortland they told us that on Dick's permit, there would be no special digging time set forth. Apparently, when the permit was issued, a standard matter of policy was used and the usual digging time was included. This Marina is really needed, and for that matter, many more. We have so few good lake access sites, we have to use all we have to their utmost. So, let's end this petty bickering and work together for the good of our soon-to-be world's best fishery. See you on the water, making use of it. OLD HICKORY Stocking Offered Time is running out for the Soil and Water Conservation District's Bass Stocking Program to any interested pond owners. The species offered this year are Largemouth Black Bass fingerlings at accost of $60 per $100 and Fathead Minnows at a cost of $15 per $100. The minnows are stocked as feeder fish for the bass; but bass will survive and grow at a slower rate, when stocked alone. ' When stocking bass and minnows it is recommended that a ratio of 200 bass to 1,000 minnows be reached. This stocking ratio is based upon a pond of one acre in size.
