8-2 - THE LIBERAL. Wednesday Two wins for B/a ck - Thunderbirds down Barrie Colts Different story It was a different story in Barrie Sunday night as the birds came out walking and ended up on the wrong end of fourâ€"zip with the Colts scoring all of Barrie‘s Jim Angus did manage to get one goal at 19:05 but it was too little, too late. forechecked them to death Assuming that this has been the case with you, or that you are new at ice-fishing, let's take a look at some of the methods used by seasoned fishermen. It is surprising how many anglers are ‘left out in the cold‘ once they have to do all this for themself. Catching fish through the ice is not too difficult when someone else cuts the hole, baits the hook and sets the tackle as so many commercial operators do. A hole cut through the ice out in the open will give you the best fishing. Not that I dislike warm huts, but you can make new holes until you find where the fish are feeding. A fish-eyed view of an average ice cutting operation for one of Once you have cut the hole, pile all the ice and snow to one side, remove all the little twigs from ' a thin branch, and stick it into the sn0w at an angle over the hole. (fig. 1) If available, use evergreen, leaving some needles on the end to act as a flag. Hang your readied line over this branch, tighten the line and when the bait is taken you will be able to see any movement from some distance. Whitefish are bottom feeders. A small emerald shiner on a spreader is your best bait. This spreader is a lead weight with three short metal arms and leader attached. Set this tackle right on the bottom and tighten your line (fig. 2) so your branch or tip~up is bent down slightly. When a Whitefish bites, the branch or tipup moves upward rather than down. Pick up the line and set the hook ever so slightly, as the fish have a very soft mouth and setting the hook hard will result in pulling the hook out and losing the the fish. Walleye Walleye feed at any depth but are usually taken about two feet over the bottom.

Ice fishing. Here’s how you do it. ice, use medium size emerald shiners. If the water is clear and you can see bottom, other minnows can be used. The line with a lead weight on the end has one or two leaders at- tached. I like to hook one leader at about two feet over the bottom and then another about five higher. After a few nibbles you will decide at which depth the fish are feeding, and then move the second leader closer. (fig. 3) Lake trout Fishing for lake trout is done with live bait or with a handline and an ice-fishing spoon. If you use bait, use basically the same method as with walleye, but use larger minnows. Schoolfish Remember, walleye are school fish and you might fish all day without a hit, and then get your limit within twenty minutes with the action st0pping as abruptly as it began. Set the bottom leader to about five feet from bottom and the second about halfway up to the surface. Be certain the line is well secured as lake trout hit fast and hard. Lures If you want to use artificial lures, get a Williams Whitefish or a similar lure designed specifically for ice- fishing and a short ice-fishing rod. Begin by letting your lure right to the bottom and then lifting your arm straight up as far as you can. The lure will look like an injured fish heading for the surface. When you‘ve pulled up, let the lure flutter back down, looking as if the fish has just about had it, and this is when you usually get the hit. Repeat this five times, then reel about five feet up. Continue this until your lure is at the surface. ' Don’t give up The main thing with icefishing is that you must not give up. Many lake trout are taken just inches from the ice and many walleye have hit the frypan because it grabbed a minnow just as the angler, about to give up, pulled his line up. Scott Howson got one back from Ernie Takeuchi and Rob Browning in the second and added a second one in the third. Ernie Takeuchi got the final goal. 7 The'birds are idle until next Monday night at Thornhill Community Centre when they take on Midland. them in the first 10 minutes CHRISTMAS PLANTS ‘- COME SEE Alex Eberspaecher OUR AND AE 16 Richmond Hill Cadillac Baif Peewees lost a squeaker Friday night t_o a' tough‘ V {ough Newmarket team by a score of 2-1.
