Having studied fish during my many years of angling, I made quite a discovery a year or so ago. Take any gamefish. put them into a large aquarium or pool and feed them a minnow at a time, and the fish will surely prosper. However, should you give several minnows at the same time, they will not feed and actually will starve without ever eating. After asking several people about this. I have found that they have reached the same con- clusion. Now, all we must do is find out how to apply this to fishing. I have often observed rather large pike and bass swimming amongst all kinds of little fish without even looking at them. However, if you use a lure several times the size of the available food. the fish will strike imâ€" mediately. The Monday games will be at Crosby Park, Tuesdays at the Town Park, Wednesdays at Crosby and Boyle Park (formerly Pearson Park), and Fridays at the Town Park and Crosby Avenue. This will be Ortiz’ second full year as head of the expanded league. On taking a fish to lunch RUSTPROOFING NOW IN RICHMOND HILL Grand Opening SPECIAL! See Page A2 for Perhaps the lesson to learn here is to use much larger baits as we do normally. or switch to another bait. If the lake is full of minnows, we simply should try leeches or frogs. 1 have seen suckers and catfish taken on spinners and musky on worms. I even watched a fellow catch a four-pound brook trout on a piece of Swiss cheese while my fly floated right over it. Why do so few of us fish for pike with top-water lures? I have yet to see a large pike who could withstand the temptation of grab- bing one of those large artificial floating muskrats made of hairi When presenting a lure or bait, of course, one should try to do it as MONDAY - FRIDAY - 9 AM. - 3:30 PM.

I Fish live in competition with each other, as well as with many other creatures. They also have enemies and are naturally wary critters. Experiment The next time you are able to see your fish in the water, try a little ex- periment. Cast the bait (a hy would be best served) in front of fish. Very seldom will the fish hit the bait but he will swim in for a closer examination, and then, more often than not, will shy away. I believe there are two reasons for this; he can then see if there is any competition around, and secondly. he is naturally suspicious of some morsel falling in front of him. Tennis Professional: |an Griffin AURORA HIGHLANDS GOLF CLUB. 192 YONGE ST. SOUTH. AURORA 727-9449 - 881-2737 FITNESS ob- the The eyes of a fish are positioned so he can see in front and to the sides. Best view is at a ninety degree angle to the eye. However, as the head tapers toward the front, there is a blind spot over the tail. Picture a pie with one piece missing. This blind spot near the tail is the missing piece. If any bait, especially a topwater lure or a fly should be cast into this blind spot the fish will sense this if it is close by. As there is much competition around. a fish can't take the chance of turning around in order to eye the bait more closely. Nine out of ten times, the fish will simply swirl around swallowing the bait as quickly as he can. A good fly fisherman will tell you that. for this reason, one should never present a lure or fly in front of a fish. If all this makes sense to you and you would like Backyard to do some experimenting yourself, I suggest that you get your rod and reel out and begin by prac- tising in your backyard. The best lure will not catch fish if you are unable to place it in the proper spot. Instill the fitness habit into your children. Get them involved in sports or activity. For a better Life- style for all the family. try bicycling or skiing.
