Local Businessman Lands Big Rainbow Local businessman Fred Downs isn’t handing out any alibis for his latest fishing trip. Last Sunday he lauded a 20-pound Rainbow on Ques- nel Lake after a half-hour struggle. When the big fellow first struck, Fred thought he was going to lose his son overboard. Fred Jr., is nine years old and was holding the roa when the fish struck. He was drag- ged to the back of the boat before his father took over. For those interested in what will catch the big fellows, Fred was using a flat fish and had about 100 feet of line out. This isn’t the usual lure used on Quesnel, but Fred had fished deep the-day before with the rec- ommended hardware without any success and decided to change his tactics to go after smaller surface feeders, life of} | Tribune Plant — Closed for Week There will be no issue of The’ Tribune next week. i In order to work in adequate staff holidays, The Tribune will continue a custom started two years ago and close the publishing plant down for one week, effective August 17. ‘The plant will re-open Aug-~ ust 24, and the next issue of : | The Tribune will be published August 27.
