Nothing’s |
wrong with

using bait |
Dear Sir: .
Regarding . Rob.

Brown’s column

issue of Terrace Standard.
Again we seem to be de-
bating the bait issue.

“Broom- «
‘hall On Bait” in the June 8

Why don’t we debate the

fly fishing issue?
After all I have read
Broomhall’s and your posi-

_ tion that bait is just too pro-
ductive and question the eth- “

ics of.using it?
In. early May, I myself
was fly fishing a minnow

"pattern on the Lakelse River
' with a friend.

It was great!

Between the two of us we
landed and released over 50
trout in about four hours.

_ Thave never experienced .
this kind of success, even.

with bait.
One could argue that fly
fishing is too productive.

Should we be consider-

ing restrictions in. the way
this method of fishing is
conducted? |

Why not ban the use of

sinking tip lines?

As you stated, “Sport

‘fishing implies a reasonable

challenge”.
What is a reasonable
challenge?
~ Where do we draw the
line?
Who decides this?

sockeye?

' Should ‘we be consider-
~ ing banning fly fishing for
them?
. After all, it is - believed. :

What about fly fishing for

much. >

the majority of sockeye
are hooked due to flossing?
I would, not want to see

such restrictions implement-

ed, I’m sure you agree.

We as anglers are ali out
to catch fish and experience
nature, isn’t that why we buy
our licenses and go?

You are a fly fisherman,
that is the only way. you pre-
fer to angle.

Have some consideration

and respect for those who

wish to legally angle in a
different manner as you. «

- I take insult to the com-
ment in your column “bait

fishing does not meet other.

demands of the present day

sportsman’s code - fairness,

decency and generosity.”
As I stated in the past, the

fly: fisherman vs. bait fisher-
“man and visa versa is not the

approach I want to take. .
Yet it seems to be the di-
rection you want to go.
I believe that we as’ an-

glers must stand together »
‘and address the real issues _. |

that currently threaten our

‘fish stocks.

Standing together we can
make a difference.

the area is sloped for proper drainage. Next apply a:

seed. Rake the seed and the fertilizer into the soil.

Once the seed gets wet the first time you must keep |

it wet until it has established. .If it dries out it will die

_very quickly in the first couple of months. If you want

to have a nice lawn then you will need to fertilize lots,
3-6 times per year, and water consistently, =.
