’ + Anglers in this part of the country who would like to tie into a really big fish don't have to go thousands of miles for a marlin or sailfish, They can try for sturgeon right here, in rivers such as the Fraser or Columbia. Sturgeon fishing is a spe- cialty and these huge fish usually “aren't caught inciden- tally to other species. They may be hooked incidentially, but often are also lost as these monsters break line not de- signed for fish in the 100-pound range and above. Sturgeon move slowly, scouring the bottom with a big: mouth that is like a vaccuum Herb Williams S cleaner. They can move along the bottom or wait in holes where they check out anything edible that floats by them, Since they are large, they need a lot of food, so eat much of the time. One good bait is smelt, although herring and other small fish work well too, These should be rigged up “backwards” from the way bait Blueberry Recreation Looks at Coming Events Blueberry Recreation Release Reports on winter acti- vities and upcoming Blueberry events were included in the regular monthly meeting of the Blueberry Recreation held re- cently. The commission contri- buted $100 to the cost of a ski outing for Grades 5, 6 and 7 pupils of Blueberry School for a trip to Red Mountain last month, organized by Dave | Mason. Several bingos were held in the activity room of the Blueberry School with a fairly good attendance of children and adults, Terry Cormier is again the Blueberry representative to Regional Recreation Commis- sion No, 1. He will be attending the West Kootenay Recreation Conference in Creston coming up this weekend, A Flea Market will be held in the Park a the end of April, for The tennis nets will be going up next week and acti- vities starting around the courts. Lessons for the younger children will get underway during the spring break. Hope- fully, there will be classes for teens and adults on fish are hooked for salmon, This means the head of the bait will be pointing downstream when your rig is in the water. ' Sturgeon take a small fish head ‘first, but often take any bait slowly. Eels, crawdads, shrimp and night crawlers are good bait also. As you watch your rod tip, you will see it bounce up and down gently. This is caused by the sturgeon picking up the bait with care, as if checking it out. This can go on for some time and is a battle of nerves for the angler, who has to decide when to set the hook. When you're getting bounces such as this, lower your rod tip to the water, take up slack carefully. Then when your rod takes a deeper bounce, set the hook as hard as you can. If you've timed it right, your rod will snap back down hard and you're into one of these tongh fish. Sturgeon have a reputa- tion for being slow, but because they are so big, a single flip of that huge tail can send them many yards through the water, peeling line from your reel. I've- seen 200-pounders come to the surface and clear the water like a trout, Sturgeon anglers use line ranging from 50 to 100 pounds in test, with a stiff rod to match. Some anchor in boats over sturgeon holes, others cast from shore with a heavy weight and let their bait work in the current close to the bottom. : + 8 Outdoor Quiz:* What per- centage of the total use of land purchased for hunting is by hunters? Answer: Studies show that hunters use the lands which have been paid for by funds they contribute between nine and 25 per cent of the time. The rest of the time they are used by people who have not con- tributed to their purchase or maintenance, and evenings later on. Dean Carter, the liaison between the commission and the irrigation district, was pre- sent and talked about park upkeep as related to the board. It has been reported to the commission that youngsters have been soliciting funds door- to-door ostensibly under the direction of the commission. The recreation commission as- sumes no responsibility in this matter and is not involved in collecting money in Blueberry for the commission or any designated charity. Several vacancies exist on the recreation commission di- this time. Any anyone interested: to dispose of all the winters’ accumulation of trinkets and treasures. community-minded Blueberry person interested in helping out should contact Lynda Carter. » MINOR. . _BASEBALL (Recreation News // Season Wrap-Up .
