MAK1N" MACONi
? Sports Rounds
By J. P. BRADY
Sportsmen, sportswomen, and
sportskiddies. Sunday saw the
tfout season take off like a
mink-coated government worker
without a bill of sale and the
catch reports have been filing
their way in here fairly rapid
ly, i ' one can consider one re
port rapid. But that one shooter
of info is worth 50 others.
Bryan Setser, Wayah Refuge
assistant, dropped by The Press
>tfip? i>nd filled our ears with
the best true story on trout
since Uncle Dudley pounded our
ear drums with a tale about a
50-pounder that pushed his boat
faster than a 22 hoss outboard
and wore the bottom out of the
dingy from friction.
,wr Setser related that on
Sunday morn 32 men and one ,
woman. Mis. Jess Shope, dang
-d bait in the Rough Fork and
Branch streams, in the |
Wayah area, with the following
results. They yanked out a total
of 264 trout. To be still more
specific, and to fill up more
space, they caught 263 brook
trout and one lonely little rain
bow.
Npw if that ain't haulin' 'em
in!
You know, sometimes, unfor
tunately, The Press has to crop
off- bits of a story to make It
fit in the chase. (The old adage.
'Don't force it use a bigger
hammer', somehow doesn't work
too we'.l around a newspaper
office). Consequently, therefore,
ind whereas (we're determined
to have a. full column this
week) in the trout feature on
the front face of the April 12
issue' we had to cut a priceless
piece of information. Namely,
where all 01 the restocking in
the wildlife areas has been go
ing on. And, the Rough Ford
and Camn Branch streams
opened their doors wide to 400
trout. So, asking the figure at
face value? the Sunday catch ?
we find that there are still
some* 136 trout lurking in said
streams awaiting your pleas
ure. I
This column would be more
than grateful if your fishermen
would shove aside modesty for
the remainder of the trout sea
son and come in to The Press
office and br&g on your catches.
At least it would let us know
that this column is worth some
thing In the sports line. One
'Constant Reade-' informed us
on the QT that this column at
least served one purpose. It
makes nice and roaches sign
suicide pacts.
Incidentally, if your catches
are the least bit unusual The
Press photographer will make
your picture ? free ? for nothing!
And then print it for the bene
fit of putting a rin? of truth
to "our fish story In later years
While on the sublect of 'ish

little dope on the?e conna-a

they are the "cats" and have
more snap than month-old
chewing gum. Those who have
made the switch from metal
rods to the glass jobs say that
metal rods are going to become
as extinct as the dodo bird. If
anyone would like to comment
any further on the deal let us
hear from you.
Well, I guess this fishing stuff
is really expanding. It uster be
that only sporting poods stores

in Macon County the trend if
fo- every store, regardless of its
line of merchandise, to have a
healthy stock of gear bn hand.
