The combination of perfect weather and plenty of fish proved too much for some of the "tired business men" of Highlands and set them to dig ging bait and unsnarling their lines. One young man here, who unfor tunately ventured out minus his fish ing tackle discovered an unusually tempting and "fishy" looking pool. Being of a resourceful nature he promptly cut a ' pole from a nearby tree, dug some bait, unlaced his shoes and tied the shoe strings together, borrowed a straight pin from a friend which he bent and baited and. hauled in a trout ! Another fish tale that is being re lated is that a party here who, when fishing, felt a mighty tug on his line, ,and exclaimed, "Bet that's a big one !"
