when the first Mies began to
hatch out of the stream, there
couldn't have been more than
two hours of daylight left. A J.
Johnson and I sat on a high
rock overlooking the stream
and watched the trout begin to
rise in the pools and riffles
below us.
"Let's go catch a fish," said
Johnson after we had watched
for a few minutes.
We left the rock and went
downstream a few hundred
yards, then waded across and
came back up to the pool we
had been watching. There were
at least half a dozen trout
rising in the pool, and the
"hatch" of mayflies and stone

In this generally affluent na
tion, the "teen-ager, and es
pecially the teen-age girl, is
the worst fed member of the
household", says Dr. R. W.
Hillman of State U. of New
York. "Mainly from lack of
dietary education, with em
phasis on foods of little or
no calories," he said, "75%
of our teen-age girls may be

flies was well underway, and
heavy by Tar Heel standards.
By that, I mean we could see
dozens of flies on the water
and in the air. In other parts of
the country, where streams are
richer, a heavy hatch is
measured not by dozens of
insects, but by thousands.
Even so, we expected some
good fishing. Both of us tried
several of our favorite flies.
They were ignored.
"I don't understand it," 1
said finally. "The flies we are
using seem to be about the
same size and color as the
naturals. I've run into selective
trout before, but this is
ridiculous."
"See if you can catch one of
the flies, and maybe we can see
what we're doing wrong,"
suggested AJ.
I put my rod down and
began to try to snare one of
the flies as it flew past. The
most common fly appeared to
be a small yelluwish mayfly,
although there were also some
large stoneflies hatching.
Finally, 1 caught several of the
mayflies. Our mistake was
apparent at once.
"Look here," I called to A J.
"These flies look cream or
yellow in the air, but they
aren't. This one has an olive
body and slate gray wings. I'm
just guessing, but ITI bet it's
one of the blue - winged
olives."
We began to search through
our fly boxes, looking for
anything that might
approximate the natural
mayfly I'd caught. I found
only one artificial fly that was
even close. It was tied with
grizzly hackle and had a pale
green body, but it was too
large.
I took my nail clippers and
snipped off enough hackle to
make the fly appear the same
size as the naturals, then
knotted it on my leader and
began to fish again.
This time, the same fish that
had ignored seven different
flies in ? row earlier took the
fly on the first float. Soon, 1
had taken four other trout -
three of them fat browns and
one a small rainbow.
Meanwhile, A.J. was having no
luck even though he was
fishing over the same fish with
different flies.
1 offered to let him use my
fly, but he wanted to continue
trying to find something else
the trout would hit. He never
did. Without the green body,
his flies just didn't match the
natural insect, and the trout
were having none of thern. It
was one of those rare times
when trout in North Carolina
decide to be selective. Most of
the time, they eat like swine.
They take what they can get
when they can get it, and the
angler's choice is not nearly so
critical as his technique for
fishing it.
As it began to get dark, we
went downstream a ways, and
began fishing another pool.
The same flies were hatching
on it.
'There are some good native
brown trout in this pool, and
since you seem to have found
the right combination, I want
to see you catch one of them,
said A.J., declining my
invitation to use the fly that
was taking fish.
On three straight casts, I
took three trout - the largest a
handsome 15 - inch brown
which I decided to keep. By
then, it was full dark and we
left the stream and went back
to the cabin. When I took the
trout into the cabin, he was
still very much alive. I ran the
sink full of water, and put the
trout in it where it swam
around while we fixed supper.
After supper, I was filled
with both steak and remorse.
The trout - still swimming in
the sink -- was just too pretty
to keep. I got a bucket and
carried him to the creek in
front of the cabin and turned
him loose.
"I'm glad you did that," said
A.J. when I got back. "I know
you're crazy about trout
fishing, but I'd Irate to think
I'd catch you fishing in my
sink."
"You will call upon mc and
conic and pray to me, and I
will hear you." (Jeremiah
29 .12, RSV)
Dialing the telephone
number I wanted. I heard in
response; ""This is a recording.
When you hear the signal,
please leave your message and
your call will be returned."
The signal sounded and 1
began to talk hesitant
ly-hesitantly because I realized
that no one was hearing me on
the other end of the line.
What would happen if God
dealt with us in this way? How
would we feel if our prayers
were answered by a recording?
Such is not the case, for we
believe, as Jesus believed, that
the God who made us is still
available to hear us. and upon
hearing us He is prepared to
respond. God who numbers the
hair of our heads and is aware
of the fall of a single sparrow is
not a God who whould leave a
recorder to do the work of
listening to the prayers of His
children.
l-or the nonexistence ot a
divine recording. I am
thankful. For the existence of
a personal, listening God, 1 am
grateful.
PRAYER; Father, we rejoice
that You are always available
to listen to us and willing to
respond to our needs. Most
especially, we are gratified that
You responded to our need by
sending Your Son, Jesus Christ,
to give us new life. Amen.

1 he Ciypsy moth is a 9erious
threat to our shade, orchard
and forest trees. In order to
slow its entry and prevent its
establishment we need to know
of its presence in the various
areas of our state as soon as
possible. The cooperation and
assistance of every citizen is
needed. Traps have been set in
Hoke County and will be
checked on a regular basis. The
larvae or worm stage is
identified by a red, white and
blue color. If something of this
nature is found, please notify
your county agent or bring
some to the office.
Hoke County farmers that
hire any labor should become
familiar with requirements of a
Federal law known as the
Williams-Steiger Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970.
The Act provides for
mandatory penalties of up to
S1 ,000 for each serious
violation.
Farmers are required to keep
posted a 10 x 16 inch safety
poster. The law also requires
that a "log of occupation
injuries and illnesses" must be
available for inspeclion even
though none have occurred.
Employees are required to
keep accurate records of work
related illnesses and injuries
and report death within 48
hours to regional offices. The
address is Regional Labor
Office, Room 311, 1371
Peachtree Street, N.E. Aitanta,
Georgia 30309. The records
must be kept for a period of
not less than five years
following the end of the
calendar year to which they
relate.
The annual membership
meeting of Rue-cured Tobacco
Cooperative Stablization
Corporation will be held on
Friday, June 30, 1972 at 10:00
A.M. in Raleigh Memorial
Auditorium.
The principal speaker will be
Congressman W.R. (Bob)
Poage, Chairman, House
Committee on Agriculture.
Farmers are encouraged to
attend and hear the ideas
expressed by the Chairman. It
is important that he knows
that farmers are concerned
about their tobacco program.
Tickets for the luncheon are
available from the County
Extension Offioe.
