—Let’s Go Fishing—

BASS ANGLERS ! MAY PROFIT BY TROUT METHOD Both Fish Take Food of Same Type; Shift in Rods Discussed. BY GEORGE DENNY Time* Fiihlnc Editor. The comparison between the trout j fisherman and the bass fisherman is ah interesting one. Both have one | idea in mind —catching fish—both use a hook and usually a rod, but j after that the paths diverge. For example, about 95 per cent of j the trcut chasers are equipped with fly rods. In bass angling, the per- s centage is almost reversed. Why don't more bass ‘ bugs'’ use I the long rod? That's a hard one answer, but here’s my slant. First, it's a comparatively new method. The troutsters have many j years of background for their chosen ways, while it has been mostly in the last twenty years that bass have been much pursued with feathers. Naturally, the pioneers haven’t j had time to quite figure all the angles. What do we find on the end of the fly fisherman’s leader; when he waves it at bass? Ten to one it’s a bucktail or streamer fly and a spinner. The spinner, most of them feel, is an absolute necessity. No so the angle after trout. The spinner has its place. He probably gives it a try at the opening of the season, before the first good hatch’ of flies, but that’s about all. The rast of the year he's deciding between a pale evening dun or a McGinty fished wet. Bass Lure Restricted The point I'm trying to make is that I think we bass fishermen haven't given the fly rod a fair chance because we know only two or three types of lure and only one or two ways to present them. The spinner and bucktail fished across and down stream in the current and the floating bass bug dropped near the stumps and weeds in still water just about exhaust our knowledge. Watch a good trout fisherman. If there are any rises he will try the dry flies. Not any dry fly, but the one that simulates the insect life on the water. He may tie on a dozen rarities in several sizes before he finds the right one. If these efforts won't work, he changes to wet flies. Still no luck. He fished the dry flics upstream and the wet flies down, and now he faces about and tries the wet flies upstream on a slack line. This, by the way, is the real test of a trout fisherman. Nothing doing, but he is not through yet. He fishes with nymphs, both up and down He tries a bucktail and streamer, down and across. Then on goes tlie spinner in front of the bucktail. And if all else fails, out come the worms, minnows and hellgramites. Bass and trout are much alike when it comes to appetite. Both feed largely on insects and their larvae, commonly called nymphs. But we bass fly fishermen make little if any effort to imitate the natural insect forms with our lures. The nearest approach is the floating bass bug. and we know that on occasion it is deadly. That's because it locks like a struggling moth or large fly. The bucktail and spinner owe their success to their similarity to a minnow. Trout Methods Might Work I can't help thinking that there is lots of room for experiment along the lines that the trout angler know so- well. The hellgramite is the larva or nymph of a large insect and you know what a killer it is at times. But the rubber reproduction that we tie on to our leaders, usually with a spinner, and draw rapidly through, the water certainly can't look real to a bass with normal vision. Stop and think how a hellgramite would act if it were washed out frem under a stone and down the riffle into a pool. One thing is sure, it wouldn’t dash madly along against the current, nor would, it be preceeded by a shining,piece of metal. It would drift along helpleslv until the rush of water permitted it to drop to the bottom, when it would try to wiggle under a stone. And I’ll wager that an angler who could make the artificial lure do just that would be blessed with good sport. It might be worth a try. Richard Pattman, member of the Capital City Gun Club has established himself as an expert fisherman as well as one of the club’s leading crow hunters. He went fishing at a lake on the gun club ground before the season closed and caught a 3 s * -pound small mouth bass.

CANDLE-LIT START

Bridgeport Unit Formed in 1854

This Is the nineteenth of series of histories of Marion county Masonic blue lodfrs being published each Monday in The Times. A history of Irvington lodge still be oublished next sreek. Bridgeport was a town numbering hardly 100 souls, when, early in 1854. a few ambitious men decided to form a blue lodge there. The grand lodge of Indiana was friendly and on Feb. 6 of that year it granted dispensation to organize Bridgeport lodge. No. 162, Free and Accepted Masons. Possibly the grand lodge was so friendly to the purposes of Bridgeport's founders because at that time the opinion was widely entertained that the little village would become a thriving city, perhaps rivaling even Indianapolis which then had a population of 15,000. On May 24. Bridgeport lodge received its charter. Bridgeport’s first officers were Joseph Ballard, worshipful master; Noah Reagan, senior warden; James C. Havens, junior warden; T. D. Faucett, treasurer; John B. Johnson, secretary; Calvin Ballard, senior deacon; David Mills Jr., junior deacon, and Amos Alderson, tyler. These, with Joseph Lawhead, John Campbell. Isaac Clark, Sam G. Ow’en, Joseph Kenworthy, Joseph Zimmerman. Henry Mattern and Henry Wright, compose the list of sixteen charter members. In addition William W. McKnight, a member under dispensation, withdrew before charter was granted; Peter Wright had received the second degree and Asa Ballard, Lot Reagan, Enoch Kenworthy, Lewis George and Willis Barnett, the first degree. a a a '"p'O give the reader some idea of A conditions at the time the lodge was founded it is worth mentioning that the National road was a toll highway; fireplaces were the chief source of heat, and candles and tallow dips provided light. The lodge boasts no less than thirty-two living past masters, which, according to William H. Swintz, grand secretary, is probably a record for Indiana. Os these, J. L. Reagan, fifty-fourth master of the lodge, is the grandson of Noah Reagan, Bridgeport’s first senior warden. a a a MR. REAGAN is the first master of Bridgeport to succeed to the office which his grandfather held. Colonel Sam Reagan, an uncle of J. L. Reagan, served Bridgeport for many years as tyler. .Among the lodge’s many distinctions is one of the lowest records in the state for dimits. More than one Marion county blue lodge has lost its temple by fire; but, here again, Bridgeport leads with two buildings which have been destroyed. Notwithstanding these losses, the lodge at present has no outstanding debt and is possessed of a fine home.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRIO ON TRIAL AS SUSPECTED DILLINGER AIDS St. Paul Doctor Is Charged With Dressing Outlaw's Gun Wounds. By United Brest ST. PAUL. May 15. John Dillinger’s elusiveness brought three persons to trial in a heavily-guarded federal courtroom. Marion Evelyn Frechette, halfIndian toe-dancing sweetheart of the Indiana outlaw; Dr. Clayton May, Minneapolis physician, and his nurse, Mrs. August Salt, are charged with conspiracy to harbor the outlaw. * Under the watchful eyes of a score of department of justice agents, deputy marshals and police, federal judge, Gunnar H. Nordbye presided at selection of a jury. The trial is the outgrowth of Dillinger's stay in the twin cities in March after his escape from the Crown Point (Ind.) jail. Miss Frechette, said to be the wife of Weldon Sparks, Leavenworth convict, is accused of aiding Dillinger to escape from a St. Paul apartment house March 31 after a gun battle in which he was shot in the leg. Dr. May is alleged to have treated the wound on promise of a SSOO fee. Use of her apartment for concealing Dillinger for three days is charged against Mrs. Salt. Both Dr. May and Mrs. Salt said they were compelled to aid the desperado on threats of death. District Attorney George F. Sullivan said the prosecution’s evidence would take a week.
