p —Conservation— PROTECTION OF FISH HURT BY EARLYSEASON Angling Begins Before End of Spawning Period; Eggs Destroyed. BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Times Special Writer This column will usher in the fishing season of 1934, a season that will be on time so far as the calendar is concerned, but with reference to the climatic calendar of the state, about two weeks too early. The law opening the fishing season is now inflexible. Nature does not conform to it about three years out of five. At the present date. I find that the northern lakes and streams contain bass and bluegills that have not finished spawning. Taking fish off the spawning beds exposes the nests to the predatory attack of a large number of fish egg enemies. A parent bass or bluegill will jealously guard its spot of Clean gravel on which the eggs are deposited against almost any form of water foe. The unlucky sun fish will be soundly whipped for venturing near and the larvae of the giant water beetle will be killed and its carcass carried away from the nesting ground.' I have observed the defense tactics of large parent bass this year in a number of cases and experimented with them to discover just how far they will go in risking their own lives to save their nests.

Fights Crayfish The common crayfish seem to be anathema to a nesting bass. Tie one on a string with a weight and lower it over the egg clutch. For a moment no bass is visible in the water below, then suddenly like a gray green flash the sponsor of the nest appears, takes the "crawdaddie” in its mouth and carries it ten or more feet away to drop it. Repeat the test. This time the parent bass is not so decorous. The pest is seized and sharply bitten. With a savage side jerk the tail is severed from the body, and thai ends that. Try a stick lowered into the nesting spot. Even this innocent thing is carefully picked up and carried away. So long as the fish remains alive and there are eggs in the nest, nothing is permitted to remain on or near the nest, be it living foe or just a piece of drift. Any game fish is easily caught from the n&st. Not for the reason, so far as I can discover, that it is hungry, but because it will take anything it regards as a nuisance in its mouth and carry it away. That fact brings the statement that spawning fish should be protected till the eggs hatch. As soon as this occurs, the parent leaves the nesting site for the year, and if food is scare will even turn cannibal and eat the young they have so carefully guarded in the egg. Sports and Sportsmen The season also ushers in two Pjrariety of fishermen, the sport and the sportsman. There is a wide difference between the two. May I present these differences as they have come to my attention in the last twenty years, so that you will not make the mistake.of calling a sportsman a sport. A sport will angle all day over the spawning beds where he discovers game fish have not yet completed the cycle. A sport will handle his undersized fish •with dry hands, will jerk the hook out bodily instead of threading it out. A sport will watch the fishing water until he observes another fisherman take a fish, then will crowd in as close as he possibly can, with his boat or by wading out in front of •the unlucky fisherman and then and there assert his "rights.” A sport will bawl loudest about the department of conservation if lie fails to take the limit of fish in the day. If. he does take it, he will -sneak as many more fish home as he can get away with by some shenanigan, then give them away to his neighbors who never bought a fishing license in their lives. A sport will never give a brother fisherman a tip and nine times out of ten will, in place of advice that would permit another man to enjoy "his fishing, give some misleading cue designed to confuse. On the other hand, observe a sportsman. He will go out of his way to tell another man or woman where to fish and how. A sportsman will take his fishing •as it comes, content with the beauty of his surroundings if he fails to take his fish. If an unfortunate undersized fish happens to take his bait, he will spend time to save it for another day. There will be few 7 fish floating belly up when he goes ashore at nightfall. A sportsman will talk to the owner of the land fringing the fishing water, will introduce himself and set up a friendly liason for there will be another fishing day. A sportsman will take only the fish he needs for the meal and quit. He will not fill his live box at the dock with the "may have in his possession limit.” He counts on the next day’s sport whether fair or foul. The difference between the two is the difference between a gentleman and a boor. The difference is never so marked as when fishing. There is the place to mark the man. Have confidence in the sportsman, but keep your eye on the sport. ‘MUSTACHE JOKER’ ARRAIGNED FOR PRANK Tear Gas Squirted at City Man May Cause Blindness. A mustache, said by witnesses to have been a scrawny, hay-colored lip adornment, became the source of comedy and then tragedy, it was revealed in criminal court today. John Overman, 25, of 2838 North Talbot avenue, mustache owner, is alleged to have squirted a pen filled with tear gas at Burl Lenfesty, 3461 North Illinois street, and blinded him, because Lenfesty ridiculed the hirsute adornment. Mr. Lenfesty testified before Judge Frank P. Baker that doctors did not expect his eyes to recover until next year, if at all.
