THAT'S THE LIMIT by Bob Thomas Last Sunday I had a unique experience. While we were visiting the Dale Martins, who livg at Loon Lake, Dale decided to clean out his martin house. As he put his ladder up to the pole a flying squir/el glided out and onto a nearby tree. We all gathered round to watch this seldom seen animal glide from tree to I

tree and into a squirrel box Dale had erected. As Dale was dumping the old sparrow nests and other debris into a barrel, he thought he heard something. Investigation revealed a nest of five baby flying squirrels not more than a day or two old. Shortly after he replaced the nest and babies, the mother was seen gliding into the martin house again. Though these animals are quite common around here, they’re nocturnal and so, rarely seen. In some locations they’re quite a nuisance, taking over wood duck boxes, bird houses, etc. Those noises you hear at night in the attic may be flying I squirrels scampering around.

; I’d like to point out that unlike the red squirrel or piney, the [ flying squirrel is protected at ( all times. Last week I arrested a man in ■ LaGrange Co. for blind grabbing ' or jerking. He was fined $lO and ■ costs which added up to $27.95. ' For those who don’t knowgrabbing is when you tie a series of treble, or grab hooks, on your line and put on enough weights so your hooks will ride < on the bottom. With this rig you cast across a ripple or pond and jerk your hooks through it, hoping to snag fish. This practice is strictly illegal and although we’re not troubled much with it here in the northern part of the state, it seems to be cropping up this

year. The reason for the law is obvious, as you can’t return or release a fish that’s been hooked in the belly. This law will be strictly enforced. Indiana’s smelt dipping season is in full swing in Lake Co. There’s a special license for a dip not to use for sirelt. Carp and dogfish spearing picked up through the week on the Elkhart River. Some parties are getting some nice suckers in the clearer waters. Bass fishing continues to improve with the spoons still taking the most fish. The boat channels and inlets around lakes are the places to try. Some lakes are still pretty cold and the weather hasn’t been helping to
