No. 6 ^ANGLER^^J^J VLCIV / JUNE, 1941 EDITORIAL The serious lack of Spring rainfall plus mid-June weather in April has served to bring about a rather serious situation. Streams which should be running full are really nearer the low levels of the August season and the watersnake is swiftly becoming a menace to the trout fishermen. Ordinarily, April is a month of colder days and heavy rainfall and the watersnake is more sluggish as he returns from his state of Winter hiber­ nation. Not so true this year, with an extremely premature season the predator of our streams came back into circulation too soon for comfort and his active presence is of much concern to the fisherman. If unmolested, the watersnake assisted by present low water levels, will cut deep into the supply of fish life. Capable of remaining under water for long periods, many are the numbers of fine trout which fall prey to his vicious jaws. A quick grab and the snake returns to the shore with the struggling trout where he finally devours it. Most welcome are the fine reports coming to the Board. Reports which recite of organized campaigns to exterminate this marauder. Some of the clubs, I understand, have enlisted the help of Boy Scout Troops and are really and truly doing a fine job. The watersnake must be checked. Heavy stocked streams providing a plentiful supply of food certainly serves to multiply snakes in large numbers. Boy Scouts and others cooperating with sportsmen and sportsmen's groups can certainly accomplish much in preserving our fish life if they will con­ tinue to stamp this nuisance from our streams.

  • SPORT FISH of OHIO Identification DIVISION of WILDLIFE
    SPORT FISH OF OHIO identification DIVISION OF WILDLIFE 1 With more than 40,000 miles of streams, 2.4 million acres of Lake Erie and inland water, and 450 miles of the Ohio River, Ohio supports a diverse and abundant fish fauna represented by more than 160 species. Ohio’s fishes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors...and live in a variety of aquatic habitats from our largest lakes and rivers to the smallest ponds and creeks. Approximately one-third of these species can be found in this guide. This fish identification guide provides color illustrations to help anglers identify their catch, and useful tips to help catch more fish. We hope it will also increase your awareness of the diversity of fishes in Ohio. This book also gives information about the life history of 27 of Ohio’s commonly caught species, as well as information on selected threatened and endangered species. Color illustrations and names are also offered for 20 additional species, many of which are rarely caught by anglers, but are quite common throughout Ohio. Fishing is a favorite pastime of many Ohioans and one of the most enduring family traditions. A first fish or day shared on the water are memories that last a lifetime. It is our sincere hope that the information in this guide will contribute significantly to your fishing experiences and understanding of Ohio’s fishes. Good Fishing! The ODNR Division of Wildlife manages the fisheries of more than 160,000 acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, and 2.25 million acres of Lake Erie.

  • The Behavior and Habits
    THE BEHAVIOR AND HABITS of LARGEMOUTH BASS By William K. Johnke Published by Dorbil Publishing Co. Uniondale, NY October 1995, First Edition Copyright (c) 1995 by W.K.Johnke All rights reserved ***I N T R O D U C T I O N *** The Largemouth Bass is America's all­out favorite game fish ! It is probably the most glamorous species in the fresh waters of the world today. The largemouth is fundamentally a lake fish, and that is where it colonizes best. It is not a scavenger, it is strictly predaceous! It is not fussy about food. "If it moves, eat it!" is a kind of motto of the species. Passionate pleasures are derived from the enticing and ensnaring this voracious largemouth bass. Enticing a bass to accept a lure is pleasure in itself, but finding where such bass may be at any given time is the greatest challenge of all! In order to assist finicky fishermen to become more successful at catching bass, an in­depth scrutiny of highly regarded and well known literature on bass and bass angling was undertaken. The ensuing outline of bass behavior traits summarizes the noteworthy factors pertaining to this fish. Giving serious thought to and applying the factors outlined herein should lead to a better understanding and appreciation of its life cycle, its behavioral patterns, and how best to entice it to strike. We bass fishermen today are fortunate that our predecessors in their wisdom saw fit to introduce this species of fish into waters far beyond its natural habitat. Largemouth bass are now to be found extensively in "warm" freshwaters around the world.

P HILIPP Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois and Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, 607 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA Abstract.—We conducted a series of experiments to assess the real-time physiological and behavioral responses of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and smallmouth bass M. dolomieu to different angling related stressors and then monitored their recovery using both cardiac output devices and locomotory activity telemetry. We also review our current understanding of the effects of catch-and-release angling on black bass and provide direction for future research. Collectively our data suggest that all angling elicits a stress response, however, the magnitude of this response is determined by the degree of exhaustion and varies with water temperature. Our results also suggest that air exposure, especially following exhaustive exercise, places an additional stress on fish that increases the time needed for recovery and likely the probability of death. Simulated tournament conditions revealed that metabolic rates of captured fish increase with live-well densities greater than one individual, placing a greater demand on live-well oxygen conditions.

  • Angling Rules
    ENTERING YOUR CATCH Virtually every day of the year the WPBFC has a fishing contest underway. That means that each time you go fishing you can potentially catch a contest winning fish. But as the old saying goes, "You can't win if you don't enter". For fish to be eligible for great trophies and tackle prizes, club members simply have to submit their entry on an official WPBFC catch affidavit, which must be fully completed and submitted electronically or returned to the Fishing Club (or postmarked) within 14 days of the catch. It is permissible to fax (or email) entries to the club (561) 832-2137. Incomplete affidavits will not be processed. Anglers do not have to kill their catch for entry in fishing club contests. Caught, weighed and released fish are eligible, providing they are weighed on an official club certified hand scale, or if you don't have a certified hand scale, you can weigh your catch at any weigh station that has a certified scale. Entering fish is that simple. Your catch does not have to be a ‘trophy’ fish to win an award. Contact the club if you should have any additional questions. JUNIOR ANGLERS (AGES 10-18) WPBFC Junior Anglers are members ages 10-18 years old. Junior anglers are eligible for all award categories in the WPBFC annual Fishing Contest (Nov. 1 - Oct. 31), annual angling trophies and All-Time Club Records. All qualifying junior angler catches should be entered and will be considered when determining the Junior Angler of the Year Award (see specific Junior Angler of the Year criteria on the Annual Fishing Contest chart).

School was out, and every class had found the thing that was demonstrably the best, most impressive thing to do. For the tenth grades about to take their aptitudes, it was cycling down the path from the wind farm head fi rst, until they either lost their courage or their bikes fl ipped and they cartwheeled with bloody knees and grazed elbows.
