1 FISHING IN MINNESOTA By Dr. George A. Selke, Commissioner, Minnesota Dept. of Conservation Minnesota needs no other press agent than the invitation and promise of 10,000 lakes-11,007 lakes to be exact, 25,000 miles of streams and water- ways, and headwaters of the Mississippi. We offer you the matchless climate of Minnesota summertime — the hospitality of the good people of our state—churches for your Sunday wor- ship during your sojourn with us—and hospitals of world renown for your every medical need. We offer you the scenic wonders of our State Parks—the breathtaking beauty of the North Shore Drive—the canoe trails of the Roadless Wilder- ness area—incomparable Lake Superior and Lake of the Woods—the tum- bling cascades of the Temperance and the Baptism—the much visited White- water area—the charming peace and quiet of southern Minnesota lakes— and the far-reaches of rolling prairies and fertile acres stretching into the pine forests and iron ranges of the North. We offer you a vacation designed for everyone—the family group or the most rugged individualist can find the proper outdoor setting. Modern cabins, trailer camps, resort hotels, or camping out in a pitched tent on the bank of some lake or stream are your vacation privileges. We offer you the opportunity to fish our lakes and streams, the diver- sified fishing offered by pan-fish, brook trout, and walleyes, northerns and muskies, and the counter-part of deep sea fishing in angling for lake trout on Lake Superior. We are proud of our Minnesota fishing. Fish and Wildlife Service tells us we have more licensed fishermen than any other state in the nation. On my desk is a report, fantastic but true, of possibly the most phenomenal muskie fishing of modern times. These are the facts. In two days last summer on Leech Lake 51 big muskies were brought into the landing at Federal Dam alone, and within two weeks 200 silver muskies were reported taken, from minnow-sized 18 pounders, to the larger 40 pounders. Minnesota has much to offer. We offer you Minnesota as a place to live and work and play. Once again we extend to you the welcome of the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Link your future with Minnesota. Water is our heritage. Water is our destiny.

RULES FOR WATER SAFETY WHILE FISHING By Alfred Nelson, Bureau of Information, Minnesota Department of Conservation Each year several dozen fishermen are the victims of water accidents. Most, if not all, could have been prevented by the practice of a few com- mon sense safety rules. When using a boat for fishing, there are several activities which interfere with fishing and, therefore, may be the cause of an accident. The operation of the outboard motor or rowing with oars, han- dling of the anchor and moving about in the boat while trying to fish, increase the chances of falling out or tipping the boat over. Any one of these hazards is considerably increased by the number of people in a boat. Fishing from the shore, dock or breakwater or some such structure also has its hazards that should be constantly watched.

2 Ninety to 99 per cent of the accidents could be avoided if the following rules are carefully observed: 1. A boat rented from a boat livery should be marked with the number of passengers and should be sound and sea-worthy. Any fisherman is wise to check the boat carefully and never load it with more than the number specified. 2. Even though all people in a boat may be excellent swimmers, it is common sense to carry a safety belt or cushion for each. 3. If it is absolutely necessary to change positions, be sure that everyone cooperates by keeping low in the boat and watching the balances; it is better not to shift places once you are away from shore. 4. No one should stand up to cast, pull in a big fish, pull in the anchor, lift the minnow bucket or try to reach something that has fallen overboard. Such action is an invitation to trouble. 5. Unless you are thoroughly familiar with wind and weather ac- tions on the lake so that you know what is dangerous, it is best to move towards shore at the first sign of an approaching storm. 6. If something happens to swamp the boat so that the boat begins to fill with water, remember that the boat will sink just so far and it is possible to be safe by staying with the boat. The same thing applies if the boat is capsized and overturned. People have been rescued one, two, and three hours after clinging to an overturned boat; but many have drowned by leaving a boat in an attempt to swim to the nearest shore. An overturned boat will float and usually drift toward shore or quiet water and it is a good rule never to leave the boat under such situations. 7. A considerable number of accidents have occurred when the anchor rope or the fishline becomes fouled on the outboard motor. Attempts to pull up the motor or reach overboard to untangle the line have been the end for some fishermen. 8. There are several hazards when fishing from shore; wading out too far and falling into a drop-off; slippery and insecure foot- ing on the bank or rocks or structures; and stumbling over ob- jects which causes a fall into the water.

The very large majority of water fatalities have occurred by violating the above safety rules. It should be no hardship or curtailment of fishing pleasure to remember and follow safety rules. Therefore, in the excitement and pleasure of being out-of-doors, riding the waves of one of Minnesota's sky-blue lakes and experiencing the thrill of pulling in your limit of fight- ing fish, do not forget that a single moment of thoughtlessness or careless- ness may end it all for you and others in a boat with you. Nothing can justify the lack of common sense safety precautions.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CARE AND PRESERVATION OF FISH FOR FOOD USE By Hjalmar 0. Swenson, Supervisor, Bureau of Fisheries, Minnesota Division of Game and Fish When the fish is intact with head, tail and entrails still attached, the fish is whole or in the round.

8 A drawn fish has been cut down the center of the belly and the entrails removed. A dressed fish has the scales, entrails, fins, head and tail removed. Fish should be packed in ice as soon as possible after they are caught if they are to be shipped or transported any great distance. Check your fishing synopsis for information on shipping. Inquire locally for freezing and packing service. Scaling is done by holding the fish firmly with one hand and scraping the scales off with a knife or a fish scaler. The head is removed by cutting behind the gill cover. The pectoral or front fins can be removed with the head. The dorsal fin is removed by cuts down by each side of it and a pull forward. Filleting is done by cutting with a sharp, thin knife down to the back- bone from behind the head and along the backbone to the tail. The opera- tion is repeated to remove the other side. The ribs can be removed easily with a sharp knife. The fillets may be skinned by laying them skin down, the tail toward the operator, on the edge of a table. A cut is made down to the skin close to the end of the fillet. Holding on to the tail end of the skin, the operator turns the edge of the knife toward the head and pushes the knife along the skin. After dressing the fish, they should be washed thoroughly in cold water. Steaks are cross sections of fish—a dressed fish cut at right angles.

Suggestions for the Care and Preservation of Fish for Mounting Purposes Care should be taken to protect the scales and skin of the fish. The fish should be wrapped in cloth as soon as possible, packed in ice and taken to a taxidermist. They may be frozen.

CARE OF FISHERMEN AND FISH By Dr. John B. Moyle, Supervisor, Fisheries Research Unit, Bureau of Fisheries, Minnesota Division of Game and Fish Fish hooks will catch both fish and fishermen, so here are a few hints that may save you and your friends from inconvenience or even injury. Always carry a good wire-cutting pliers in your tackle box. If clothing or flesh is hooked beyond the barb, shove the hook through and cut off the barb with the pliers. Never cast where there is someone close behind you. Such carelessness may cause the loss of a friend's eye. Be wary of a big fish with a plug or spoon in its mouth. It may sud- denly jump and hook the plug in your hand. Stun big fish by hitting them on top of the head before removing the plug. Never grab for a hooked fish in the water. Use a gaff hook or a land- ing net. Many fishes have sharp spines on the back or dorsal fin. These can easily puncture the skin. Grab the fish back of the head but in front of the back fin. Bullheads also have a pair of spines alongside the head. Northern pike and muskies have needle-sharp teeth that can inflict painful skin punctures.

4 Now for the fish. Sometimes the angler may wish to return to the water a fish he has caught. In such a case do as little damage as possible to the fish when removing the hook. If the fish bleeds or the skin or flesh is torn it will probably die. Wet the hands before handling the fish because dry hands remove the surface slime and allow fish diseases to start. If you fish for sport alone, try a barbless hook. Any hook will do but file off the barb. This will greatly lessen the chance of injuring the fish.

HOW TO CATCH FISH IN MINNESOTA So that you may be better informed on how to go about catching the various species of fish which are found in Minnesota waters, the following articles have been written by well known fishermen and sportsmen, each of whom is.well qualified to discuss the subject assigned to him.

HOW TO CATCH WALLEYES By George T. Kolar, Fisherman and Sportsman While we do not usually place the walleye in the same category as trout and bass in regard to gameness, on the table he is hard to beat and under the right conditions on proper tackle he will give a good account of himself. There are two important factors to putting the walleye in the creel— the right tackle and a knowledge of the fish and his habits. These fish are usually found in water which has a rocky, gravelly, or sandy bottom. This is not an infallible rule, however, for, under certain conditions and certain times of the season, excellent walleye fishing may be had on the mud flats of our best walleye lakes. My experience has been that walleyes usually come into shallow water along rocky and sandy shorelines to feed at night. I have caught many fine fish while trolling or casting at night in three to four feet of water during the dark hours. It is a good idea to scout a stretch of shoreline during the daytime so that one is familiar with that particular locality. This will help the angler to orient himself after dark. As a rule, the walleye is a school fish and where one is caught it is a pretty good bet that more will be caught in the same location and at the same depth. When trolling or still fishing for walleyes it is a good idea to start near the bottom and work your bait or lure up by stages. In other words, if the fish do not take the lure near the bottom it may mean that they are feeding at a higher level. I have, in fact, taken walleyes on the surface at night using a popper or white bucktail streamer. In still fishing or trolling, it is a good idea to work the edges of drop offs and along the bars and reefs. The fish seem to lie along the edges of these places waiting for food. The windward shore also seems to produce bet- ter than the lee shore. As in any other types of fishing, I believe the reader will agree with me that a knowledge of the walleye's habits is of the utmost importance. Almost any type of tackle is the right tackle for walleyes, providing that a little common sense goes along with its selection. In a casting rod, I prefer a five to five and one-half foot rod with a stiffish action to enable me to set the hook in a walleye's hard mouth. In a fly rod, my choice is a nine footer of five and three-quarters to six ounces. Also, do not overlook the fact that a nylon or gut leader is very important and will put fish on the stringer when the fellow who does not use a leader often goes fishless.

5 Bait can be of a variety. The walleye's natural food is small fishes and minnows, crawfish, frogs, worms, and larvae of aquatic insects. Artificial lures for walleyes seem to be of endless varieties, but I prefer the minnow- spinner combination or the deep running, bottom bumping plugs. Walleyes are found in the majority of Minnesota's lakes, the size of lake being seemingly unimportant. Noted walleye lakes are Mille Lacs, Leech, Kabetogama, Winnibigoshish and Lake of the Woods—but myriads of smaller lakes offer equally fine walleye fishing.

HOW TO CATCH NORTHERN PIKE By Ed L. Shave, Executive Director, 10,000 Lakes Association Fishing for battling great northerns in Minnesota's 10,000 lakes and numerous streams is a very popular pastime. 01' Esox Lucius is a furious fighter. From the tip of his sharp toothed jaws to the end of his powerful twisting tail, Mr. Great Northern is a bat- tler. He will hit nearly any bait at any time during the day and in various types of water. When hooked his rushes, jerks and furious surges will thoroughly test an angler's line, rod and skill. Just get a northern on your line from five to twenty-five pounds and you will have plenty of excitement, and if there is a weak spot in your line you'll discover it quickly. The northern is sort of a lone wolf chap, they do not school up as do many other species; however, there are lakes where there is an abundance of great northerns, and in the weed beds and other places, where there is food to be found, you may connect with many. The northern moves around in his area. He is an ever-hungry, always on the prowl type, and when he takes the lure, it is decisively with genuine vigor. The great northern is not choosey on his selections. It will hit minnows, frogs, spoons, plugs, both surface and underwater, flies, streamers. How- ever, a spoon with a waving tail at times seems to drive old northern clean daffy. It will be taken at either slow or fast trolling. Locate a good weed bed, keep your boat or canoe off about 35 to 50 feet and cast the bait to the edge of the bed, start the retrieve and, wham, a northern may have it. Keep a fairly stiff line but allow him leeway when he starts going places or else he will break it. The northern's teeth are very sharp and therefore a light leader will often be cut in two. It is best to use a light wire leader, although many fishermen attach their lure directly to the line, but if this line gets crossed in the northern's mouth it may be slashed. Northerns are rarely found in deep water. They lurk around weed beds, rushes, near mouths of streams, creeks or near the shore if it is weedy. They are not easily frightened, yet it is wise not to create disturbance. Troll along the edges of weed beds with spoons, underwater or surface plugs, minnows, frogs, or cast from your boat towards shore. You will get them. You will have fun galore and when properly prepared, great northern is a tasty, delicious dish.

HOW TO CATCH MUSKELLUNGE By Robert Page Lincoln, Nationally Known Fisherman and Outdoor Writer In spite of the fact that most Minnesota fishermen go for walleyes, bass and northerns, I maintain there are considerable numbers of muskies extant

6 in these waters. I have always made the statement that sooner or later a world's record muskellunge would be taken from Minnesota. The best muskellunge fishing in Minnesota is in the Mississippi river, particularly from Bemidji down to Anoka. Two of the best lakes connected with this river would be Lake Winnibigoshish and Leech lake, and there are excellent possibilities in the Brainerd region. Twenty muskies were taken in the Rum river near Anoka one summer by one fisherman. One fault with most musky fishermen is that they do most of their fishing by trolling. Experts fish for this great grey warrior with a casting rod and large musky plugs or spoons. A sound method is to troll some of the time and cast the rest of the time. One should produce results. Because you can get more action out of a jointed plug it is my top recommendation, and be sure that the plug is light enough in weight to float. Split bamboo rods in the musky type are all right for trolling but are too stiff for casting purposes. Best rod for casting plugs and spoons is a solid steel rod. It is the rod I have used through years of musky fishing via the casting method. Top-water lures, or plugs, all in the musky size, are recommendations for evening fishing around the pads and weeds. In fact, these puddling and popping plugs work to best effect from dusk into the dark. If fishermen were aware of the fact that muskies haunt the shores at dusk and near-to- dark they would be in there plugging, and using puddling lures in the shore- nooks as the process might pay off in a big way. In river fishing, seek your muskies in the deep pools, and in the lakes hunt out the small bays that have pads and grasses. Muskies are often quite shy, so approach with as little sound as possible—it may mean the difference between a fish and no fish. Best craft we have used in the taking of over four hundred muskies of size in our days of fishing was the canoe. With this you can slip into places with a minimum of sound and so catch the fish quite unawares. Do not overcast your waters. Make every cast count; and plan every cast. 'Nough said!

HOW TO CATCH LAKE TROUT By Rep. E. J. Chilgren, Publisher, Little Fork Times Whenever Spring breezes waft over the lakes in northern Minnesota and Ontario I get a yen to drop my line in the clear, ice-cold waters that produce what I consider the finest fresh water fish—the lake trout or land locked salmon. Many of the northern Minnesota lakes harbor multitudes of these mar- velous fish. I have caught them from a pound to as high as 26 pounds. I'd say my average lake trout runs close to six pounds in weight. As to flesh and flavor it is incomparable—deep red flesh, firm in texture but tender and toothsome and the flavor is on the salmon side but much milder and more mellow. The ideal season for lake trout is from the time the ice goes out of the lakes until about the first week in June. The trout are then feeding along the shores and rocky reefs and may be caught by trolling, casting, or with A fly rod. If the day is right, almost any silver or copper spoon with good a,:tion will take fish. They will also go for the minnow type of plugs so often used for walleyes or northerns and many fishermen use the red and white or black and white daredevils. I have had my best luck trolling with a good sized minnow and an ordinary June bug spinner. After June 1 the water warms and this sends the trout into the depths of the lakes. Then deep trolling is required using a strong line with actually

7 pounds of sinkers or, much better, a metal line that will require less weight on the end. Then trolling over the deep reefs will usually bring the wrist tingling strike that foretells succulent trout in the pan come evening. Don't be delicate about using big triple pointed hooks when trolling for lake trout. The larger fish, especially, when nearing the boat will resort to twisting, turning motions that often dislodge well seated baits. Keep the points sharp as a needle and set the hook as though your life depended upon it. Never give slack for, if you do, you'll have to try again—you have lost another one. Sometimes I wonder just why I enjoy this sport so keenly. Maybe it is because in the most beautiful time of the year the wilderness country with its clear, mirror-like lakes, evergreen forests and budding trees wel- comes the advent of Spring. The weather is clear and bracing, there are no mosquitoes, deer flies or no-see-urns and the fishing—Man, for the time of your life, try lake trout fishing in Minnesota.

HOW TO CATCH BASS By Jack Connor, Outdoor Editor, Minneapolis Star and Tribune A good percentage of the dyed-in-the-wool angling fraternity agrees the small mouth bass, pound for pound, is the fightingest fresh water fish that swims. And not far behind him, in pugnaciousness, is the large mouth bass. Minnesota is fortunate, indeed, in having ample populations of both species, not only in her lakes but in many of her streams as well. Both fish are tasty enough to satisfy the most discriminating palate when prepared correctly. Hence the bass, either small mouth or large mouth, is right among the leaders in Minnesota's list of most desirable species. It ranks close behind the wall-eye in popularity and edibility. Both the large mouth and small mouth bass are similar in contour, but the former is chiefly characterized by a dark stripe down the middle of each side horizontally while the small mouth may easily be recognized by a series of irregular vertical bars along the sides. Moreover, the upper jaw plate of the large mouth extends beyond the eye, while that of the small mouth ends just ahead of or below the eye. The large mouth can tolerate much warmer water than the small mouth and, therefore, is found in considerable abundance in the shallow and warm southern Minnesota lakes. The range of the small mouth is in the colder water lakes north of the Twin Cities. Large mouth bass prefer lakes with abundant bottom vegetation, par- ticularly those with bays chocked with lily pads. The small mouth chooses deeper gravel bottoms for his habitat and exhibits a marked preference for running water. Hence he will be found more often in cool, spring-fed rive:s. Live frogs are the favorite bait of large mouth bas—s fishermen, but small mouths generally will have none of that. They prefer a diet of live minnows and crustaceans such as snails and crabs. In fly fishing large streamers with spinners and the various popping "bugs" are equally effec- tive for both species.

8 Both will also hit plugs on bait casting rods and the red and white "bassoreno" type has long been the most popular and effective. A close second on both scores is the "pikie-minnow" type of plug in the so-called "perch" finish to resemble a swimming minnow. Favorite fishing hours of bass anglers are from just before sun-up to mid-morning, and from 4:00 p. m. until dark, when they're inshore questing for minnows and frogs. Between these feeding periods through the summer they lie in the deep holes in lakes and streams. To get at them then you must go to the bot- tom with live bait, either frogs or minnows, crabs or snails. Live grass- hoppers, floated on the surface near shore during feeding hours, also are very productive during the grasshopper season. Once you have caught your bass he should be steaked out, no matter how small, and the skin peeled off. There is a good reason for this. The bass has a so-called "mud-streak" running horizontally along both sides between the skin and meat. It is this streak that gives him his muddy taste if the fish is not skinned.

HOW TO CATCH PANFISH By Lytton Taylor, Outdoor Writer, St. Paul Dispatch and Pioneer Press "Panfish" in this region commonly refer to sunfish, bluegills, crappies and rock bass and these panfish provide the angling sport for perhaps a million persons in Minnesota each year. The immense popularity of panfish is due to numerous factors, among them the fact that, like the poor, the Lord made so many of them. The prime essentials require that one locate fish that are hungry, and offer them "bait" that appeals to their fancy at that particular time. The three major ways of angling for panfish are fly fishing, still fishing in open water from boat or bank, and through ice. Dry flies on the surface, or wet flies fished deep, are productive depend- ing on where the fish are feeding. If neither produces, maybe you should have a juicy angleworm with both ends dangling free from a tiny trout hook, and no sinker. Ice fishing in the past has produced mostly crappies, probably because the traditional bait has been live minnows, but in the last two or three years there has been a great upsurge in ice-fishing for sunfish. In response to this trend bait dealers now are offering worms and grubs the year-around. Crappies are notorious for hanging around docks and diving piers. - Lacking these, the wise angler will try to locate submerged dead-heads, brush piles or even the sunken remains of old boats. Where it can be done without creating objectionable hazards, one can create a productive "fishing hole" by piling brush on ice over water of suit- able depth, and weighting it with rocks so that the pile will be held on the bottom when the ice melts. This kind of fishing may ruin a lot of hooks and some line, but one will catch a lot of fish, too. The biggest panfish usually are found on the outer edges of weed beds. In early spring, before the weed banks develop, look for quiet bays with black mud bottoms. Such bottoms absorb sun heat, and the water there is the first to warm up to spawning temperatures.

9 The common earthworm is the greatest panfish getter and, on the line of "nervous" fishermen who will keep it moving, often is the equal of live minnows, even for crappies. Such angling remains fascinating, however, because even fish appetites for worms are unpredictable. There are times, as all veterans know, when panfish won't touch worms but will "go wild" over grasshoppers. A recent bait dealers' bulletin comments that when sunfish slow down or quit hitting worms in the fall they will hit grubs readily. Fish have been likened to cattle grazing in a pasture. They may be here today and over there tomorrow. Unfortunately we can't see the fish as we can the cows, so we have to go hunting and feeling for them. That may call for a lot of boat moving until their hangout is located. Then mark it or remember it.

HOW TO CATCH STREAM TROUT By Vern C. Soash of Matson, Marquette and Soash, Inc. While not the largest nor the most numerous of Minnesota's long list of game fish, the wily and succulent trout heads the list in my opinion. And the trout fisherman, bait or fly, is in the post graduate school of the pisca- torial art. Fortunately one never graduates for a good trout man never ceases to study and learn from the wariest of all fresh water fishes. Since trout can exist only in cool, clean water they are found in spring fed brooks and streams. This habitat adds much to the flavor of its flesh and makes its catching much more difficult. The trout's ability to see the fisherman in crystal clear water accounts primarily for the development of the dry fly technique. True it is that trout can be caught on bait, principally worms, minnows and small crabs. The use of salmon eggs, while effective, is frowned on by all true sportsmen. In late Summer grasshoppers will entice many of the big fellows. While such methods are very effective when streams are dis- colored, they must give way to fly fishing when waters are clear. Under normal conditions the fly man will take trout much more readily than the bait fisherman. Equipment consists of a fly rod, single action or automatic reel, enam- eled line, gut or nylon leader and either snelled or eyed hooks. The latter variety has many advantages over the former. For bait or wet fly fishing a fairly limber rod with action (or bend) well toward the middle of the rod works best. The dry fly requires a stiff backed rod with the action well for- ward of center. Rods vary from seven to nine feet with the shorter rods most popular. The wet fly is fished across and down stream with a slight twitching motion to give the effect of a struggling minnow. The limber rod permits the retrieve and cast in the same motion without raising the fly much above the water. The dry fly is fished upstream with line and leader oiled to keep them on the surface. The dry fly imitates very exactly various types of stream flies that light on the water to lay their eggs. Most fishermen use the fly that most nearly matches the natural flies in evidence at the time of fishihg. Nymphs and a few wet flies are fished upstream wet with good results. Minnesota is fortunate in having several areas where spring fed streams provide perfect habitat for trout. The Whitewater area near Winona holds a number of fine streams. The Straight river near Park Rapids is another popular fishing spot. The most noted section is the North Shore of Lake Superior where many fine trout streams flow from the height of land into

10 the lake. Here trout fishing is at its best with rushing rapids and falls providing splendid rainbow trout fishing and many beaver ponds are found well stocked with eastern brook trout. German browns are found in many streams as well. While stream trout fishing is an active sport requiring hip boots or waders for traversing the stream, the late sleeper can vie with the early riser for fishing honors. Except when bait fishing, daytime and evening fishing is best. Few flies are on the water early but hover over the streams throughout the later part of the day. Minnesota offers ample opportunity to the ardent trout fisherman to enjoy this finest type of fishing and as to eating—no trout in the world excel the Minnesota variety for flavor and firmness.

HOW TO CATCH CATFISH By Fred Jonson, Outdoor Writer, Red Wing Daily Republican Eagle One of the orneriest fish to fish is the catfish. You may think you know the secret of how to catch this smoothie with his sleek, scaleless, silver coat and handsome whiskers, but he's as full of new tricks as seeds in a hay stack. The lure you threw at him one day in the spot that he was yesterday finds he's in the place where you should fish him tomorrow with the bait you used today. He's in swift water, shallow water, riffles, deep water. But wherever he is you can mark it down in your books it's the spot where there's some- thing to eat. Old timers will tell you he feeds by the moon—full moon, half moon, quarter moon. And there's another school of thought which holds that he bites only when there's no moon. This difference of opinion attests to the contrariness of the species. Catfish will bite on almost anything, moving or still, just so long as it looks like something to eat. A bit of red cloth, doughballs, plugs, artificial flies, cheese, liver—it's all the same to the catfish so long as he has an appe- tite and is on the prowl. Even shiny bits of metal and pieces of rubber tires have been found in his stomach. Obviously, the catfish is the goat of the aquatic world. He may grow bigger in the warm waters of the southland, but at no place does he grow tastier than in the cool streams of southern Minnesota. And at the business end of a fly or casting rod, there's no species, pound for pound, that will give you a grander thrill or bigger fight. The catfish prefer rivers as their habitats, although they have been caught in lakes. The Mississippi and its 17-mile long widening known as Lake Pepin, the St. Croix and the Minnesota rivers are the larger streams in Minnesota where the species is more plentiful. The specific locale de- pends upon water levels and time of the year and those unacquainted with the streams should inquire of the natives. There's only one fundamental of catfish fishing—go to the spot where the catfish are. If they're eating, you'll catch them. You can use the customary baits—worms or minnows. If you're fish- ing fast waters, hang on a heavy sinker to get down to the bottom. Or,

11 if in calm water, you can attach a cork and sit there in the sunshine, with peace and contentment in your heart, waiting for business to come along. But, if you want action, you'll use a fly rod and once a "cat" grabs your bait, you'll have more business than you can handle. Any old fly will do, but under-water flies are more effective. The same with a casting rod— any type of plug seems attractive so long as it is moving. A daredevil is probably best. And minnows and worms, most of the time, are best of all. The catfish is a regular buttinski. You may be angling for wall-eye or bass when suddenly you get a tremendous strike. Thoughts of a prize catch race through your mind as you reel in. Then, there he is, that fight- ing, ornery bit of piscatorial flesh balefully staring you in the eye. But, are you disgusted ? No, sir. He goes on your stringer as fast as you can get him there. And in the days ahead, when you start boasting about your catch, you might mention the wall-eyes or bass you landed, but special emphasis will be on the catfish. Such is the character of this ornery citizen of Minnesota's fishing waters.

HOW TO CATCH BULLHEADS By Frank D. Slaughter, Fisherman and Sportsman Being a fisherman for a great many years and having a taste for sweet fish flavor, I have acquired a fondness for catching what some people call the lowly bullhead. Many a pleasant hour have I spent sitting on some river bank or lake shore with a long cane pole and plenty of succulent bait. Don't let the fly fisherman mislead you into thinking that the only true fish sport is with a fly rod on a trout stream. When you sit in the cool of the evening with a fresh crayfish on your hook and you tensely await the moment when a series of strong tugs indicate a whopper is on the line, you experience the same thrill that fishermen of the larger variety enjoy. And don't underestimate the fighting qualities of Mr. Bullhead. He is a strong swimmer and doesn't give up easy. For equipment you need only a rod, stick or pole on which to fasten a line. No need for fancy baits or tapered leaders. Tie yourself to the right spot, bait up with angle worms, old tough liver, ripe chicken entrails, sun ripened shrimp or good strong cheese. Any of these baits will take bullheads readily. Many of the lakes and streams in central or southern Minnesota are well stocked with bullheads. Near the Twin Cities are two favorite spots. One is Twin Lakes at Centerville and the other is Pluckers Lake near Savage. You will find Mr. Bullhead numerous in almost any bull or eddy in the Mississippi or Minnesota rivers. Let me disprove the fallacy bullheads are hard to clean. Here is how you do it. Take a nice fiat board to lay your fish on. Stick an ice pick or long nail through the head into the board and with a sharp knife cut through the skin right back of the head all the way around. Take a firm grip with a pair of pliers and the skin will come right off. Cut off the head, clean out the body cavity and your fish is ready for the pan. As for eating, few fish exceed the bullhead in sweet meaty flavor. Fry your fish in deep fat just like a doughnut and serve with cornbread and honey. It is a dish fit for a king.
