In addi tion, efforts are being made to obtain Henry “Hank” Glass,noted Fish Beware ... Trout Season Opens Tpday Today marks the opening day of the 1950 trout season andthous ands of Isaac Waltons are expect ed to venture forth, braving snow, sleet, or hail. The lowly garden hackle, worm to you, will come into its own as the cold weather and feeding habits of the fish will prevent too many trout from being taken on dry flies, spinners, or other artificial lures. However, many anglers find success through wet flies and nymphs. Spring Creek, about nine miles from the College, is one of the state’s favorite streams and will be tramped from end to end be fore the day is done. More than 3,600 trout have been stocked in the steam, most of which are brown trout. However, many brooks and rainbows are also awaiting the fisherman’s skill and patience. Among other favoi’ite streams are Laurel Run, Stone Creek. Whipples, Black Moshannon, and Chest Creek. -These waters have been heavily stocked in anticipa tion of a heavy first day flux, and few anglers should return home empty-handed. At any rate, the winter’s dreams of rushing streams and full- creels are over, and if Ike Walton does come home “skunked,” he can plan for another day of stalking finny thrills tomorrow.
