Temperature Stick May Become Standard Equipment For Anglers A temperature stick apparently is destined to become standard;equipment for trout fishermen. '''V'-' George Harvey, the fish: arid fly casting at the Pennsyl vania State College, is authority for the statement that an angler will save himself a. lot of . time arid trouble if he determines water temperature before casting his r line into a trout stream. "But don't," he warns, "rest your case on the temperature reading at the edge of the stream. Drop your thermometer into the riffles and let it sink to a point just above the bottom of the stream bed." Und-r 40 Decrees Live Bait The Professor, as he is widely known within the fraternity, suggests, for example, that it is utter nonsense to fish a stream with anything but live bait when the temperature reading is under •10 degrees. “Fish are logy in cold water, don’t feed very actively, anu artificial lures a wide berth,” says Harvey. On the other hand, the Penn State instructor believes the best temperature for fishing a dry fly is.somewhere between .55 and. .67 degrees, whereas a ; wet flv i<- re tractive to trout at 50 degrees arid up. He’s careful to peril: however, that the temperature of surface water can be misleading at-times because of the presence, o'f underwater springs or the in flb'j?/" of cold water from “feeder rurts."' "f.'General Rules Harvey, aware that. there are exceptions to every rule, still con tends that under ordinary cir cumstances these gerieral rules can,-be successfully followed: : - *(1) When .water temperature above 70 degrees, dry fly fighirig for brook" trout ;is very b’oor;'when if goes above 75 degrees "well .you might as well quit fishing." (2) When water temperature ; rises -above 75 degrees,' dry fly fishing for brown and xain i bow trout is. similarly ; poor: ; when it'noes. above 80 degrees, • it's no good, with: any kind 'of lure.
