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.

Never Get Aw
RECENTLY THE ill any
mountain area's No. i devotee
of the rod and reel, George
Harvey, celebrated . his 34th
consecutive year of matching
his skill against the wiles of
this area's water denizens. A
fisherman at the age of five,
Harvey. was once described by
John Aiden Knight,, widely
known fishing authority, as the
"greatest trout fisherman 1 1
ever met."

Dougherty's Arm
HoidsMoundKey
Owen Dougherty, a converted
outfielder, may hold the key to
Penn State’s pitching problems
this season. The Dunmore south
paw,/<|ajsitain of the, 1950 football
team,-currently looms as the No. f
hiirler on Coach Joe Bedenk’s staff.
Pitching, a perennial problem in
college; baseball, became even
more complicated this spring when
Bill Bair, of Williamsport, who
was slated for the No. 1 spot, came
up with a sore arm.
In the absence of Bair, Sopho
more Dick Christensen, v of Warren,
has stepped into the No. 2 job, al
though hard pressed for the as
signment by Joe Huyak, .of .Potts
town, Jim Kelz, of Honesdale, Bill
Everson, of Philadelphia, and Toni
Campbell, of Pottsville.
; “Pitching, as usual, is a head
ache,” the. veteran. Bedenk moans,
“but. with ‘better weather,; some of
theseboys may come. through.” ‘ -
First player signed by the
newly-organized Erie Sailors of
the Middle-Atlantic League- was
Dick Wertz, of Newport, captain
and first baseman of the 1950
Penn State baseball team; Wertz,
who was graduated in mid-year,
posted ' a perfect 3.00 scholastic
average in his last semester on
campus.

'Mother Nature' Inflicts Setback
With only four days remaining

“Mother Nature.”
Handicapped by the elements,
the Lion racquetmen have had
little practice during their 3-week
pre-season conditioning sessions,
thus dimming their hopes? before
their opener against Bucknell on
Friday afternoon at Lewisburg.
