THURSDAY, JUNE 29. 1961 summer sportsman Although the trout season is nearing its end, it is by no means over. Plenty of good trout fishing is to be had if fishermen know their streams and use their bait properly. As larger streams such as Penns Creek and Elk Creek warm up the trout are moving gradually into smaller, cooler running streams such as Pine Creek, Laurel Run and Swift Run. So, if you're interested in trout fishing, stick to the more moderate sized streams. Late season trout fishermen always face questions of what to use as an effective bait. Worms and minnows, many, think, have lost their usefulness in late season trout fishing. This is partially true. Trout tend to become bait tired and ignore offerings which they would have snatched up earlier in the season. At certain times, even in July, and espe cially after a heavy rainstorm, small worms will still get plenty of action. This is more the time of year, though, for the use of terrestial insects and their imitations ?datalady for trout. June bugs, crickets, and (a little later) grasshoppers will do nicely. Imitations of beetles, and leaf-hop pers are also hot June trout baits, Since the weather has been rather cool for late June, the fly fisherman is somewhat limited in that only very small flies (size 16 or 18) are effective. There are flies hatching, but they're smaller than normal for this time of year. Later in the summer, if things warm up a bit, larger flies can be used. Especially on warm July nights when wet flies as large as 2/0 will bring strikes. I've been asked by several students where to go for trout in this area. Early in the spring, Shaver Run, Spring Creek above Houserville, Penns Creek near Spring Mills, Fishing Creek near Lamar, and Moshannon Creek are likely spots, Around this time of the year, however, most of these spots (with the possible exception of Shaver Run) have been too heav ily fished or are too warm-watered for good trout fishing. So now I'd recommend spots which are a Wile farther away such as Swift Run (near Troxelville), Pine Creek near Woodward, Laurel Run near Laurelton. or Rapid Run. Bass Hot-Spots: Big Pine Creek, Juniata River between Mt. Union and Port Royal, and the Driftv, , ood Branch of the Sinne mahoning. If, on some balmy summer evening, you'd like to take your date for an enjoyable ride, find a spotlight and head for the Black Moshannon area. Along legislative route 869 between the State Park and the airport, you'll find spotlighting deer an en tirely enjoyable pastime. I've seen as many as 25 or 30 deer in one field along this stretch of highway. Remember, though, no guns or archery equip ment in the car while spotting deer. Fawns are small enough now to provide an interesting sight to any nature-lover, and a buck in velvet is also a beautiful sight. And besides, there's no admission fee.
