Stone Valley Dam, opened last year by the University, has
already become a first class fishermen's haven. During the past
summer, the dam provided excellent fishing opportunity for area
fishermen.
The dam, well stocked with bass, trout and bluegills, shows
signs of developing into a fine fish-producing area. Fingerling bass,
stocked in 1960, are growing at a fast, healthy rate.
Most of the bass are now 8-14 inches in
length. The rainbow trout, too, show signs of tak
ing hold as reproducing members of the fish popu
lation
October provides the last opportunity to fish
for trout in the state this year. Rainbow trout
may be taken in lakes and ponds until October 31.
October also is one of the best months of the
year for bass fishing. Open season on bass includes
the entire year, except the period between March
14 and June 17.
On these warm fall evenings, Stone Valley
can proNide some fine bass fishing. Anglers will
find -bass feeding during a greater part of the day hi &Malty
in October than during the summer months. Early evening is still
the best time. Bass are taking minnows and crayfish, and will be
found in most of their summertime feeding areas.
At Stone Valley, bass aren't too hard to find. They are
especially plentiful- along the very steep northwest bank and in
either of the three inlet coves of the lake. Boats, available for rent
at the dock, make access to these places easy and facilitate better
fishing area selection.
As long as this good weather lasts, the fishing at any good
bass lake should remain excellent, Fishing shorelines and coves
or inlets with minnows and crayfish will bring the best results.
The bait can be used with a bobber about three feet above the
hook. Let the bass run with the bait before striking, as late season
bass will mouth the bait somewhat longer than usual before down
ing it.
Looking back over an almost completed season at Stone Valley,
fishermen can indeed be heartened at the prospects of even better
fishing seasons to come.
This year's archery season for deer has been a near perfect
one as far as weather is concerned. Beautiful, warm, Tall days make
bow hunting even more desirable.
From first reports, this season seems to be the most productive
.ever in Pennsylvania. Deer kills by archery have been on the up
swing, -and this year the trend should continue. Since the first
archery season in 1951 when 5,542 bow hunters shot 40 deer, the
sbat; has risen steadily. In 1959, for example, 76.767 bow hunters
killed 1,409 deer.
According to at least one District Game Protector, the number
'of deer which have been wounded and not killed by bow hunters
has alarmingly increased in the put several years. These deer
provide prime targets for ever increasing bands of wild dogs,
which prey on the deer herd.
It has tong been a question under consideration by conscientious
sportsmen everywhere whether this issue deserves further action.
However, wounded animals are the result of any bunting season,
no matter what weapon is used. Besides this, deer wounded by auto
mobiles -on our highways are far greater in number and a much
greater problem to our deer population. Does this mean we should
prevent drivers from operating automobiles in wooded -areas?
Likewise, it seems ridiculous to ban one of the most sporting
of hunting seasons for this reason.
Incidentally, the Outing Club has organized an archery deer
hunt for Saturday. Interested students should sign up at the HUB
desk and meet at the water tower at 1 p.m. Saturday.
I've enjoyed -a day or so of black bear hunting in each of four
hunting seasons, and have gone through five deer seasons--all with
out getting a glimpse of a bear, My search was rather dramatically .
fulfilled last Sunday as I traveled toward State College.
I saw my first wild blackie as he crossed Route 45 just west
of Laurelton. It was quite an exciting experience to find that
the animal I'd hunted on many occasions was more than a myth.
This fact makes bear. hunting one of the greatest hunting ex
periences. -In 1958, for example, only 439 bear were killed in the
State. Hunting, not necessarily killing game, is the true sport!
