«A Post sports arena THE DALLAS POST/Wednesday, April 13, 1988 7 From the sidelines Trout fever Is In the air! BY CHARLOT M. DENMON iW Writer . 4 This Saturday marks the opening of trout season. No truer evidence that spring is in the air than the steady trek of male and female anglers to local sporting goods store and bait shops to purchase waders, creels, lures, flies and live bait. They stand in line waiting to buy their fishing license for this important day of a trout fisherman’s life. Come Saturday, vehicles of every size, color and year will fill every available parking space on or off the roadways. Wall-to-wall anglers will border the shores of local lakes or streams hoping for an early morning strike. Their lines tangle, they cast their rods feverishly hoping to get that ‘big one’, the catch of the day. Rain, snow, sun, mild or cold weather, they brave the best and worse the elements to catch their limit. 8T'he real fisherman doesn’t stand much of a chance whether he goes to Harveys Lake, Harveys Creek, Tunkhannock Creek, Bowman’s Creek, Mehoopany or Meshoppen Creek. Everywhere it’s the same. Banks of streams lined with the ‘opening’ day male and female anglers with only purpose in mind “Get em quick and go home.” “They try anything and everything for bait and with freshly stocked waters, the anglers are certain to catch brown trout, rainbow, brookies or lake trout with any type of bait the first day whether worms, salmon eggs, minnows, candy, flies or lures. They’ll use anything that will help them in their quest for the ‘coveted’ trout. This Saturday marks the opening of trout season. Will you be there among the hundered of opening day fishermen or will you, like many experienced fishermen or women, bide your time until the sun is higher, ‘weather warmer and the streams less crowded, then take up the . challenge of pulling in the big ones that really make fishing a sport? Best of success either way! Hurrah for Jello! Get ready for the big_day! Budding trees mean biting trout BY JENNIFER WILSON Post Outdoor Writer Well it’s almost here, the moment you've all been waiting for--trout season. With trout season comes the added bonus of Spring. When the buds start to break, the trout start to bite. On April 16 the lakes and streams will be filled with eager fishermen waiting for that first fish to bite. The fish commission has been stocking since March 1st and there have been a total of five and a half million trout stocked in Pennsyl- vania waters. That is a lot of fish. These fish come from hatcheries in Pleasant Mtn. Wayne County and Belfont in Centre County. The three types of fish that the fish commission stock our waters with are the brook, rainbow and brown trout. The brook trout is commonly known as the native trout. This| particular trout may be identified by its square tail and red spots on ‘its sides. The fins are white on the edges and the lower fins are outlined in red. Scientifi- cally this fish is not a true trout but a char. The second type of fish, the Jr. High wrestlers place In the recent Junior High School District Wrestling Tourna- ment, Dallas Junior High School had three athletes place in the final four. The three boys were repeat semi-finalists from last year. Pat Morris earned a fourth place finish at 90 pounds, Francis Hoover gained a third place finish at 80 pounds and Eric Wiliams became. the District Champion in the 70 pound weight category.

DENMON Staff Writer ‘Lake-Lehman Coach Dwight Bar- bacci’s Black Knights took the Div- ‘ision AA title last season despite a 9-9 record and advance to within one game of advancing to the final four teams in States when they lost to Newport in a 12-inning game. ~“Barbacci has five starters return- ing from last season but he lost key starters through graduation. Chris -Landmesser, Walt Konopke, Jason Cadwalader, Todd Krupa, Don Spencer and Rick Titus played in “critical positions, in the infield, “behind the plate and Spencer in the outfield. ; ‘Despite that, Barbacci has “enough solid players returning to .make his Knights a threat again ~this season. His players look good “in practice and their greatest strength is their pitching. Their hitting is also strong-Keith Schultz, who averated .422 last season, Todd Sallo wih a .421 average, Brett Evans, a strong hitter, Rob Michaels and Chris Engel. The Knights also have a lot of speed. Barbacci’s concern, if any, is with his defense because of the inexperience of some of the boys since the kids he lost were in these positions. He is also working with them to become more aggressive. Schultz wil Ipitch and play right field. Chris Engle will be at second, Sallo will be in centerfield when he isn’t pitching, Rich James will be at the third base corner and Rob Michaels, who played centerifeld last season will pitch and play shortstop. Senior Brett Evans will be on first when not pitching and Engle will play first when Evans is pitch- ing. Kevin Carey will be in the outfield and Mike Strutko, Rick 5 nights will prove to be threat Hynick and Ron Leskoski are com- peting for second base. Sophomore J.J. Konigus will be behind the plate and Jim Chamber- lain in left field. John Reed and Paul Bullock will be in the infield or behind the plate and John Grey and Mike Ferrara will see some action, Grey infield or outfield and Ferrara in the outfield. The Knights open tomorrow with Bishop O'Reilly away. There is no doubt the other teams will consider the Knights the team to beat since they are last year’s champion. G.A.R. and Meyers are always competitive and Northwest always has a good team. This year the Knights play every team in their division twice and only the champ goes into the play- offs, so they will be looking for another title to advance to the championship playoffs. And she’s out! rainbow trout, is speckled with small black spots on its back and tail. Along its sides are pink or red color markings, depending on the water it inhabits. Lastly, the brown trout is more scaly than either the brookie or the rainbow. On its sides are red spots encircled with light rings. This trout may be colored a muddy brown or a bright golden brown. Trout feed on insects, crusta- ceans, worms, and smaller fishes. When using insects for bait, the most popular method is the fly- fishing outfit. In the beginning of the season wet flies are better than dry flies. The reason being that the trout lie close to the bottom when the water temperature is colder and the wet fly will sink to the bottom. After the water tempera- ture gets above 55 degrees the aquatic flies are hatching and the dry flies may be used. Earthworms may be found where the soil is fertile. If the ground is dry you may want to put a few buckets of water on the ground a few hours before you go fishing and this will bring the worms closer to the surface. Nightwalkers are noc- turnal and may be retrieved at night. You have to sneak up on Baranowski’ BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Coach John Baranowski’s Black Knights volleyball continued to win last week by defeating the Nanti- coke Trojans 15-6, 15-4 behind the spiking of Allen Andes who had eight kills in eight attempts and Alex Frederick with four kills in six attempts. Frederick also had five aces in 12 attempts serving and John Baranowski had 23 assists and only one error. The win ran the Knights record to 4-0 Thursday when they defeated the West Side Titans 15-3, 15-1. Andes and Eric Maruca made five of eight kill attempts and Stan Scott made four of four attempts. This past week the PA Volleyball Coach Association Poll ranked the Knights second in the Eastern Pennsylvania teams which are Eastern York, first; Lake-Lehman, second; Northeastern York, third; Western York, fourth; Emmaus, fifth; Central Dauphin, Dallastown, died for sixth; York suburban, eighth; State College, ninth and Easton, 10th. In the entire state of Pennsyl- vania, the Knights are ranked fifth among 20 teams with Derry, Cen- tral York, Plum and North Alle- gheny the only teams ahead of them. them with a flashlight. Don’t just pull them up, but wait for their muscles to relax and you will be able to get them out of the ground in one piece. If you have a garden in one piece. If you have a garden you might want to make a compost heap out of your grass cuttings and dead leaves. This will be alive with worms summer. Minnows are a great bait for trout. There are several different ways to hook the minnow. You may want to hook it through both lips, or vehind the dorsal fin. There are minnow rigs that you may pur- chase at the bait shops. These hook down through the mouth and out the body. This will curve the minnow and make it spin through the water. Last but the least there is the spinner. These are artificial lures that work great in the small streams and are convenient and less time consuming than live bait. Make sure you have several differ- ent varieties as the trout may not be biting on one particular lure. Whatever bait you choose you can almost be guaranteed to catch some trout. s boys win This past weekend, the Knights played in the Central York Tourna- ment and were scheduled to meet Coughlin last night.
