Trout fever Is In the air!

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. Pictured from left, Pat Morris,
Eric Williams and Francis Hoover.

School. A large crowd turned out to see the wrestlers get smeared, splattered, and sticky in the
annual event. Pictured above are; Shelby Napersteck, and Kathy Lasecki. (Lynn Sheehan Photo)

‘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

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

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.
