Late spring and early
summer is a time of new
sunshine, warm rain, grow-
ing grass and dandelions,
but more importantly, it is
also a time for fishing. In
spring the fisherman is
among the luckiest of men,
for available to his is the
antidote to spring fever and
an excuse for getting out
into the open air. This
excuse comes in the call of
the Susquehanna small
mouth bass. (Season opens
June 14.)
Since fishermen are
sound-minded men, we re-
treat from the battle against
the dandelion and growing
grass, responding to the call
that comes from the
depths of nearby waters.

locally, is the thrill of trying
17 New bisven st. M1. Joy to catch the air climbing, tail
a. walking, head shaking ,
small mouth bass. Pound for

pound, the fighting qualities
of our smallmouths are not
matched in fresh water
- fishing, and the mild suc-
culent flavor is among the
best of fresh water fish.
These bass are bred and
hatched free, in the wild,
and willing to fight you to
frazzle trying to stay that
way.
Smallmouths are easy to
catch or impossible to catch,
depending on their mood.
My children have caught
them on worms with the
most inexpensive of rods,
while men in specially
designed ‘‘Bass Boats’’ with
several thousand dollars
worth of equiptment often
fail.
Bass can sometimes be
coaxed into a biting mood
any time of the day, in any
month of the year, but there
are some ‘‘best’” times.

Well informed tour guides explain the
many facets of brewing in the upper and
lower levels of Lancaster County’s oldest
brewery. Giant vats are still in place within
the Lagering Cellar. The fermented brew was
placed in wooden casks in order to age for a
period of 30 days before being drawn off into
smaller kegs which were stored 43 feet below the
street surface. Temperature remains around 50 de-
grees year around in the Catacombs.

Catching smallmouths
in the Susquehanna
By J. L. Biesecker
75°F and when the stream is
on the rise, but not muddy,
bass seem to feed best. Late
afternoon and nights after a
sunshiny day also seem to
encourage the larger bass
into cooperation. My largest
bass of the 1974 season was
caught at twilight faded into
darkness.
Fickle, is the only word
that can describe the bass
when it comes to suggesting
the type of lures they will
take. The most successful
lures are six-inch black
worms with pork-rind,
Floating Rapala, Rebel,
Flatfish, Meeps and other
spinners. Night fishing calls
for noisy top water plugs
such as Torpedo and Talking
Minnow. None of these
guarantee success. Today’s
bass producing lure is often
tomorrow’s failure. I have
wasted many hours insisting
the bass accept the lure that
had taken their brethern
several days earlier. Some
days, every lure in the box
fails to produce results. I
pretend to be discouraged,
but actually use my days of
failure as an excuse to
return to the river sooner
than I might have otherwise.
When the artificial lures
fail, live bait will often bring
in the bass. Minnows are
good, Crayfish are better
and Hellgrammites are best.
Hellgrammites are difficult
to find since they are easily
killed by pollution, but they
are worth the effort expend-
ed in searching them out
In fact, any work that one
must do to assist in the
catching of Susquehanna
smallmouth bass is worth
the energy used. When you
have experienced the jolt of
this green shaft of lighten-
ing striking out of the
depths, smashing into the
lure, sending a tingle
through the body and
raising the hair on the nape
of the neck, you will agree
that it is worth the work.
After you have come to
know and respect our
Susquehanna Scrapper, you
will also answer his call. He
calls you to come test your
skills, match your wits and
take a chance. The exper-
ience will leave you wide-
eyed and anxious for more.
See you June 14th on the
Susquehanna
