2%, “several good fly fishing spots) Sportmen Paradis THEY’RE BITING s WHERE, WHEN and HOW and Other Sportsmen’s Items e Reports are that Scotts Flat is getting fairly well fished out although hundreds are expected at the new lake again this holiday week-end. More than 200 limits were taken from the lake on the Memorial day week-end. An authoritative sources tells us Fordyce creek and the Yuba river are excellent fishing this week, but that all fishermen in the high country should take the precaution of wearing high Trubber boots for protection against snakes. Fishermen coming from the, streams. say this is the worst year in many for snakes with one report claiming two rattlers were observed at Culbertson with snow patches still on the ground. * * & A windy weekend caused rough water and spoiled the fishing somewhat in Bowman, Spaulding, French, Independence, Donner and others of the larger lakes. Our genial secretary: of the Chamber of Commerce was up to some of these lakes over the weekend and reported ill luck, a common complaint of most fishermen. Like the fisherman we met in Coos Bay last year who said the luck was lousy and yet we saw several 20-pound stripers in his creel. ’ As a whole though troll fishing has been slacking off and, have been cleaned, particularly . the Black lake’. Phoenix lake has been reported with rough fish and to be ghied from. If you like the small brook trout Milk lake is swarming with them, but if you like to stretch your arms when reporting your catch try Culbertson and _ the Crooked lakes. Some 20-inchers are being snagged there. Rock and Shotgun are still good. Sierra county lakes—Gold, Packer, Young America, Deer and the, Sardine lakes—are still furnishing excellent catches, although some Waltoneers have had to resort te a variety of baits. The fish in*these lakes are apparently becoming educated to the wiles of the veteran sportsmen. ‘ * * * Hunters and trappers of the division of fish and game removed a total of. 712 predatory animals during the month of May, reports the bureau of game conservation. From 29 counties, state em-. ployees took 249 coyotes, 142 bobcats, 146 foxes, 47 skunks, .43 raccoons, 26 porcupines, 27 badgers, and 32 lesser predators. Pelts of fur-bearing animals are sold to commercial dealers, with proceeds added to the fish and game preservation fund. By counties, the following animals were taken during the month: El Dorado—6 coyotés, 5 . . bobcats, 6 raccons, 2 foxes; Nevada-Sierra—7 coyotes, 1 bobcat, 3 porcupines; Nevada-Yuba—4 coyotes, 6 raccoons, 4 foxes, 8 skunks, 1 porcupine, 1 bear; Plumas—23 coyotes, 12 bobcats. s * * There’s a ray of hope for California farmers plagued with crop eating deer. It is contained in the monthly report of the division of fish and game which reveals continuing experiments with deer repellent sprays. In recent years, the state’s alltime high population of deer and unprecedented development of agricultural land have combined to make trouble for landowners, the division of fish and game, and the deer. In a cautiously worded report, Bureau Chief Joseph S. Hunter tells of successful spraying experiments in. the Napa valley vineyard country. New chemical compounds, he announced, have produced promising results even under adverse weather conditions. Experiments will continue until a fool-proof spray is devel-. oped, Hunter concluded, at which time the bureau’s findings will be available to California landowners. ¢ ¢ € From the Mount Shasta hatchery, 59,473 catchable-sized rainbow and eastern brook trout were planted in northern Cali-and fishing. the month of May, reports the division of fish and game. = s & More than 120,000 rainbow . trout were planted in Plumas county waters during the month of May by crews from the Lake . Almanor hatchery of the division . of fish and game. * * * Calaveras and Tuolumne county waters received a plant of 20,603 catchable-sized rainbow trout during the month of May, reports the division of fish and game. * + * Since the first open hunting season on antelope in the Modoc Lassen area in 1942, the herd has increased from 3,600 to 4,675, reports the division of fish and game. * * * The following general regulations apply to, current hunting BLACK BASS—Bag limit: five fish.
