Now about ten years old, it offers good fishing for bass, walleye and rainbow trout, not to mention some sport with crappie, bluegills and catfish. Unheard of a decade ago, it rates a date on many sportsmen's calendars. Winter fishing in these parts may be considered to be the brain child of the late Dr. R. V.

Eschraeyer, a former fisheries biologist for TV A. He recommended that fishing should be permitted at any time, night or day, summer or winter. He didn't believe in such things as closed seasons and gave many biological reasons as to why they were unnecessary. In 1949, the Tennessee Fish and Game Commission pioneered ear-round open seasons. Other states, including Kentucky, followed soon thereafter.

Winter fishing, previously tried only by a few hardy advocates on a more or less experimental basis, rapidly took hold. Some of the best catches of the entire year now are made in January and February. As a rule, fresh-water fishes are less active in winter than in warmer weather. And there is much variation among them in the degree to which they are active. Fish are cold blooded animals in that their blood is the same temperature as the water in which they live.

When the water becomes cold, the fish become sluggish and are cot as active as when the water is warm. Many fresh water fishes probably have little appetite during the inter months because e( their lowered metabolism. Food that fish eat during the cold winter months may stay in their stomachs several weeks before it is digested. But they do feed Time daring the winter and there- fore they can be caught by those who know how to fish for them. Three wintertime methods of fiihing have become vcr? popular with Kentucky anglers.

Heading the list is "jig fishing," a muddy water sport that usually gives good results. Recently, veteran "jiggers" have discovered that this method will take a big bass in clear water as well as in muddy water. The secret is little deeper with a little less When the United Major stopped off at Eden Lanes last DFcviaiuia uau mc ucuc- fit of illuminated scoring screens for the second time (Thelmal was the other site).

The third method of fishing for rainbow trout below the Dix River and Wolfe Creek dams is the least popular. But it is worth a try on an experimental basis.

Dock owners aren't so busy and they can take a much more personal interest in the winter angler. All in all, It is an excellent time to go fishing. And it will pay off big if given a real 9 Earthworms In Winter Quarters The angler who hasn't stored away some fishing worms for use in winter will certainly have to wait until spring for his favorite bait. Earthworms are hard to secure after the first real freeze. The earthworm cannot live In dry ground; It must have' moisture.

And the most favorable times of year from the viewpoint of moisture and temperature are spring and fall. On warm, moist nights of early fall, earthworms can be found in large numbers on the surface of the ground, but with the first hint of freezing they disappear. At this time they do not go deep into the ground, but remain near the surface and reappear on warm nights. As cold weather gradually sets in, they burrow perpendicularly or obliquely downward and hibernate 3 to 6 feet below the surface, the depth depending upon the frost line. Here in winter, as in the droughts of summer, they gather by the dozens or.

hundreds in rounded chambers, huddling together in close-packed balls to conserve their moisture, Occasionally they are frozen when but a few inches from the surface, caught there while numbed by the cold. Experiments have shown that they are often killed by cold only a little below the freezing point of water. Earthworms come promptly to the surface in the spring on the first nights after the ground has completely thawed. And once: more they become a favorite lure for the fishing fra-; ternity. Sportsman's Scattershots As'the New Yeear begins, an excellent reminder to the hunter is given in the Carling Conservation Monthly Digest.

Each year, 64,800 cubic feet of American earth is excavated to make, graves for the unfortunate victims of what are inaccurately termed hunting "accidents." Although the value of the human body, once assessed at 98 cents, has risen to $1.17, this still doesn't seem like good soil management. PHEASANT Oct.
