This is not the kind of weather nor the time of year that prompts Mr, Average Fisherman to grab rod and launch his boat. However, for many, the icy weather just adds to the challenge of the sport. Jack Tacker of Lake Tenkiller tells us that Saturday, when the temperature was 12 degrees with 35 miles per hour winds, the foursome of Jimmy Houston, and Jerry Donley of Cookson and Jim Reed and Gary Davis of Tulsa did that. They grabbed their rods and launched their boat and went out after black bass.

As the boat soon iced over inside and out, they were compelled to make for the docks every hour or so to warm up a little. The total patch wasn't loo big, but they scored enough to make it a successful trip. The biggest black was a five- pounder caught by Jim Reed on a Hellbender. Jack said last week Carl Martin and friend from Fort Smith got 159 sand bass, all of which were big ones around pounds.

River Re-Stocked The Illinois River, was re-stocked with trout just below the dam about a week ago. The generators have kept the water turbulent which was rather tpugh on the fishermen but excellent for fish catching. Most are getting their limit of trout and anything less than the limit is the exception. Woody Donley said the only fishing around Elk Creek has been their tame ducks swimming around after little fish, but this weekend he noticed the ducks were not swimming but walking around on the frozen lake with attitude that said, "Wot happened?"
