He reported walleye fishing excellent in the mouth of the Rainy river as the fish are following a minnow migration into shallow water.

DEER RIVER Jerry Swan-son said there are slightly more birds than last year in this area, but hunters weren't getting at them because of heavy foliage. He, his son Tommy and John Carroll of Deer River hunted west of town and got three partridge the first three hours. But they saw 10 or 11 birds which flushed wild. Ross Weekley of Deer River and Ed Schumacher of Cohasset bagged only two partridge the opening afternoon hunting near Bass Lake. Swanson said, "We need a couple more heavy frosts to get vegetation down before hunting will be good." GRAND MARAIS Harold Benson, sporting goods store owner, reported partridge up considerably over last year.

But he said hunting was tough because vegetation is still heavy on the trees. Road hunters were not having much luck, but those who got back in the woods and used dogs did very well. Benson said rainbow trout fishing in the North Shore streams is now at a peak for the year with water conditions perfect. INTERNATIONAL FALLS Wayne Judy of Sportsmen's Service here reported partridge more plentiful than last year on both the Ontario and "Minnesota sides of the Rainy river and Rainy lake.

We had everything that an African safari could orovide imaybe not to such a high degree but we had adventure, the thrill of seeing huge herds of game, lots of good food and companionship. Results? Twenty-one deer and fouf antelope. We all had deer permits, but only five held antelope licenses, putting the success ratio just one pronghorn jump below 100 per cent OXE JUMP is all an antelope needs to get away, as I found out.

Clear skies created good hunting conditions although the birds were holding tight because of high westerly winds. McGREGOR Warden Jim Marcum said this area has "quite a few birds, more than last year," but hunters were having difficulty getting them up in the heavy cover. Foliage is still very heavy. Marcum said hunting should be much better two weeks from now when much of the foliage will have disappeared.

WALKLS Clem Plattner, publisher of the Walker Pilot, said opening day weather was perfect, with the woods dry, but underbrush is very green because of heavy recent rains. He said hunters had to get back into the thickest cover to flush partridges. Warden Al Hoger of Walker reported partridge as plentiful as last year, but he said he did not think they had increased in this area. Milt Uglem of Walker was the first hunter back in town with two birds. Sandy Sandstrom, also of Walker, came in with two after three hours of hunting.

WARROAD Cal Man-in of Manin's motel rated opening day partridge hunting "very poor" with the "fewest outside hunters in the last 10 years." Warden John Parker checked 19 hunters the first two hours and they had only two birds. Vegetation on trees is still heavy. Although birds were scarce around Warroad, one was killed when it flew into Cal's front window of his home in town and another met the same fate when it flew through the front window of the home of Cal's brother Bill. The Beltrami forest area south of town is reported to have a better partridge population. Owner Ticioi perrcct game or at least a 279.

Helen settled for 267. The third game, a 204, was another "what might have been." After an error jn the fourth, the 5 pin off Jhe 8. she moved into the 10th frame working on a strike. Then she fouled! The second pick was good for all 10 pins and Helen capped the series ith a strike in the 11th. "Am I high in the country that's wonderful," she remarked.

i HAD some luck and some crossovers, but not too manv," Helen explained. "The ball (154 pounds, conventional grip) was working pood." Miss Wuollet's top previous series in 15 years was a 662. Her highest average last season was 1 84 with a composite 77.

In his plant at 3400 Nicollet Av. he has turned out a poly-ethlylyn plastic sheet 20x40 feet with which he has improvised a pothole in a cornfield or dried up slough where there is none.

The idea is to spread the sheet out on dry land, set decoys over it and the ducks come piling in, thinking it's the only water around. Canadiens Top A.tarC h.
