THE MORNING HERALD-THE EVENING STANDARD The Outdoors Deep Creek Record Pike A record northern pike has been taken out of Deep Creek Lake. The lucky angler was Charles Craver of Green Glade who landed a northern going 44 inches and weighing 19 tt pounds It's the largest ever taken in the neighboring state. The large fish hit a shiner on April 20. Where? Mr. Craver is keeping that a secret.

The spring fishing has been good at Deep Creek, reports Johnny Marple of Johnny's Bait House. "We expect to see more bass caught this year than ever before." Mr. Marple went on: "In just one week we've seen a half dozen largemoulh bass weighing in over six pounds and two over seven." The Deep Creek largemouth record was set last year when Ike Ison of McHenry took a 24 Vz-incher going nine pounds, 14 ounces. It was caught at Marsh Hill Cove below the Wisp Ski area. Johnny credits the excellent catches at present to more fishermen turning out.

And he adds: "If you want to get big catches, come in the spring of the year." Mr. Marple, however, stressed that "Deep Creek is not an easy lake. It's a lake that takes time and patience. It's definitely getting better every Artificial lures are tops at present, said Johnny. The weekly fishing contest at the lake, cosponsored by Johnny's Bait House and Deck Creek Lake-Garrett County Promotion Council, began on May 1.

Trophies will be awarded at the end of the summer for the top catches. Also slated for Deep Creek this summer is the Maryland Bass Federation tournament to decide the slate team. It will be held June 4-5. Those wishing accommodations information and a vacation guide booklet for Garrett County should write: Promotion Council, Room 300 Courthouse, Oakland, Md. 21550 or call 301-334-388B.

Trout, Are Available "There's a lot of trout left in the streams and lakes," says Stan Plevyak, Washington's County waterways patrolman. Because of the clear water during the first weeks of the season, the fishing has been "very slow," said Stan. Even those following the hatchery trucks for in- season stocks weren't doing much good, he said. The result is that the trout are now scattered and a good carryover is evident. At Aunt Claras Fork, there has been some nice brown action.

Some of the anglers are losing the fish. One sportsman checked in with a 16-inch brookie at Dutch Fork Lake, an apparent carryover from the winter season. Dutch Fork is also yielding some crappies. "You may have to catch eight or nine before you get a decent one," said Stan. The small ones are running 7-8 inches while the nice ones are in the 10-13-inch class.

"One guy said he was getting them on every cast," said Stan. Btuejisli Is Landed According to the latest report of Maryland's Dept. of Natural Resources, a 12-pound bluefish was caught near the CTt Buoy. It was the season's first. Chesapeake Beach charterboats have been catching a few rockfish in the 14-pound class at CR Buoy, Parker's Creek and at Gas Buoy 71.

"Big spoons, silver ones and white ones, and big bucktails have been the best offerings," said the department. Most of the rocks have been hooked in water 45-50 feet. Tilghman Island skippers report stripers weighing 8-15 pounds falling for bucktails trolled on the surface. Meanwhile, upper Chesapeake fishing has been slow, said the department. Tangier Sound net fishermen report catching hardheads (croakers) and gray trout.

On the seaside, scattered flounder catches have been noted in Sinepuxent Bay. Off-shore mackerel action is fast. Hi-To Fishing You talk about happy faces, said Glenn Myers of Hi-To Lake. "You should have seen Bruce Beres of Fairchance." Bruce, who is 11, checked in with a 19-inch tagged rainbow the other day. He was one happy boy, said Mr.

Myers. He was given $5. Mrs. Butch Moscovits, a beginning angler, took nine trout "I know of," said Mr. Myers.

When last checked, her husband had landed four. George Rebovich of Uniontown took two limits one day and was working on a second limit on another occasion. Bob Shantyfelter of Uniontown also had a double pass. Although Hi-To stocks a large tagged golden every Saturday, only one has been caught so far, said Mr. Myers.

The result was a lot of smallmouth bass being caught.
