Localite Dave Patterson has signed and Stewart feels confident Dave will make the first team. Dave has had no experience in Coast play but he has speed and interest which will make up for lack of experience. The other two are Pete Dyminck, a Dutch boy who has been in Canada for five years and played with Royals in 1955-56.

Injuries kept him out in 1957. He is a goalkeeper and received a Dominion medal in '55. Joe Robbins, a Victoria boy is the other. He has 10 years' experience in Coast League, also winning a medal' with Royals in 1955. He is a centre half or left back.

Roy McAlpine and Bob Semple Jr. have been appointed to look after entertainment for the opening game. Pete Mc-Cusker Is parks chairman. Semple and Bob Johnson are handling the fund drive. Dick Mosher is job-placement chairman.

In most cases they travel around juliixils and in cool or stormy weather they go down too deep for sport fL-Jung, but if we should have a few days of warm sunshine, they will come up to the top and then we will have the best sport of the -year, with a bucktail fly.

Tins past two years, early in April, three in a small putter, we have caught our limit in less than one hour around the bell buoy and Snake Island. Bucktail Fly Fishing First find the fish on top. you can see them jump from a long way off. I use a fairly light rod, about 10 lb. test line in front of th buck tall fly.

I put a small Tacoma spinner, either silver or bronze, as close to the fly as possible, just enough room for the spoon to work and I chop off the hair about level with the back hook on the fly, put a split B.B. shot about three or four feet ahead of the fly, just enough to keep the spinner below the surface. I don't think the speed of the boat is so very important as on three or four occasions when we were travelling out to fish, in a small boat and inboard motor, I have dropped the fiy over while we were at top speed and had strikes and even caught fish, while travelling at top speed. I have also caught fish on fly while the others in the boat were trolling. Distance from the boat is also not too important, but a lot of people like to fish in the wake of the propeller, about 30 or 40 feet out and do not follow a straight course with the boat, but zig zag over and around where you see the fish on the surface.

Always take along more than one fly, as they get "beat up" in a hurry. Try fishing this way and I don't think you will want to fish for lueback any other way. DARE WE ADD Adding, and in line with Bucktail's experienced Information, wouldn't it be a nice gesture on the part of some Nanaimo organization when the tourists start coming to a picture be taken of them and their catch and sent back to their hometown paper with no charge. It would, in our estimation, be worth hundreds of dollars in excellent publicity for our city, and would draw many more tourists to our fishing grounds. Nanaimo is becoming one of the most frequented sport fisliing spots on the coast, both satt water and fresh.

Movie stars, such as Bing Crosby, Phil Harris and many others, have made it a point in the last couple of years to stop off and try their luck in Kanaka Bay. Hundreds of American yachts call in here and invariably stop over to try their luck. We could add to this by the picture angle, publicizing Nanaimo as a popular sport fishing centre.
