I.N BASEBALL Two Buffey featured Ice fishing from now until the ice breaks up is normally the best of the winter. And reports indicate that to be the case once again. Success was excellent on whitefish last weekend at Lake Wabamun. Walleye success at the more popular lakes as Moose, at Bonnyville, and those in the Lac la Biche area, also has picked up.

Bob Sekersky of Radway reports that angling has been great at Hanmore Lake. He caught a 22-pound pike and a six-pound lake whitefish a week ago Saturday. "Who says fishing isn't good at Hanmore?" askes Sekersky. who also offers to tell his favorite angling tips for catching the big ones to anyone telephoning him at 735-3546. Gordon Ravmond has" been named president of the Edmonton Trout Fishing Club, succeeding Chuck Tebby for tb.2 corning season.

Lloyd Shea is vice-president and Walt Jean-dron continues at secretary-director. The club meets again this evening at St. Basil's school with the program on steelhead fishing in B.C. Journal about-town columnist Barry Westgate delights in taking pot shots at we in the sports department, because he is an enthusiastic sports fan. Barry golfs, bonspiels sometimes, plays rugger, jogs, plays the ponies and occasionally participates in a strenuous round of cricket.

He's a pro boxing fan, too. Westgate's favorite target is The Journal's horse race and curling expert, Don Fleming. Barry may know something about his favorite sports, but I know for a fact that he is on unfamiliar ground when he discusses outdoor recreational sports. Many times over the years I have attempted to prod tfastgate into getting out of his smoggy restrictive city life habitat to explore Alberta's great outdoors activities. fulaly refused to try his hand at skiing, he's strongly against the principles of hunting, but now he may finally hare stepped too far.

Monday, Westgate mentioned my participation in the April 5-9 Edmonton Boat, Trailer and Sports Show at the Exhibition Grounds in that I shall join the show's outdoor scenario that features horse packing demonstrations and a sourdough Dutch oven campfire cooking course. I am to merely decorate the scenario, backed up by a rack of large regional maps of Alberta's hunting and fishing country. It's called "Gary Cooper's Camping College of Woodsy Knowledge." But my role will be simply to answer questions that I can on a broad range of outdoor sports subjects as hunting, fishing, camping, boating, trapshooting or skiing. Vancouver Sun outdoor columnist Lee Straight performed the service for the first time at the recent Vancouver Boat Show. Straight is the dean of outdoors paradise of British Columbia more, undoubtedly that I do Alberta's.

But Lee told me he thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet and swap information with his readers. From talking with them, he added a few extra things to his vast knowledge of B.C. hunting and fishing sports as well as to answer their questions. I'm looking forward to it. Meanwhile, another guest at the Edmonton show will be Ted Peck of Vancouver, who was a most popular outdoor sports personage on the television "Tides and Trails" show that ran out a few years back.

Peck is being brought here by the Sportsman cigarette peop'c who spon-ored the defunct "Tides and Trails" TV series. His display features a fly-tying demonstration, and I know he's going to be bombarded with questions from loal anglers who are planning salmon and steelhead fishing vacations into B.C. this summer. Peck, incidentally, will also be selling subscriptions to Jack Rundle's fine B.C. Fish and Wildlife magazine, with a percentage of the subscription rate consigned to the financially-troubled Canadian Wildlife Federation.

Peck told me the Vancouver show effort raised a little more than $1,000 for the federation. But getting back to Westgate, his libelous statement Monday that I did not succeed in catching a trout at last year's Edmonton show, but had to resort to a net, finally leaves Breezy Barry open to a challenge that if he is truly a sportsman and a punter he cannot refuse. lit calls for a duel. Choose your weapon, Westgate: walleye, perch or trout? I hereby appoint Fleming as my second; iou may choose Wayne Overland. As soon as the ice breaks up, Westgate, its finally out into the wilderness for you, into a boat and onto a lake.

you out-fish me, I shall forefeit a weekend of fishing this summer to endure an entire Sunday afternoon at Victoria Park as a cricket fan. If you lose, you take one two-hour learn-to-ski lesson from Lake Eden Ski School director Alex Ball next winter.
