ALL (OUTDOORS I Cells, Hawks Belasky, Robins On Aj the (rout fishing season got under way last week, the sky poured additional April on the countryside making the weekend fishing most discouraging and unproductive. Streams were starling lo drop and Ihe water was in the procea of clearing up a lillle when the Sunday rains set the whole program back to conditions that prevailed on the opening day. If you were one of the few, who caught trout Friday, consider yourself very lucky as the take was one of the lowest in the history of opening days. High waler and muddy streams were counly-wide and many anglers didn't even gel their line in the right places, as Ihe high walerj were way over the banks in many of the good fishing holes. Don Wolfe managed to take Ihree nice Browns on nalurals.

The fish were wild trout and not of the stocked variety, full of bright color and plenty of iighl once they were on. Holding (he worm in (he right place was the most difficult job in catching these fine trout as they went over the 12-inch mark. All the anglers checked on the Poestenkill had empty creels while those on the Wynantskill and Quackenkill fared much boiler wilh a few fish being laken on worms in these smaller streams. The Kmdcrhook was crowded with anglers, but the fish were not too cooperative on the slate stretch of fine water heavy stocking of this stream will mean better fishing'as the days get warmer and the slream 'gets baric to normal. The eeder brooks of all our trout streams will be the best bet during he high waler period, so try your luck in the smaller streams until you can get better water conditions on the other streams.

Crow shooting can be one of the best 'ways lo improve your wing shooting, for Ihe black birds are nol scarce and there is no closed season on (hem all year long. Right now the birds are moving about and coming up from Iheir Winter homes so large flocks of crows can be found righl now in many sections of'our county.
