OUTDOORS IN TEXAS
By VEEN SANFORD
> Least understood, yet the most
vital piece of equipment for the
fisherman, is the hook.
Most anglers are casual in
their selection of hooks. Yet the
hook is the primary link bet-
ween fisherman and quarry.
More fish are lost because of in-
ferior hooks than any other

piece of equipment.
In any sporting goodo store
there will be countless bins of
different hoks. Offhand most of
them look pretty much alike.
But upon closer inspection you'll
find that all differ in one or sev-
eral respects. A seemingly in-
significant Hiing like the point
can distinguish whether or not a
hook is run-of-the-mill or qua-
lity merchandise.
A poorly manufactured hook
has a conventional round bend,
has a point which won't hold its
sharpness and rusts easily. When
you buy a cheap hook you get
just what you pay for. . .a hook
that will lose its sharpness after
one or two fishing trips. And
unless you inspect the point per-
iodicaly, dullness may cause you
to miss fish.
For example, when angling
with live minnows you should
use a thin-wire hook, preferably
one with a wide bend. A heavy-
shanked hook wounds the bait.

often mortally. Ob a thin-wire
hook the minnow will remain
alive mui'ii longer.
With a wide bend hook, the
point extends farther beyond the
minnow and allows easier hook-
ing of a fish that might take the
bait.
Most common hook is the or
dinary round bend hook. But
hooks with a more oblong shape
like the Eagle Claw, are very
popular among Texas fishermen.
Two of the mo^ common
hooks are the Aberdeen and the
Carlisle. The Aberdeen (a style
of hook arid not an exclulsive
brand name) usually is made of
thin wire with a large bend. The
Carlisle has a long shank and
a round return bend and is
made of regular wire.
Basically, hooks come in three
shank lengths: short, regular
and long.
Size of the hook is important
\ general tendency among fish-
■rmen is to employ hooks that
are too large. Even a small hook
will catch big fish if the fisher-
man plays the catch properly
ind knows how to handle his
equipment efficiently.
A perch or bream fisherman
'or instance, might select a No. C
hook when a smaller No. 10.
.vould be far more appropriate.
What goes with this number-
ing system? Largest, numbers
for smallest hooks?
Well, hooks are graded ac-
cording to different sizes, de-
signated by numbers. In the
smallest sizes, hooks range
from No. 1 to No. 22 (the latter
is the tiny one kids catch min-
nows on). The larger sizes run
from 1-0 up to about 20-0. The
difference between a No. 1 and
a No. 1-0 is four, sizes, so don't
confuse the two.
Basically, hooks have one of
hree different bends — round,
parabolic and square, or vari-
ations of the three. The Aber-
deen, as an example, is slightly
■square, while the O'Shaughnessy
is parabolic.
You don't see extremely
square hooks anymore since
they have a tendency to break
it the abrupt bends.
A hook is composed of the
'. ye, where you tie the line, the
;hank, the bend, the barb and
I bo point.
That protrusion which pre-
■ents a hook from slipping out
< the barb. That part of the
look from the barb to the tip,
nid probably the most import-
int feature on the hook, is the
point. One with a bad point is
iraetically worthless.
Quality hooks come with hoi-
low-iground points. These fea-
ture razor-shar.2 points and
curved barbs which insure max-
rnum penetration and holding
lower. The "claw" point, a fea-
ture of the Eagle Claw hook,
.•urves in slightly. This cuts
iown on penetration a bit but it
holds better once imbedded.
Straight spear points general-
ly are found only on cheap, in-
erior hooks. They won't hold
their edge very long.
He$ks come Ihi several dif-
'erent finishes— bronze, bright
;old-plated. nickel finished, tin-
ied, japanned, and blued. The
ironze hook is perhaps the rnosl
•ommon. But finish-wise it is a
>oor choice since it tends to rus1
easily if not kept dry and away
rom moisture. Bronze hooky
usually are :'heap hooks.
Nickel-finish hooks are found
>n salt-water lures. They rtvisi
corrosion and stay sharp. Almost
as good is the tinned hook.
Hooks with these two finishes
ire the most expensive.
Third in quality is the japan-
inish, which is a lacquer finish
if blue-black. This hook has
'air resistance to rust and run:-
dightly cheaper in price than
he nickel plated or tinned.
Gold-plated hooks are very
popular, but they have a ten-
lency to tarnish easily.
Wise fishermen know and un-
derstand hooks. In that moment
) ftrutb, when a fish strikes, it
may msan the difference bet-
ween adding something to the
stringer or just a story to tpll
about the big one that got away.

Mesdames Arnold Wallace,
Frank liorgman, Jack Douglass,
Marvin Lott. .Jr.. Fred Dalby, Ii.
G. Cook Jr., and Carl W. Dun-
can hosted a coffee for Mrs.
Troy Lemley on Friday morning
in Hickman's Rose Room. Phoe-
nix Club members were guests.
The Lemley's are moving to
Guthrie where Mr. Lemley will
he Superintendent of Schools.
Mrs. Lem"ey's chairmanship
on the Mesquite District Board
TFWC, in the Fine Arts Depart-
ment and her love for all child-
ren prompted the lovely favors
which were made by Special
Education Children. They were
feckled-faced boys and girls with
pipecleaner bodies. A poem of
'arewell to Mrs. Lemley, by
Mrs. Duncan bore a cultural arts
hand painted cover of arts in
nany forms.
This being the last meeting of
he group until Fall, the tradi-
ional vote was taken for the
avorite or outstanding program
>f the past year. The Cultural
Arts Program held recently in
he lovely ranch of home of
4rs. J. I). Patterson .Jr... reeeiv-
d (he most votes with the most
reasons why. Members listed
hese:
1. Mrs. Patterson, always the
'.racious and kind hostess, gave
he group a "cook's tour" of her
■ntire home, sharing happily her
treasured masterpieces even the
time of her first paintings, her
iifts and collections from her
rips abroad, all in a modest
manner.
2. She insisted that her teach-
•r, Mrs. Leta Evans of Abilene,
hare all praise of artistry with
ler and especially on her beau-
iful hand-painted china.
3. Her greatest pleasui" was
in telling why she had painted
her only daughter, Mrs. J. F.
Nuding, of Montgomery, Ala-
bama and her grandchildren in
such unusual settings at the
ranch.
4. There were several artists
present at this meeting other
than Mrs. Patterson. They were
Mesdames J. M. Hickman Jr..
Horace Brock, Kirk Brunson,
Howard Quktt, William Gal-
breath. Hex Dillard, Troy Lem-
ley. Fred Dalby, E. G. Cook Jr.
and Jack Douglass.
5. The subjects given the
guests to draw were rare and
hold special memories for the
Patterson familv. They were
two natural rock wells in the
den, they both hold water and it
is drawn with buckets.
A table, set apart, held a min-
iature replica of the Aspermont
Public Library, designed by Mrs.
Jack Douglass, and one single
book. Mrs. Duncan, chairman of
the Library Board for 1965-66
called attention to the fact of
the single interest members will
be giving to our Library this
summer. The Phoenix Club will
sponsor a Reading Program
which will enable children and
youth to receive a certificate of
award for reading twelve books.
Mrs. M. A. Baldwin and Mrs.
Galbreath gave money this
month toward the purchase of
books for the Library.
Mrs. Roger Foil. Club Presi-
dent, presented Mrs. Lemley
with two large pails filled with
lovely gifts. The following
