THE VRADY STANDARD AND HEART O' TEXAS NEWS. BRADY. TEXAS. FRIDAY. JULY 22. 1M0
By VERN SANFORD
It it said that the difference
between an expert fisherman and
an also-ran lies in one’s ability to
“read” a river, stream or lake.
This because there definitely are
certain choice spots—and he who
finds them lands the lunkert.
I.earn where the fish lie. That’s
the secret, say the pros. “And
the time to do the learning is
when fishing is at iu worst.”
For instance, when a stream
or river is very low and clear,
bottom obstructions, rocks, ledges,
deep runs and pool areas become
evident. Make a mental note of
these physical factors.
In many instances, but using
poloroid glasses, you actually can
spot the fish, and locate weed
beds and drop-off areas where
fish gather.
There are two other "handies.”
A thermometer and a waterscope.
A thermometer helps locate spring
holes. The waterscope. a twbe
with a glass in one end, also is
used to determine weed-bed areas
and drop-offs.
A word to the wise . . . time
taken in charting the favorite
stream or river really pays off in
better fishing later on.
Tis said that he who fishes
“upstream” catches more and
larger fish
By upstream we mean “across
and up.”
Dry fly fishermen use this meth-
od successfully. Why wouldn’t it
work with other fishermen? Some
say it does. They suggest a high
rod and a constant retrieve in
order to maintain a tight line.
Also they point out that spinners,
wobblers, small plugs and nymphs
pay off in larger fish than do
floating lures.
Learn your water and fish up-
stream for more and bigger fish,
they re-emphasize.
No matter how shallow the
water, there is ample concealment
in weed beds or lily pads, says
one tipster. He adds: Often fish
lurk quite far hack and do not
see lures cast at the edge of weed
beds or pads. In such instances a
silent cast is not effective. Don’t
lie afraid to let your lure drop
with a loud splash.
There always is danger of n
hang-hp. That’s when a heavier

leader line comes in handy. There
it no reason for not attaching a
leader to a spinning Una—just ao
long as it ia short enough not to
enter the spool. It sure does add
a safety factor . . . and makes it a
little easier to change lures.
It’s well to know the depth of
the water in which you are fish-
ing. Next time you fish in deep
water let your lure down along-
side the boat and count slowly
until it reaches the bottom. Then
when you cast out start your
count when the lure hits the wat-
er. Allow the Jure to sina frwiyr.
Rut start your retrieve with a short,
hard hook-setting motion the mo-
ment your count indicates bottom
depth. Many times the lure is
picked up by a curious fish on its
downward float—and he may still
have it in his mouth.

Tips on Monofilament Line
As spin-fishing grows Incress
ingly popular the use of mono
'ilament line becomes more gen
oral. It is true that monofilament
offers many advantages. Hut there
are disadvantages, too. Perhaps
we should say "handicaps."
A knot points up its bigyest
weakness. In fact if you want to
break monofilament line at a spec-
ific place, just tie a knot there
and jerk. The line will break at
that exact spot.
This brings up these two facts
1. When you find a knot in
your monofilament line, either un-
tie it (which is almost impos-
sible) or break the line, then and
there. Otherwise some lunker will
do the job for you . . . and you will
lose a nice catch.
2. When you tie monofilament
to a swivel (or direct to a lurcl
follow this tie-down tip and you
will avoid use of a line-breaking
knot.
• • •
First, run the end of the line
through the eye of the swivel.
Next, pull through atmut eight
inches of line. Then, instead of
tying a knot as you would with
braided line, wrap the short length
of line around the line proper—
seven or eight times. Now comes
the important part—run the end
of the line through the loop that
formed immediately above the eye
of the swivel. All that’s left to do
is to pull slowly but frmly on the
line itself and the wrapped-around
portion will slide down the line to
form a vise-like grip.
Just to be sure you pull the line
tight and hard, and check to see
that the swivel is firmly attached
If you have not pulled hard, thee
the end of the line may slip back
through the loop. In that event
you will have to repeat the entire
•iwration. Until you learn the
trick you may have to hold the
tag end of the line to keep it
from slipping through. However,
after s few trials yo i’ll find this
tying method can he |*rformed
quickly. Also you’ll discover that
this ia the safest and surest way
to tie on a swivel or 1 \ctually
t’s known as the cllnche.- knot.
Finally, if you want to be
doubly sure that the end of the
line doesn't slip through—just
strike a match and burn the tip of
the line lightly. The monofilament
will burn until a small but hard
ball forms. This ball, on the end
of the line, will keep the end from
slipping through the loop. So, by
burning the excess line you not
only make a neuter job, hut a
stronger one too.
A word of warning. Don’t let any
of the burning monofilament drip
on your hands or clothes. It's hot
as a poker!

A Fisherman's I’rayrr
What more fitting way to end
this column than to repeat “A
Fisherman’s Prayer" which ap-
peared originally in North Caro-
lina's "Wildlife” magazine.
Cod grant that I may live
to fiah until my dying day.
And when it comes to my
last cast, I then most hum-
bly pray.
When ia the Urdu safe

asleep.
