Another bad feature of the Williwaw's
is that it akes a half tank of gas to
make the trip from Lake Andrew back to
the station when you are drivin agin*
one.
Can’t understand these so-called
sportsmen who state they caught 30 when
they know darn good and well the limit
is 10. One of these days they’ll tell
it to the wrong person, (like the Com -
mand Conservation Officer)#
A good place to take the youngsters
for some fishing is Haven pond where
if you’ll fish off the outlet stream
bridge you’ll be ableto help them catch
a mess of small rainbows that are real
hungry for salmon eggs. These Rainbows
are part of the fry that were stocked
in the lake sometime ago - just seems
they haven’t been able to grow up. But
lots of fun for the kids - handle them
with care and put them back in the wat
er gently. Some large Rainbow -(over
12 inches) were seen but even being as
quiet as possible they take off for the
deep water as soon as they see you. It
helps to be as quiet as possible even
fishing the little ones but still your
youngsters should be able to catch en
ough to give them a thrill at catching
a fish on Adak.
A check with the Special services
Officer reveals that the Lake Andrew’s
Boat House is tentatively scheduled to
open on 3 June, watch the Plan of the
Day for confirmation* New rules and
regulations and safety features will be
promulgated in a changeto the Instruct
ion on the Boat House Operation in the*
near future.
