extremely bright, Chief Fisheries
Biologist Clarence Pautzke has de-
clared in a recent report to the
State Game Commission.
"The lakes are nv areas that
are going to care for the demands
of increased numbers of fishermen
in. the future, and it has been the
lakes that have carried the fish-
ing intensity which increased so
drastically .from 1933, when the
total license sales were 129,000,. to
the present year, when sales will
exceed 430,000," Pautzke asserted.
Discussing the question, "Does
lake poisoning pay?", Pautzke
continued: "Take the example of
Kings lake, poisoned in 1940 at a
cost of $23.00. We have allowed
no fishing in this lake since that
time. However, to date the game
department has taken native cut-
throut eggs, of which there is no
other source, in the amount of
over 6,000,000. k fair price would
be hard to determine, as we are
unable to buy these eggs, but set-
tinga price at $2.00 per thousand
would show that we had taken
$12,000 worth of eggs from this
lake in an eight year period--a
pretty fair return."
In 1946 the game department
poisoned a total of 726 lake acres,
averaging 25 feet or better in
depth. In 1947 the department has
poisoned a total of 1,221 acres
averaging more than 30 feet in
depth. The amount of rough fish
destroyed was better than 200
pounds per acre. "Even if we
could produce only 100 pounds of
game fish per surface acre," Paut-
zke contends, "this would supply
us with 72600 pounds Of additional
game fish produced from our 1946
poisoning program and 122,100
pounds additional from the lakes
poisoned in 1947."
Game Director Don W. Clarke
has referred to clearing of scrap
fish as similar to "waving a
magic wand and having a virgin
lake again." This advantage of
having virgin waters for planting
trout is shown by Pautzke, who
pointes out the results obtained at
the beginning of the fishing sea-
son from Mystic and Half Moon
Lakes in Pend Oreille county. The

Public Fishing Areas
Being Acquired Swiftly
The work of the Washington
State Game Department in setting
up public fishing areas is going
ahead vapidly, with the depart-
ment having received deeds to 30
such areas from various private
owners since April 1, 1947. Six
of the areas already arc in the,
process of development.
The department has been seek-
ing access rights to lakes which
otherwise might pass completely
into private control, thus depriv-
ing the average angler from a
chance to fish in them.

ByTed
Some pointers on the timber-
doodle, an individualistic little
cuss and one of the sittingest birds
there is, are given by Pete Barrett,
outdoor writer and sportsman.
Probably because of his excel-
lent protective coloring, the old
bogsucker--as the woodcock iS
sometimes called -- will usually
freeze at the approach Of the day's
first hunters and, if not fired up-
on, will often sit tight again and
again. Remember this the next
time you're in an alder patch in
woodcock country. Take it easy
and look sharp,
Woodcocks usually fly sho
distances, pitching down within
200 yards, and .90 per cent of
flushed timberdoodles stay where
they land, So mark him down
carefully, never take your eyes
from the hot spot. Incidentally,
the bird often pitches down as
though badly hit, when he's mere-
ly landing. Don t let him fool you
into beifig off guard.
The woodcock is largely noc-
turnal in his habits, He migrates
at night, and he usually feeds in
the twilight and dark hours.
Sometimes he will'seek food on
dull days, particularly if foraging
was poor the night before. The
woodcock's, diet is about three-
quarters worms. The balance is
fnade up of insects and, occasion-
ally, seeds. Thus the logical place
to look for the shy dodger is in
damp. places abounding with
worms, or in brushy Or second-
growth cover near by.
The black soil where' alders
grow is particularly suitable.
Birch and beech groves are often
good. Swamp edges, mucky
ground surrounding springs, shel-
tered stream banks, tiny fertile
ravinesthere are all natural hab-
itat. .Tumbledown .orchards are
sometimes excellent. Pass up
sour ground thougl, which, you'll
usually find under evergreens,
And skip places that are extreme-
ly mossy, or are mostly sand; rea-
Sports and Skeet club, came up
with the surprising information
that an estimated 15,000 pounds of
game and fish have been saved
for the coming year from the bag-
ging of predators during the con-
test.
Frank figures znaz ne bob-cats
and coyotes killed in the hunt
ended Saturday would have eaten
4,015 pounds Of garhe m a year,
while the seals bagged would lmve
gotten away with 5,175 pounds of
salmon.
The kingfishers who bit the dust
would normally eat about 5,110
pounds of young fish, he added.
POINTING OUT the good the
predator hunt has done this year,
Frank mentioned the sudde in-
flux of kingfishers and fishducks
to Spencer Lake following the
planting of 100,000 game trout and
fingerlings there recently.
Although he is happy to know
that so many predator animals
and birds were killed in the con-
test this year, Captain Frank is
sorry there weren't twice as many
bagged by twice as many hunt -:
ers.
He said that the total points in
the contest amounted to 6,300 for
all the animals killed. To cele-
brate the winning of the contest,
Frank's team will dine "on the
house" Saturday night at the Odd
Fellows hall.
TO PROVIDE a good dinner and
program for interested sportsmen
of Shelton and Mason county, 100
tickets will be sold for the dinner
which begins at 6:30 p.m. °
Clarence Pautzke, biologist for
the State Fish and Game depaz%-
ment, will give a talk on his ex-
periences at the Bikini atom bomb
tests.
Door prizcs and prizes to be
awazied the highest scoring hunt-
ers in the contest Will also be pre-
sented during the evening.
Tlm dinner will be prepared by
members of the Order of Eastern
Star. A few tickets were still
available through Ken Frank at
the Colonial House, or Sleysters
Bicycle shop today.
Kestzg
son: Few worms are to be found.
Bottomlands with rich loam
are best suited for a woodcock's
borings, and such sites are usual-
ly the best bets. They'll harbor
native birds from spring to fall,
and migrants on their way south
in the hunting season, In a dry
year such land will often have a
concentration of timberdoodles.
But too much rain will complicate
matters, .for then the birds seek
drier covers, like adjacent hill-
sides.
Many hunters have ncorrect
no&ions about timberd.oodle migra-
tions, picturing the birds heading
south in large flights. Well, the
fact is, quite often they travel
singly or in very small groups,
though it is equally common for
them to fly in straggly forma-
tions, which has the effect of scat-
tering their numbers. Often ml-
grants will alight on a hillside
lightly thicketed with poplars or
white bireh. Some times they will
pck a stand of second-growth
hardwood. If ever you ,locate one
of these hillsides, brother, mark it
in your memory well, for it is
likely that more migrants will be
there later the same season, and
for years thereafter.
The timberdoodle likes to loaf
in daylight hours• This helps the
bird a lot when you're hunting
him with a dog, because there is
little body-scent trail. That's why
a dog that will work carefully and
cover the territory methodically
is a prize indeed, .
When hunting in dense cover,
you'll find that your bird will
usualy rise toward the nearest
opening. Once he reaches this and
clears the branch tips there is a
momentalmost of hcsitation
when he changes over from climb.
ing to horizontol "flight. This
is the time to touch off your load
of 8s or. 9s. The faster you get
off the first shot, the better your
t chances for squeezing in another
before the game is hopelessly out
of range,

Waterfowl Study
Being Made Here
, Acting on the suggestion of
gam • commission member@ and
interested sports groups, bioIogtsts
of the Washington State Game
Department are embarking on an
expanded waterfowl study de-
signed to show what can be done
to improve duck and goose hunt-
ing in the state and will include
a survey of the principal water-
fowl areas. .
Biologists, aided by game pro-
tectors, are gathering information
concerning duck flights, nesting
eonditions and other factors. In
addition, a program ,of banding
waterfowl has been started in the
Skagit Flat area to determine
[heir migratory habits.
Commissioner Marcus Nalley of
Tacoma s one of those most in-
terested in the waterfowl pro-
gram. Although hunting :of .mi-
gratory :birds is .subject to fed-
eral regulation, Nalley and other
commissioners ,have ,expressed,+ a
desire to have. the,state .game -
partment do all it cau. to .assist
in the program of improving wa-
terfowl hunting in Washington.
