"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.

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, L.M.

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.
