Smith reported today. High Readings of Barometer Favor Fishing Sportsman-Editor Finds Low Pres sure Meant. Small Catch Tried Off the Florida Coast. LINCOLN, 111. (UP) A new theory which is designed to take the guesswork out of fishing has been de veloped by Brainard C. Snider, vet eran newspaper editor and amateur sportsman. Tests all over the nation, in moun tain streams, lowland lakes and the Atlantic ocean indicate the discovery may be the greatest boon ever offered to America's Izaak Waltons. It's all a matter cf atmospheric pressure, according to Snider. "Barometer readings on 115 days last season established the fact that 34 times out of 100 fish bite best" jUnder high atmospheric pressure and least under low atmospheric pres sure," he declared. Tried Off Florida Coast "Salt water amber-Jack off the Florida coast as well as mountain trout in the Rockies were found to biie best on a high cr rising baro meter and least on a low." Snider's theory was tested by mem bers of the Lincoln Sportsmen's club, who threw barometers into their tackle boxes on vacation trips. They quickly discovered they could elim inate poor fishing hours from their vacation schedule and once they learned by a glance at the barometer the odds were in their favor, their catches depended on luck or indi vidual skill, he said. "There have been hundreds of theories since men started to fish and this one was more or less an accident," Snider said. "Somewhere there was a line quoting the On tario Indians near Winnipeg as say ing, 'Ugh, storm coming fish go down deep.' Worked Out Backward "The storm comes, but the Indians had things twisted. They used the fish actions as a barometer rather than the barometer as a key to the fish actions. Naturally when they o down deep they won't bite." In the absence of stientific ex planation for his findings, Snider evolved his own: When atmospheric pressure is low. fish go deep to equal ize the pressure of air and water. They must even up their own bodily inward pressure with the outward pressure created by the air and water. When the pressure is high, they must rise to relieve the strain on their air bladders. "We found that sensitive moun tain trout responded to the tests 100 per eent," he said. "Invariably they refused to rise under low barometric- conditions, yet a sudden rise would bring catches of 20 to 0 trout within an hour." DEATH OF MARY SAND0Z I ALLIANCE, Neb..
