V* C Section Two Four Pages "The Voice of the Beef Empire"-North-Central Nebraska's BIGGEST Newspaper ___Volume 80—Number 8 O'Neill, Holt County, Nebraska, Thursday, June 16, 1960 Seven Cents Biw Gilman and Ida home grown Northern pike I Fish No Pikers Down at Amelia Says Bus Gilman What nerd is there for a man to go to Canada on a fishing trip when he can oatch an 11 pounder in hi® own back yard? Amelia rancher Bus (Harold) Oilman can answer that question He did it. Futhermore he's got the evidence to prove it in his deep freeze, a recently caught Northern pike. Of course his back yard is a □it more extensive than that of city dwellers He owns a neat ranch spread that is a part of the place where he was born and raised and the exaict place he ccught this home grown giant was in a private pond on a west quart er about a whoop and a holler from his house. Private ponds are quick and easy in the flowing well area of the southern Holt County. Within a five mile radius of the little town of /“melin you can count at least 20. Nearly every ranch boasts one some have more. (Maybe in time they'll specialize as they have ir live stock and have a water pas ture for each type of fish • blue gills, crappies, bull heads etc!) One thing sure, no one will make an enclosure especially for carp llhat’s a dirty word to pool own ers! Once the carp enter they crowd out their more desirable relatives, therefore every precau tion is taken to see that none get in. These ponds are probably so popular because aside from their home entertainment vajue, their construction is simple. First a likely spot is selected in a place where cattle can be watered to a good advantage, then it is ‘dozed out, dammed up and a hun dred foot (Give or take a Little) well is put down. Within a few days the area is flooded. Now all that’s left to do is plant your favorite finny crop, go on with the fence riding and hay cabling until th next summer rolls around, then start in reaping the results. Rancher Gilman raises Hereford cattle on his green rolling acres but when it comes to the watery acres he changes color. Blue gills are a good stand by breed he says with a sizable herd of perch and bass to take up the slack in an off season. The pike were added more or less as an experiment. An ex periment that paid off, we’d say. Mrs. Gilman who is not quite such an enthusiastic angler as her husband, wishes he’d get the big fish off display to make more room in the freezer for beef.
