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.

If you think we’re excited about

They’ll tell you Chevy’s torsion
