*** How to Catch Trophy Halibut from 80 to 400 Pounds
by Christopher Batin
The right water depth at the right season, coupled
with an un-fished location insures results. Add
the right lure with, or without bait and action seems certain (Or as
certain as fishing gets.)

*** Sneaking Up On Bluegills, by Tom Huggler
Big bluegills school up during spring spawning.
If you know the right water temperature and underwater habitat,
you find the clusters of "monster" bluegills ready to hit bait, lures or
flies.

*** Swivel Drivel (or Why Cheap Swivels Don't)
by Louis Bignami
Ball-bearing swivels work best for most purposes, but
be a minimalist. Use small swivels sparingly. And
check your choices through our easy tests to see what works best.

*** Jerkbait, by Jim Austin
A wry look at muskie fishing that suggests that
sometimes it's hard to tell which end of the line has
the biggest jerk.

*** Rolling your Own Rods Part 1: Theory
by Louis Bignami
"Custom" rods (never call them home-made!) can solve
problems like oversized grips for large hands, longer rods for maximum
casting distance, or mini rods for ice fishing. Catch a fish on a rod
you made and you enjoy a special feeling too!

*** Rolling your Own Rods Part 2: Construction
by Louis Bignami
A no nonsense and practical, as opposed to decorative,
rod wrapping approach with particular attention to ultra light
and ultra long options.

*** Designing Trout Flies, Chapter 1, by Gary Borger
Filled with revelations about the way trout feed and
why, this initial chapter of Gary's book will whet your
appetite for more.

*** Hunting is Hard? Get Reel, by Jim Austin
Anglers and hunters differ. Proper anglers discuss angling literature,
while hunters may hold burp the alphabet contests.

*** What to Look For in an Aluminum Boat
by Gary Bennett
The president of Klamath Boats makes a good case for the
advantages of strong, durable welded aluminum boats
which the buyer can customize to meet their own special
needs.

*** Trailer Light Converter Protects Tow Vehicle
Computer and Trailer Lights
Wesbar shows how hook your boat's trailer's "two light" system to the
new vehicle "three light" systems AND extend bulb life as well.

Fly Fishing cartoons. We don't know how often we'll be

great!

haven't may your flies rust, your plastic worms rot and
your dog throw up the jar of Power bait he just ate
into your lap!
