But Byron Dalrymple, sports man-turned writer, tells me that while all this was going on. so many side lights turned up that the project ran off on several interesting tangents. There's the barometer matter, for instance. Cooper has facts and figures taken from thousands of corre lated day-to-day records. The anglers who fished when the baro meter was down caught just as many trout as the fellow who fished when the barometer was up. Likewise, those on the stream when the barometer was falling were just as successful as those who fished when t was rising. Only on one point could the baro meter fishermen score. When the barometer was steady, either low or high, fishermen made better catches than when it was moving in either direction. But only a little better. But here's the shocker: Cooper's statistics prove without question that it is know-how. the expert ness. that produces most fish in the creel. He says: "We tried stocking certain sec tions periodically during the sea son so heavily that we actually doubled, temporarily, the trout population. We found later that the same fishermen who had previously gotten skunked but <ime back for more, still got kunked. The experts, however, 'aught many more fish." Thus, fishing ability is what nays off: and legal-sized trout planting does not, according to fhis studv. automatically make better fishing for everybody. It merely makes better fishing for the fellow who. because of his ability, has it pretty good already ! Here's another bit of infnrma I tion turned up by Cooper: It [turned out during the first sea son that the number of fishermen | who had fished with worms and the number who had fished with flies were very near identical. Not only did each group take the ame number, but the take per fishing hour was almost the same. So was the number in each groun ‘*iat went fishless. There B'es th* old worm-vs.-fly battle, snowed nder by a sheaf of statisitcs. I --- ' - Haile Selassie claimed descent from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
