Fudgey the Duck Captures Bass on Southern Lakes
Hubert and Rose Greene of Lake Lure and Spindale tell of their mallard Fudgey who points bass rather than birds. The duck held a four minute frozen pose above minnows and later helped land nine and ten pound largemouths on Nantahala Lake. The Greens adopted him after finding the abandoned duckling in July and now keep him close at hand on fishing trips and at home.

The old sea captain’s philosophy, voiced on Portsmouth shore, laments laws and enforcement, urging wildlife stewardship and sensible coastal oversight as 1978 approaches.
