She’s the same one who, when once tempted to bless me with some fishing and shooting paraphernalia as a gift, complained that she couldn’t find anything in a mail order catalog.She was looking in the toy section.)But, such burdens notwithstanding, there is a great deal to be learned by reading. I, therefore, will list a few of my own favorite authoritative works, not in any particular order.Field Stream magazine is my choice for all-around outdoors sports reading.Both its text and photographs are first rate. And I would say that even if that magazine’s astute editor did not see fit to apnually publish two or three articlesthat pass through this typewriter. „ , . , , ,, ,,There are two new marines in circu- But club manager BlU Shryer had betterWrite the above-mentioned Bass AnglersSportsman Society. The book is $7.95,and a great gift idea.• •SEVERAL YEARS AGO, when Brae Loch Country Club, a semi-private golf course on state route 45 west of Waukegan, extensively remodeled its fairways, I suggested that the ponds be stocked with some bluegills. As an accommodation to the nitwit writer, the club management did as we asked, believing that it was a waste of time. And it was.Whether it was the lack of water volume, or the insistent rain of golf balls on their tiny heads, the bluegills didn’t grow up very big. I proved that last week when we used a small black fly rod popper to drag 40 or 50 of them to the bank. The first instinct was to toss them back.lation, published by bass fishermen’s associations. Bassmaster Magazine is a quarterly for members of the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS), P.O. Box 3044, Montgomery, Alabama. Membership requires an annual fee of $10 and includes the magazine. Funds are used for association activities and tournaments, and in support of anti-pollution and conservation projects.LUNKER HOLE magazine is published by the Bass Casters Angling Society (BCAS), P.O. Box 29, Carbondale, 111.This one concentrates its editorial coverage on the midwest and features stories about the Crab Orchard impoundments downstate, Kentucky and Barkley lakes, Wisconsin and Indiana lakes and other good bass fishing waters. Membership and bi-monthly magazine are $10 per year.Fishing Hunting Guide covers both of the titled subjects capably and monthly from P.O. Box 48, Dolton, 111. It’s $3.00 per year.In the book department, I like Tom McNally’s “Fisherman’s Bible,” published by Follet and in bookstores at $4.95. McNally has assembled a more than capable variety of authors who cover everything from basic knot typing to flyfishing, in depth and detail.For the devout bass fisherman, I recommend highly the newly released reprint of James Alexander Henshall’s “Booksense.With a couple of flicks of a sharp, thin-bladed knife, he sliced fillets from the rib cage of the fish and skinned them. Then he made a dish that ice-fishermen should remember, since 90% of their wintry catch is of the smallish panfish variety. It's called Deviled Bluegill.Here’s the recipe:4 cups bluegill meat (drop fillets in boiling water, bring to boil again — remove and drain)1 cup milk 4 thick slices white bread, crusts removed V\ Pound butter 3 tablespoons chopped parsley lVz tablespoons grated onion % teaspoon salt(Or to taste) dash of pepper 1 dash Tabasco sauce 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon dry mustard1 green pepper and 1pimiento finely cutCook everything but the fish for 10minutes.
