and a big smallmouth almost
the rod out of my hand. It was
dark, I could only hear the jitter-
making its gurgling sound when

bass bent my rod double. I was

bass jumped and threw the plug, it
hit the side of the canoe with a loud
bang. The excitement only lasted a
second or two but what a thrill!
I also like to do some late season
trout fishing. I usually take my fly rod
but sometimes like to use just plain
old fishing worms. My dad and 1
went trout fishing last August on
Culverson Creek and had a great
time trying to sneak up on the
spooky brown trout. It is surprising
how many trout remain after all of
the fishing during the spring. We
managed to catch nine trout that
day and saw a lot more. The secret
to catching the fish was to slip below
a likely looking hole and casting up-
stream above it. The fish would of-
ten strike on the first drift through.
Another good way to pick up a fish
was to let the bait drift downstream
under the overhanging branches
where you could not cast, It was
hard to hook the fish this way but
sometimes, that was the only way
you could fish some of the better
water.
Fly fishing is especially produc-
tive this time of year. Culverson
Creek and Milligan Creek are my
two favorite fly fishing streams. After
the sun starts to drop low, the trout
will begin to take up feeding stations
and you can see them rising up and
down the stream. Light leaders are
usually required this time of year.
Two or three pound test will hold
most any fish you catch but you
can't horse the fish in. The flies I do
best with are the smaller sizes such
as a number 18 black gnat or a
number 16 march brown. A small
muddler minnow streamer will
sometimes do well fished in swift
water.

Attendance at the second annual
Lewisburg Baseball Camp was
nearly double that of last year's
event. The four-day camp was held
at Hollowell Park June 18-21 and
was sponsored by the Lewisburg
Parks and Recreation Department.
Over 100 children from Green-
brier, Monroe, Pocahontas, Nicho-
las, Fayette, and Raleigh counties
participated. "The coaches were re-
ally cool," nine-year-old Justin
McClung of Caldwell said. "1 learned
a lot about batting, throwing, field-
tng, and pitching this week."
"This camp was fun, and it
helped me with my co6rdmation,"
eleven-year-old Amanda Irons of
Lewisburg said. '1 plan to come back
next year."
Brandon Bell, a nine-year-old
from Summersville, said, '1 learned
how to stance and 'crow-hop.'"
"1 learned a lot of things about
softball I didn't know before," said
Mark Bennett, 12, of Ronceverte.
"It was a fun athletic experi-
ence and the coaching staff was
really good " ten-year-old Jason
Coleman of Lewisburg said.
According to Director Rick Rig-
gleman, the children rotated be-
tween the seven different coaches
and assistant coaches each half
hour. •'We felt it was important for
them to get different opinions and
be exposed to different approaches
in baseball skills and techniques,['
he said.
The camp's purpose was to
teach baseball fundamentals and to
give participants a chance to make
new friends, Mr Riggleman added.
The group met at Caldwell's Camp
Shaw-Mi-DeI-Eca the last day for a
picnic and ceremony. Area busi-
nesses donated merchandise for
over 50 drawings held at the pro-
gram. Other businesses donated
funds, facilities, and equipment.
"In terms of numbers, the word
'successful' doesn't even come
close to expressing how this camp
went," Mr Riggleman said. '"Over-
whelmmg' ms more ike it. We had to
go hire more coaching staff mem-
bers when we found out how many
kids had registered."
