CASTING FOR TOY BALLOONS 

 By Felix J. Koch 



Pure gum gas balloons, ordinarily called toy balloons, have 

 as a rule -been a sort of kindergarten proposition. To be sure, 

 those who study upper air currents for weather reports use them 

 from time to time in carrying instruments to high altitudes for 

 obtaining meteorological data. Then, too, Europeans went very 

 largely into advertising balloons, making many thousands of 

 types that without doubt served an excellent purpose. Occasion- 

 ally, also, they were used for decorations at banquets in the pre- 

 Volstead days. Today, however, the balloon the world over is 

 bought chiefly by indulgent parents or nurses to keep the little 

 folks quiet. That the balloon should do something for the 

 elders in the way of sport was not imagined until a sportive 

 crowd in Cincinnati evolved the idea of lishing for them. The 

 procedure is as follows : 



The balloons, anchored out in mid-stream or far enough away 

 from the shore to inake a cast difficult, are placed at spaced 

 intervals. The fisher, with casting rod and whatever type of 

 hook he selects, stands on the shore and casts. The game, of 

 course, is to get the balloon ashore without bursting it. The 

 country clubs that have ponds, and fishing and game associa- 

 tions throughout the Middle West, have taken to the sport 



1j.\it Casters Ready fur the Contest 



most enthusiastically. Moreover, the practice thus afforded 

 teaches casting, both bait and tly, better than almost any other 

 way. 



Of course there are many ways of varying the contests. The 

 balloons may be anchored so that they will remain in designated 

 places, or they may be weighted so that they just rest on the 

 surface of the water and arc blown in various directions by 

 the breezes or carried by the current. With one hundred bal- 

 loons on the shore of a lake, with the contestants drawing lots 

 for position, and with valuable prizes, a game that is bound 

 to be a popular holiday diversion has at last been evolved for 

 the rubber toy balloon.
