COLUMBUS CASTING CLUB. 
Rain somewhat interfered with the open-air 
bait and fly casting tournament of the year of 
the Columbus Casting club at Angler’s pool in 
Franklin park Oct. 14, but the event was wit¬ 
nessed by quite a large growd of enthusiasts, 
including six from Newark, two from Delaware 
and a former champion of the Buckeye state, 
Dr. A. E. Fogle, of Atlanta, Ga. 
The bad weather and darkness hampered the 
contestants in the one-fourth ounce accuracy 
event, the lines being wet. F. M. Brooks made 
a club record in this event with a score of 98 8-10 
per cent. Mr. Brooks received the gold medal 
for this event. Mr. A. E. Shatford captured the 
silver medal for coming second. 
The one-half ounce accuracy club record was 
broken by Nelson L. Bulkley with a 99 per cent, 
score. Mr. Bulkley received the gold medal as 
winner in this event and Mr. F. M. Brooks the 
silver medal as second. 
The special one-half ounce contest for con¬ 
testants who had never made a 98 per cent, score 
in a tournament was won by William Behner, 
who received a gold medal- 
The accuracy fly contest, owing to the pro¬ 
longed rain, was started almost too late for 
daylight work. This condition undoubtedly pro¬ 
duced lower scores, and so kept many records 
from being broken. J.F. Hays finished first with 
98 5-9 per cent., which won a gold fly trophy. 
William Behnen won a silver fly trophy as sec¬ 
ond, and V. D. Beese a bronze fly trophy as third. 
A special gold trophy was offered to the con¬ 
testant with the best score in all events. This 
was won by Nelson L. Bulkley with a score of 
seven: First in one-half ounce accuracy bait; 
third in one-fourth ounce accuracy bait and third 
in accuracy fly. 
A special contest for contestants who had 
never made a score of 98 per cent or better in 
the accuracy fly event was won by Dr. E. E. 
Gaver with 98 per cent. Dr. Gaver received a 
gold fly trophy for this event. 
The club intends holding some indoor tourna¬ 
ments this winter, merely to keep the interest 
up and incidentally keep on edge for the open¬ 
ing of the summer schedule in 1915. 
In all probability the club will take in some 
new members this fall, and so be in fine shape 
for next year. 
The Columbus Casting Club is an organization 
made up of members of The Columbus Anglers 
who are interested in tournament work. This 
takes this feature away from The Columbus 
Anglers Club, giving the Columbus Anglers Club 
just the work to do concerning the protection 
and propagation of fish and game.

POST HOOKED FIVE “MUSKIES.” 
Traveling Salesman Post hooked five big 
‘‘muskies” while on a trip to Coshocton, recently,. 
but all of the “tigers” got away from him. Ex¬ 
perts say he is hot onto the best method of get¬ 
ting the fish, as they act nearly like a bass when 
taking the hook. They make a run and then 
generally stop to turn the bait and swallow it 
and it is believed that Mr. Post pulled up too 
soon or before the fish swallowed the bait. Fish¬ 
ermen are now trolling for the “muskies” all 
along the stretches of the Muskingum and Tus¬ 
carawas rivers and are having fine sport. 
H. T. Powell, Dr. E. E. Gaver and G. G. Tink¬ 
ham announce they are going to settle the pike- 
muskalonge question for all time by a trip to 
the Wakatomika and will bring home specimens 
to be analyzed by experts. 
Professor W. A. Knight, who makes his own 
flies and is a genius in many lines of mechanics, 
landed a dandy two-pound, six ounce bass while 
fishing in the Olentangy. 
Walter Brown and Ed Shepard duplicated 
their feat by getting 10 nice bass in the Scioto 
on flies.
