Show GUNNISON WOMAN EXPERT " IN LANDING BIG FISH The big game associations throughout through-out the country boast of crack riflemen, rifle-men, expert fisheimen and big game hunters, but Gunnison can proudly lay claim to one of the best little woman fishermen in the western hemisphere when it comes to landing the gamest fish that swims the rivers riv-ers the black bass. Miss Jauvonta Thorpe of the Gnnison Drug company, com-pany, and during the dull hours of business, seeks the shores of Redmond Red-mond lake and invariably returns with a basket full of the succulent, bass. During the past ten days Miss Thorpe, with a long cane pole to which is attached a small pearl spinner, spin-ner, has visited Redmond lake and her splendid catches have been the envy of several of the professional fishermen. Monday Miss Thorpe visited her favorite fishing place and came back with seven beauties, one of which tipped the scales at better 'han th"ee pounds. The big bass gave a splendid battle and succeeded in demolishing the trusty pole before he was safely landed in the creel. The News force enjoyed a fine mess of the bass, and thanks to the expert fisher lady. |
