Stylers once but the champs werent about to let it happen twice in a row The Stylers met the Sabres Thursday in a re match of the May 6 opening league which the Sabres won 12 11 For a while Thursday it looked like the same thing was going to happen as the juniors led 4 3 after the first period and 8 7 after the second But the Stylers proved why they are defending Canadian Senior B champions and won 15 9 The Old Stylers were led by the brilliant play of Al Watt who netted four goals and counted six assists Watt also Old Styltrs Canada Hotel Junior Sabres counted the winning goal Greg Bennet also had an excellent game for the Stylers with he and Watt combining to dominate the big third period for the Old Stylers Bennett counted one goal The Old Stylers outscored the Sabres 8 1 in the final period Referee Harvey Clark went on a penalty binge with six minutes left in the third period He originally called Bennett on a questionable two minute minor penalty Al Murray argued the point and Clark handed him a 10 minute misconduct Murray made another remark and Clark threw him out With this the Old Styler bench was up in arms So Clark handed them a two minute bench minor All of a sudden the Sabres seemed to have the momen momentum ¬ tum ThCStylers were leading 11 9 at the time but had to play two men short Then to add salt to the wound they were called for playing too many men If the game had a turning point this was it The Sabres failed to show an effective offense and Watt made a superb play to get free from two men in the Sabres zone Trouble getting runs Low scoring

season and for two weeks I have been casting in my sleep Finally got a chance to go out this weekend fishing and picked up and released one small one about 2 pounds Fly fishermen were picking up a few down south but the troll- ers werent have much luck Some of the lakes around Quesnel area are open and had a report that some of the Buckhorn area lower lakes were also open Six Mile Tabor Lake ice is rotten and should be off by this weekend All streams in the Northern Interior region are closed this year from April 1st - June 30 except Nadina Stellako Nithi Endako and Nauthy which open June 1st This closure was done to allow some fish to get into their spawning beds which of course should result in more fish It is a controversial but much needed move as all dark soft spawners should be released anyway New regulations are currently being printed For more infor information ¬ mation phone us at 562 2222 and well let you know There has been much need in town for a fly casting school for beginners A great deal of mystery has been attached to fly fishing but the basics are quite simple We at Bobsports are putting on a fly fishing course beginning May 20 Tuesday at 700 pm at Fort George Park and runn running ¬ ing 4 programs of 2 hours each Tuesday and Thursday until the 29th of May The four lesson course will go into selection of equipment cast casting ¬ ing wading fly patterns
