Sure enough, you guessed it, Heffeman wag taking movies all
of this time, and has a complete record on film of one of the
greatest fishing falls ever seen on Lake Lynn. (
The lake country will never be the same.
But the natives can’t wait until these Texans-come back next
year and bring them some more bass lures from Lufkin.
Already these Texans>are signingrup sports fishermen to make
this big trip next year. .
Fun isn’t the only thing you have on a trip like this, Aylor said.
Everybody else has fun, too.
Fishing and good, honest laughter go together, and the Lake
Lynn area is still echoing the fun these four Baytown men had on
their big adventure.

Four Baytown fishermen, Joe Aylor, Jack Bray. Carl Young
and Jim Heffeman. had a dream trip tbe other day.

would keep nothing under 10 pounds, and they bid more fun in
less time than a lot of fishermen. The quartet fished ona guided
trip to Lynn Lake which is about 000 miles north of Winnepeg.
That’s mighty close to the Arctic Circle. .
Of course, such a dreamland of great fishing could be attained
only by jet airplane, and float plane. There are no roads into that
country, and you have to take all of your gear and equipment in a
portage bag witb you when you go. Ibis Manitoba country will
long remember the fun these Baytown men had on their trip up
there. —r-........—--------- .
The cold waters of this great Ming lake are still echoing with
the great laughter and fun there fellows had. Just to show you
what fun they had, one of tbe guys takes Mood pressure pills by
the handful. -<
He forgot his pills, as he packed in a hurry.,But he was so re-
laxed and had so much fun, he did not need there pills at all for
those two weeks.
This Baytown bunch hit the deck every morning about 5:30
a.m. and did not stop until about 10 p.m.
. Gee Indians are, the guides- There guides know a great deal
about the North woods country, but there Texans taught them a
few new tricks.
For instance, these Northern Jake trout. Northern pike and
walleye hit Texas bass lures quicker than they do the traditional
lures they have been taking for generations. •
Heffeman took 1100 worth of Brush Busters and H and H spin-
ners made by the B & B Lure Company of Lufkin. They were a
success - Girardeau, who will be a

guides on the lake took. The Texans brought none home.
Heffeman even took a Russel lure on the trip and caught fish
with it. ,
Young caught the biggest lake trout on the trip and he was
mighty proud of it.
Bray probably had the toughest luck of anybody. He had bor-
rowed one of the prize rods his brother, Buddy, had in his collec-
tion:
One day late into the big Northern adventure one of the Cree
Indian guides broke the tip off that rod.
Before the day was over, Bray had the misfortune of breaking
the rod four more times. All he had left was a handle and the
reel. But he was still fishing and catching.
Then there was the day Aylor had his fun,
He was fishing for Northern pike with a gold spoon with a yel-
low bucktail. A six pounder gulped it down. He reeled the fish in,
and prepared to carefully release it.
Anything under 10 pounds is called a snake. They turn them
loose so they can grow up.
On his way to the water’s edge, Aylor was carefully picking his
spots because that water is cold. Wien he released the fish, he
turned to start back up the bank and missed his footing. He fell
flat. The ever present cigar in his mouth flew into the air, his
boots filled with cold water, and he had no change of clothes with
him.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Joe
Niekro, the best pitcher the
San Diego Padres had back in
their first year as an expansion
team in 1969; has come back to
haunt them.
Niekro, a knuckleball
specialist like his older brother
Phil of the Atlanta Braves,
stopped the Padres on just five
hits Sunday in pitching the
Houston Astros to a 6-3 victory
over San Diego.
"The thing I remember most
about 1969 was my con-
sistency,” said - Niekro, who
raised his 1977 record to 8-4
Sunday with his fourth com-
plete game of the season. “I
think it may have been the best
year I’ve had in that regard un-
til this one."
The pitching of Niekro and
the hitting and scoring of Jose
Cruz combined to snap the
Padres' winning streak at five
games.
“I had a real good knuckler
all day," said Niekro. “But I
had problems getting it over a good pitch, but he just went tough to hit," said San Diego

The Houston righthander
also had problems keeping it in
the ballpark in the late innings
with George Hendrick at the
plate. Hendrick accounted for
all three San Diego runs with
his 16th and 17th homers of the
year.
“Both homers were on
knucklers,” said Niekro. “The
first one was a high knuckler
that he hit into the second
deck. The other was down low,
