Of the six classes competing, the Dragon, Finn and Star classes will be under the command of Chicago area skippers. The sailing events are to be held on an inland lake near Sao Paulo and will run thru April 30.

A thumbnail sketch of the six American skippers composing the United States sailing team: DRAGON CLASS: Bob Smith, Columbia Yacht club, Chicago, is a 37-year-old mechanical engineer, won the 1962 North American Dragon championships in New Orleans for the right to represent the U.

"They ranged from four to 11 pounds apiece, with many in the eight, nine, and 10-pound bracket" Resorts and fishing camps in the Bull Shoals area endeavor to- keep daily catch records. Crappies Ron Big Bass are so important at Bull Shoals that no one bothers much with panfish. Crappies run big in the lake, and some serious fishing is done for them but not much attention is paid bluegnis.

There's a large boat dock handy to Crow-Barnes resort You can walk the floating dock at any look down, and count dozens of large bluegills. Bull Shoals has large bass, smallmouths, and Kentucky or spotted bass, Kentucky, bass so resemble large-mouths that the average fisherman cannot distinguish between them. Kentuckys, however, run much smaller than largemouths, with a three -pounder being a good one, and they have more mottled black and green markings than large-moujjis. All the usual fresh water tackle is useful in Bull Shoals area fishing. Excepting during a few weeks in May, bass-bugging in the lake is not generally good, so top fly fishing in the deep reservoir is limited.

The majority of bass are taken on bait casting tackle, with spinning placing second.

Big Bull Shoals reservoir is a bass fisherman's delight, and clear, cold White river below Bull Shoals a is noted trout water.

Also nearby is Norfork lake, the Buffalo river, and Crooked creek. Most fishermen work Bull Shoals and Norfork lakes from boats. But the lakes now are low, perhaps 15 feet below normal, and a fisherman can. easily walk the open shorelines, cast out, and cover much productive water. Thousands -of fisherman annually float the White river, which produces mostly rainbows but also has large brown trout.

However, the White can also be waded when little water is coming thru the dam and the river is low. Not many fishermen know about the White's wading possibilities even tho the majority of fly trout fishermen prefer wading to floating. Guides Are Available Crooked creek is comparatively small and easily waded Crooked and Buffalo flow thru dogwood-coated hills and between towering, limestone bluffs. Guides such as Forrest Wood of Flippin, charge $10 a day per person for Buffalo and Crooked creek floats. Single day White river floats, incidentally, are $25 for one person; $30 for two; and $36 for three.

Something many fishermen do not realize is that Wood and a few other: guides specialize in overnight float-camp trips. A extended floating-camping junket on the Buffalo is easily arranged, comparatively inexpensive, and the fisherman needs no gear' other than his tackle. "An overnight camp trip, says Wood, "consists at the usual float trip equipment in the fishing boats, plus a commissary boat loaded with tents, cots, sleeping bags, cooking etc. The cook handles that and he always goes ahead to pre-arrange camp spots where, he sets up camp and prepares meals. This leaves fishermen with nothing to do but fish and relax." An overnight camp trip for two runs $72; four, $100, and six, $150.

Generally, motel-resort prices hereabouts are reasonable. Bull Shoals is roughly 650 miles from Chicagoland, and most people need about a- day and a half to drive it.

However, fishermen with little time or who do not care to drive can be flown direct to Flippin from any small airfield in the Chicago area, for $105 per person round-trip, by Hansen Air activities based in Morris, HI.

Stocked with Trout In recent years, rainbow trout were stocked in Bull Shoals lake, and already the big reservoir has given up some lunker trout Many fishermen in the area predict that, one day, the lake may be as well known for trout as it is now for bass.

The bass fishing, at times, is spectacular. The week of April 4-11, for example, was the best in Bull Shoals history, according to Everett Crow of Crow-Barnes resort on the lake. Crow said that never before had a similar period produced many large bass. "A total of nearly 750 bass were reported worms, and jig and porknnd THE week of Sept 22-28 has been named National Dog week.
