What’s the angle?

Sport fishing season opener, “Fishmas,” set to April 24

Anglers in the Eastern Sierra will celebrate “Fishmas,” the sport fishing opener on Saturday, April 24, at dawn. Seen here is a fisherman looking for lunkers at Virginia Lakes, CA.

By Christina Reed The Hired Pen Eastern Sierra, CA—Last year, anglers of every sort in the Eastern Sierra got jipped! As a result of Covid-19, our “traditional”-everything-under-the-sun, had to be modified to keep everyone's health and safety in mind. And, while the early fishing derbies in the region, such as the Lone Pine, CA Early Trout Derby, and the Blake Jones Trout Derby in Bishop, CA (both held in the first weeks of March) were recently postponed until next year, the sport fishing opener in most of the state of California took place this week, March 1.

Fishmas Traditions The state's Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) recently announced that the return of “Fishmas,” the traditional fishing opener the last Saturday in April, will take place this year, as per sort-of-usual, on April 24. To preserve the magic of opening day in the Eastern Sierra, “Fishmas,” and its much-anticipated opening of the lakes, streams, and rivers of the region, DFW holds a separate sport fishing opener for the rest of the state. Last year's situation found us competing with Memorial Day weekend campers / anglers / visitors, as DFW pushed the trout opener to May 23, traditionally Mule Days Week. This year, aside from a low snow pack, the fish are becoming more active,

and many anglers have been fishing year-round at Pleasant Valley Reservoir, and on the lower Owens River. Fishing guides in the region report some very nice trout being pulled out of the Owens River, and while special catch and release regulations stand in some areas of the Owens River and East Walker River, the wild brown trout with its winter colorations, seem to be coming to life too. A resident sport fishing license is $52.66 for all anglers over the age of 16. There are reduced-fee sport fishing licenses available for disabled veterans, recovering service members, and low income seniors (65 years of age and older). Free sport fishing licenses are available to any Native American who is a resident of the state, and who is financially unable to pay the fee required for a resident sport fishing license. Free sport fishing licenses are also available for people who are blind, developmentally disabled, or mobility impaired. Short term fishing licenses are: one-day $17.02; two-day $26.49, and 10-day non-resident sport fishing license $52.66 (this allows a visitor from out-of-state to fish for 10 consecutive days). Free fishing days in California are Saturday, July 3, and Saturday, September 4, both days coinciding with national holidays, the Fourth of July weekend, and Labor Day weekend. These two days make for great opportunities to try fishing, and if you like it, buy a fishing license for the year. All sport fishing regulations apply on free days. It's seven weeks, more or less, until opening day 2021, and having a traditional “Fishmas” will do us all some good. We can spend our home time getting our rods, reels, tackle boxes, and bait rounded up, and put some smiles on our faces thinking about the enormous trout waiting in the High Sierra.

Elvie Henderson, long time Bishop resident, passed peacefully on March 12, at the age of 88, much as he lived his earthly life, surrounded by a loving family and friends in his hometown of Bishop. As he aged, Elvie commented nearly daily what a privilege it was to live in Bishop and the Owens Valley. He cherished that privilege. Elvie was born on August 27, 1932 to Hugh and Ina (Imus) Henderson. He had two older sisters, Cleo Ray Yost and Mary Lou Cox. His birthplace was Nogales, AZ, at his grandfather’s ranch, as the young family was relocating from the Owens Valley to help work the Henderson family farm near Hudson, SD. Tragically, his father passed in South Dakota when Elvie was 6 months old. With help from a brother or two, Ina and her children moved back to Bishop to be closer to her family. She took various jobs including hay crew cook for several local ranches and waitressing in town. She started at Jack’s Waffle Shop the first day it opened and held this steady work for several decades. She later married Merrill Curtis, a good looking strapping young man about town, who matured into the role of stepfather and supporting and caring husband. Elvie thrived as he grew up in Bishop. He was mischievous, smart, industrious, strong, and good with his hands, but he quickly learned that a career in sports was not in his DNA. He would often comment that a shortcoming of being a Henderson was “that we run in one spot too long”. Elvie graduated from Bishop Union High School in 1950 and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 1954, with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. A first in his immediate family! Elvie started his engineering career employed by Westinghouse but this career was quickly interrupted by being drafted into the US Army. His college degree served him well in military service as he was quickly assigned to inspect and oversee explosive manufacturing at the Firestone Tire Plant in sunny Los Angeles as an Engineering Specialist Grade 4. He was honorably discharged from the Army in 1957. During college and the Army, Elvie had his eye on a young, family friend by the name of Kathryn Amy Roe from Kingman, AZ. Elvie commented that it took seven long years, but he finally got her to say yes to his marriage proposal. They married in 1956 in Phoenix, AZ as Kathy graduated from ASU with a teaching degree. The young married couple initially settled in southern California where Elvie was employed in the aerospace industry, while Kathy taught grade school. Her teaching career soon ended with the arrival of their children, including Don and Hugh in rapid succession, and later a daughter, Pamela. Elvie and Kathy were soul mates and had a loving shared partnership through their 57 years of marriage. With the desire to raise their children in a small town and be closer to family, Elvie and Kathy began to look for ways to resettle in Bishop. Their hope was soon realized with the purchase of Coach and Camper Service in 1970, beginning a thirty-year family business working side by side. Also with the move to Bishop, their faith grew and strengthened, first by joining the Bishop Methodist Church, Church on the Mountain at Crowley Lake, and then Bishop Creek Community Church. Through this fellowship they made many close and lasting friends. Their testament to the congregation was their growing faith and the example they set of a loving and supportive marriage. As their kids grew-up and started their own families, Kathy became more involved in community service, culminating in three elected terms on the Bishop City Council. Elvie continued to focus on keeping the family business running until its closing in 2002. During these later working years and into retirement, Elvie often commented that he stayed busy enough by accompanying and “driving Ms. Daisy” to her numerous community commitments and events. Being mechanically inclined and handy, Elvie could fix or manufacture any item. He always had a couple of improvement projects underway and another two or three under research and design. Examples of these home projects ranged from converting an attached garage to a living room, construction of a family camper complete with cable loading system, artistic metal engravings and custom jewelry, a mechanical and then hydraulic dump trailers, hand-crafted maple bookcases that continues to grace his family room, and numerous other crafted items for both family and friends. His craftsmanship and ingenuity was greatly admired by all who had the opportunity to see his creations. As Kathy’s health failed, Elvie’s focus changed from home projects to being her personal caregiver and primary support. When she passed in 2013, Elvie lost his soul mate and was never quite the same man. Although he put on a cheery and happy face, on the inside he was simply waiting to be called home to heaven. To help pass the time and stay active, Elvie could often be seen taking daily walks around town or sitting on a park bench watching the busy world pass. Elvie is survived by his sister Mary Lou, his three children and spouses Don and Anne Henderson, Hugh and Cindy Henderson and Pam and Jim Dunn, grandchildren Cassie and Luis Baez, Elaina and Cody Barr, Sandra Dunn, and Steven Omohundro and Jo Barlow, also great grandson’s Cy Scott, Cal, Clay, and Cain Omohundro, great grandson Enzo Baez and great granddaughter Peyton Barr, a large extended family including numerous cousins, nephews, nieces, and many caring friends. Due to current safety precautions, a small private family graveside service will be held when Elvie is interned alongside Kathy at the East Line Street Cemetery. Later this summer a celebration of life memorial may be scheduled. Elvie’s family would like to express their deep appreciation to Hugh and Cindy Henderson for their ever-present care of Dad during his last years, to the community neighbors that helped Dad home after he fell on a few walks, to the caring and professional staff and health care employees at Pioneer Health Care who made his last weeks comfortable and peaceful, and to Pastor Kelly Larson and wife Suzanne, who frequently stopped by to visit and comfort Dad. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations made in Elvie’s name to the Laws Railroad Museum and Historical Site, P.O. Box 363 Bishop, CA 93515.

Every spring and summer, hundreds of baby animals are injured and orphaned, many of them victims of tree-trimming and pruning accidents. Sometimes we can return them to their nest or an artificial nest. Others can be be reunited with their parents. The injured are treated. Wildcare is trained and ready to help. ALWAYS be nest-aware when pruning and trimming! Animals will be using your trees, bushes, shrubs and hedges as a nursery until late October! Most wild animals have their first brood of babies in the spring, between March and June. However, our erratic winter has led many birds and mammals to nest much earlier. At Keough's, a pair of Common Ravens have been on their nest for more than 4 weeks. Their eggs are most likely already hatched! Yesterday, a friend who was tree pruning, just barely avoided a disaster when he spotted a hummingbird nest that contained one egg! (Mom eventually lays two.) Continue to be aware as spring arrives. Nests are camouflaged intentionally, so they can be missed, even by the most careful inspection. Many species will have a second brood in July or August if food supplies are sufficient, meaning that These young cottontail rabbits are well-hidden and could all too "baby season" often easily fall victim to a lawn mower. stretches into October in many areas. It really is best to avoid trimming and pruning between March and October. Other wild animals nest, den or burrow in brush, grass, stumps or rock piles. Some birds, such as the California Quail, nest on the ground. Tree squirrels nest in leafy clumps in trees. Cottontail rabbits and jack rabbits nest in grassy areas; ground squirrels in firewood piles or downed trees. As residents of the Eastern Sierra, we share our sky and ponds, forests, fields and desert, canals and lakes with a wide variety of wild brothers. These animals decorate our skies and please us with their songs. Importantly, they all--predators and prey-strive to keep nature's balance. We can help them or harm them. Let's help them. Call Wildcare Eastern Sierra at 760-872-1487 for help or advice.
