Paper Hooks Anglers ’ Aide

COURT HOUSE - Since he rigged his first rod and reel from some twine, a wooden spool and a pole as a farm kid in Stratford, Lou Rodia has been hooked on fishing When he moved to Cape May County and grew up. the Court House resident, 56, decided to share his know-how about fresh and salt water fishing with other anglers. His byline, which has appeared on fishing columns in the Philadelphia Daily News. Saltwater Sportsman. Angler's News and Outdoor Life,-will also ap pear, this week in the Herald and Lantern sports section over his column called "Outdoors with Lou Rodia " "What I'll be writing about most ih the column is fishing reports."

One problem Rodia won’t address in his column (because he hasn’t yet found the solution) is "how to get more time to go fishing " That difficulty is for anglers to solve on their own.
