In blent medical experts...
usuad) while participating in
the sport.., agree that "fish-
ing is goc~ "hereapy, both phy-
sical and emotional."'
Literally hundreds of thou-
sands of Oklahomans head for
the lakes and streams in this
state each year. They don't
need a doctor to tell them that
fishing is relaxing. They pro-
bably have seen the doctor sit-
ting in the next boat With a line
in the water.
Fishing can be elaborate,
complete with the trip to the
seashore and renting deep sea
boats and equipment. Or it can
be the cane pole and worms
affair on the banks of a neigh-
borhood creek. Either way it
gets us out in the fresh air
slca
and sunshine, gets our minds off
of the cares of the day.
Fishing is only mild exer-
cise, unless you are the vigor-
our type who wades through rac-
ing rapids br rows hard for mi-
les. R's good for the body and
spirit, but it has some built
in hazards.
The most common fishing ac-
cident is catching a barbed
hook in the flesh, usually a
finger or a hand, but some-
times a leg or other part of the
body.
Wise fishermen usually
shield the hooks on their plugs,
or they keep them in the small
plastic boxes they originally
came in.
Fly or bait casters are re-
sponslble for many hook ac-
in
ereop
cidents to their fellow fisher-
men. Look before each cast to
make certain that no one is in
the way. This will also save
lures from snagging on trees
and bushes as you cast.
If, despite precautions, a hook
becomes embedded in your hand
or finger, don't try to pull it
out. If you have a pair of dia-
gonal or side cutting pliers in
your tackle box, cut off the
shank. Your physician will
push it through, thus causing
less further damage to torn
fie sh.
After removing the hook, the
doctor will also, if he thinks
necessary, administer anti-
biotics and tetanus toxoid.
Hook wounds often lead to in-
fection unless treated properly.
