Opening Day Fishing Season - Fish Tips
| Imaginative pen-and-ink drawing of a fisherman embracing a trophy Muskelunge (Muskie), while holding his fishing rod. A sign near the fishing rod reads: "Fish Tips." This drawing appeared in the Wisconsin State Journal on May 23, 1963 with Sid's poem: "The passions of life are fleeting, but the love that last for all time, is the dream of an angler's trophy, caught on your own hook and line." |

In exchange, Sid would receive copies of the print to distribute on his own. For a composite reproduction of this image on one of Sid's greeting cards, see PH 6986G Box 5, Folder 2. |
