Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the pervasive and substantial decline of Atlantic salmon populations in Maine over the past 150 years, and because they are close to extinction, a comprehensive statewide action should be taken now to ensure their survival. The populations of Atlantic salmon have declined drastically, from an estimated half million adult salmon returning to U.S. rivers each year in the early 1800s to perhaps as few as 1,000 in 2001. The report recommends implementing a formalized decision-making approach to establish priorities, evaluate options and coordinate plans for conserving and restoring the salmon.

Book Synopsis The President's Salmon by : Catherine Schmitt
Download or read book The President's Salmon written by Catherine Schmitt and published by Down East Books. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every spring, for thousands of years, the rivers that empty into the North Atlantic Ocean turn silver with migrating fish. Among the crowded schools once swam the King of Fish, the Atlantic salmon. From New York to Labrador, from Russia to Portugal, sea-bright salmon defied current, tide, and gravity, driven inland by instinct and memory to the very streams where they themselves emerged from gravel nests years before. The salmon pools and rivers of Maine achieved legendary status among anglers and since 1912, it was tradition that the first salmon caught in the Penobscot River each spring was presented as a token to the President of the United States. The last salmon presented was in 1992, to George W. Bush.That year, the Penobscot counted more than 70 percent of the salmon returns on the entire Eastern seaboard, yet that was only 2 percent of the river's historic populations. Due to commercial over harvesting, damming, and environmental degradation of the fish's home waters, Atlantic salmon populations had been decimated. The salmon is said to be as old as time and to know all the past and future. Twenty-two thousand years ago, someone carved a life-sized image of Atlantic salmon in the floor of a cave in southern France. Salmon were painted on rocks in Norway and Sweden. The salmon’s effortless leaping and ability to survive in both river and sea led the Celts to mythologize the salmon as holder of all mysterious knowledge, gained by consuming the nine hazelnuts of wisdom that fell into the Well of Segais. The President's Salmon presents a rich cultural and biological history of the Atlantic salmon and the salmon fishery, primarily revolving around the Penobscot River, the last bastion for the salmon in America and a key battleground site for the preservation of the species.
Book Synopsis Genetic Status of Atlantic Salmon in Maine by : National Research Council
Download or read book Genetic Status of Atlantic Salmon in Maine written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-03-22 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atlantic salmon in Maine, once abundant but now seriously depleted, were listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) in November 2000. The listing covers the wild fish in eight Maine rivers as a single "distinct population segment." The controversy in Maine that accompanied the listing led Congress to request the National Research Council's (NRC's) advice on the science relevant to understanding and reversing the declines in Maine's salmon populations. The charge to the NRC's Committee on Atlantic Salmon in Maine included an interim report focusing on the genetic makeup of Maine Atlantic salmon populations. This is the interim report. Understanding the genetic makeup of Maine's salmon is important for recovery efforts, because the degree to which populations in Maine differ from adjacent populations in Canada and the degree to which populations in different Maine rivers and tributaries differ from each other affect the choice of recovery options that are most likely to be effective. This report focuses only on questions of genetic distinctiveness. The committee's final report will address the broader issues, such as the factors that have caused Maine's salmon populations to decline and the options for helping them to recover.

Book Synopsis Flyfisher's Guide to New England by : Zambello, Lou
Download or read book Flyfisher's Guide to New England written by Zambello, Lou and published by Wilderness Adventures Press. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely new flyfishing guide to New England is the best flyfishing guide ever on this fishery-rich and historic area. Author and flyfishing guide Lou Zambello provides all the information to improve your catch rate in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Masschusetts. Full-color maps accompany the fisheries, complete with GPS coordinates, access points, public land, access roads, boat ramps (including small hand launches), parking areas, named holes and pools and more. Many flyfishers flock to the same well-known waters that are written about again and again and face crowded conditions. Yet there are hundreds of productive waters that are ignored. Zambello, who has spent over 30 years fishing in New England, teamed with former Maine State Fisheries Director John Boland and other experts to cover many of these great uncrowded waters in the Flyfisher's Guide to New England. Lou spent the last several years criss-crossing New England researching this book, a review of many hundreds of both popular and unknown, moving and stillwaters in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. Following Wilderness Adventures Press' tradition of creating the best flyfishing guide books, the new full-color Flyfisher's Guide to New England will help you get your own piece of fishing heaven. Also check out Zambello's first book, Flyfishing Northern New England's Seasons.
Book Synopsis TALES FROM A BYGONE ERA by : J.A. RAMA MOORTY
Download or read book TALES FROM A BYGONE ERA written by J.A. RAMA MOORTY and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an attempt to spread some cheer and positive vibes at a time when there is an almost all-pervading gloom – largely triggered by the pandemic. The author has used his phenomenal memory to chronicle the instances narrated by luminaries like his family elders, school teachers, instructors from an in-service training institution and professional colleagues. There is also a section about some memorable programmes beamed over All India Radio. The readers will find that the book covers a wide gamut that includes humour, pragmatism, and life-skills. It could also be seen that the central characters in these instances are not well- known personalities (about whom most of us have already read or heard a lot). Instead, the ‘narrators’ have been persons with whom most of us can easily identify.

Book Synopsis In Pursuit of Trophy Brook Trout by : Lou Zambello
Download or read book In Pursuit of Trophy Brook Trout written by Lou Zambello and published by Wilderness Adventures Press. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) has captured the fascination of anglers for centuries, and some flyfishers devote lifetimes in pursuit of wild or native trophies. Yet 90 percent never catch a brook trout over 14 inches. Why? Simple: the average angler doesn’t know how to find them and rarely employs the specialized tactics required for hooking a large brook trout. Which is why well-known author of New England flyfishing, Lou Zambello, has written this new book, In Pursuit of Trophy Brook Trout: Techniques, Timing, and Territories. Zambello has fished for and guided anglers after wild trophy brook trout for decades. He has spent years deciphering seasonal migration patterns, aquatic life cycles, and weather events impacting brookie behavior. He’s tested different flies and tactics, both on the surface and down deep. This book explains where big brookies can be found, when they are catchable, how to fool them, and how to land them, all while recounting illuminating trophy trout experiences. The beauty of a male trophy brook trout in spawning colors rivals any of nature’s canvases – broad greenish flanks decorated with blue halos and the deep orange or burgundy of its underside highlighted by white-tipped fins that looked like an underwater baker had dipped them in vanilla frosting. Landing a wild or native brook trout that measure in pounds instead of inches should be at the top of everyone’s bucket list. Read and reread this insightful new book and become one of the lucky few who can boast of landing a trophy wild brook trout.

Download or read book Squaretail written by Bob Mallard and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brook trout are native in the Eastern United States and were the most important fly rod gamefish for early anglers, until they were supplanted by nonnative brown and rainbow trout. Today, brook trout are indicators of cold, clean water and healthy ecosystems, and in almost every place they are found, anglers will also find wild country and relative solitude. They have been introduced throughout the Rocky Mountains, where they grow large and abundant. This is the most complete guide to brook trout ever written and not only includes information on tackle and techniques but important conservation information and an in-depth section on top brook trout destinations, from Maine to Argentina. With a foreword by Ted Williams.
Download or read book Silver Streams written by R. A. Lawrence and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1786 fresh Atlantic salmon were sold by Col. Robert Treat for two pence per pound at his store near Penjajawoc Falls on the Penobscot River. J.F. Leavitt and fly rod maker H.L. Leonard reported the first Atlantic salmon caught on a fly at the mouth of Wassataquoik Stream in 1880. A few years later the Penobscot Salmon Club was formed, its club house built on the shores of the Bangor Salmon Pool. It was here that Maine anglers began the tradition of recreational fly fishing for Atlantic salmon. In 1885, forty salmon were reported caught by salmon anglers at this pool. A record 30 pound salmon was recorded (not caught on a fly) by W.W. Fogg. In 1921, the first Atlantic salmon of the season caught on a fly was sent to President Taft, and a tradition had begun. Commercial salmon fishermen caught up to 7,000 salmon in river weirs annually, not to mention those fish caught in the drift net fishery along the coastal waters. Due to excessive commercial fishing, mills and dams and water pollution, the last big runs of Atlantic salmon were reported in the early 1930's. Over fishing and habitat degradation continued to take its toll and by 1940 only a remnant of Atlantic salmon survived in the more remote rivers and streams of Down East Maine. From this remaining stock of wild Atlantic salmon, the restoration effort was begun by the newly founded Maine Salmon Commission in 1947. On a handful of streams the tradition of salmon angling continued through tough times. Conservationists, fly fishermen and river watchers continued to petition the state legislature on behalf of the Atlantic salmon, and established salmon organizations to voice concerns and protect the salmon rivers of Maine. Over the next two decades the restoration effort continued in earnest with commercial fishing restrictions, stream enhancement, water pollution control, removal of dams and fish way installation on those dams that remained. Fish hatcheries were established and salmon stocking programs supplemented wild salmon stocks. Over time salmon returned to the streams of the Down East in record numbers. Fishermen returned to the streams as well, carrying on the traditions and continuing in the footsteps of their salmon angling fore fathers. By 1981, Atlantic salmon also returned to the pools of the Penobscot in historic numbers. Anglers again flocked to the shores of the river. The Penobscot Salmon Club was reformed along with the formation of other salmon clubs at Eddington and Veasie. Silver Streams is a compilation of short stories, journal entries, poems and artwork that flowed together over time to tell a larger story. It is a story of fly fishing legends and folklore, of quaint New England towns and a rustic environment, of wild creatures and conservation depicting a fleeting age and a unique piece of Yankee Americana. These writings and artwork were composed or completed by the author over a 25 year period, while traversing the streams and shorelines of Down East Maine with fly rod, art supplies, notebook and camera. The resulting work documents a vanishing species and habitat, a fleeting breed of sportsmen, unique folklore and a historic era in salmon angling. The art and writing were conceived before the decline, at a time when Atlantic salmon flourished and "the first restoration" had become a distant memory. But seasons passed, and fall eventually turned to winter. Old timers told stories dating back to a time when salmon failed to return to their native streams. Optimistic anglers didn't notice at first, or take heed, but reality set in when the Federal Government declared the Atlantic salmon an endangered species, and the tradition of salmon angling on the streams of Maine was banned. The hope is that these stories and images inspired on the salmon streams of Maine will renew interest in the American salmon angling heritage, refocus attention on the conservation of Atlantic salmon habitat and revive the dream
