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 330 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

Book excerpt: Finalist for the Washington State Book Award • From the award-winning author of The Mushroom Hunters comes the story of an iconic fish, perhaps the last great wild food: salmon. For some, a salmon evokes the distant wild, thrashing in the jaws of a hungry grizzly bear on TV. For others, it’s the catch of the day on a restaurant menu, or a deep red fillet at the market. For others still, it’s the jolt of adrenaline on a successful fishing trip. Our fascination with these superlative fish is as old as humanity itself. Long a source of sustenance among native peoples, salmon is now more popular than ever. Fish hatcheries and farms serve modern appetites with a domesticated “product”—while wild runs of salmon dwindle across the globe. How has this once-abundant resource reached this point, and what can we do to safeguard wild populations for future generations? Langdon Cook goes in search of the salmon in Upstream, his timely and in-depth look at how these beloved fish have nourished humankind through the ages and why their destiny is so closely tied to our own. Cook journeys up and down salmon country, from the glacial rivers of Alaska to the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest to California’s drought-stricken Central Valley and a wealth of places in between. Reporting from remote coastlines and busy city streets, he follows today’s commercial pipeline from fisherman’s net to corporate seafood vendor to boutique marketplace. At stake is nothing less than an ancient livelihood. But salmon are more than food. They are game fish, wildlife spectacle, sacred totem, and inspiration—and their fate is largely in our hands. Cook introduces us to tribal fishermen handing down an age-old tradition, sport anglers seeking adventure and a renewed connection to the wild, and scientists and activists working tirelessly to restore salmon runs. In sharing their stories, Cook covers all sides of the debate: the legacy of overfishing and industrial development; the conflicts between fishermen, environmentalists, and Native Americans; the modern proliferation of fish hatcheries and farms; and the longstanding battle lines of science versus politics, wilderness versus civilization. This firsthand account—reminiscent of the work of John McPhee and Mark Kurlansky—is filled with the keen insights and observations of the best narrative writing. Cook offers an absorbing portrait of a remarkable fish and the many obstacles it faces, while taking readers on a fast-paced fishing trip through salmon country. Upstream is an essential look at the intersection of man, food, and nature. Praise for Upstream “Invigorating . . . Mr. Cook is a congenial and intrepid companion, happily hiking into hinterlands and snorkeling in headwaters. Along the way we learn about filleting techniques, native cooking methods and self-pollinating almond trees, and his continual curiosity ensures that the narrative unfurls gradually, like a long spey cast. . . . With a pedigree that includes Mark Kurlansky, John McPhee and Roderick Haig-Brown, Mr. Cook’s style is suitably fluent, an occasional phrase flashing like a flank in the current. . . . For all its rehearsal of the perils and vicissitudes facing Pacific salmon, Upstream remains a celebration.”—The Wall Street Journal
Book Synopsis Beneath the Black Water by : Jon Berry
Download or read book Beneath the Black Water written by Jon Berry and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-04-11 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When I was very young and on holiday in Scotland, my cousin told me about giant trout that lived in small numbers at the bottom of the Highlands deepest lochs. They were called salmo ferox, and they were rumoured to be uncatchable." In his twenties, wholly accidentally, Jon Berry caught one. This led to an obsession that would cost him every pound he had to his name, a few thousand that he did not, a couple of girlfriends and his home. It would take him to Scotland, Cumbria and the wildest corners of Ireland, in the company of a disparate band of fanatics, alcoholics, mountain men, scientists, tree-planting eco-warriors and one genuine soothsayer. Not all of them survived. This compelling account of Berry's mission to catch salmo ferox will have you hooked, fellow fisherman or not. His drive and determination is infectious, and the ups and downs of his life in the process thought-provoking. This is not just a story of a fish, albeit a cannibalistic giant trout of the glacial lochs; it is a tale of compulsion and escape, of the author's rediscovery of a landscape and a clan, and of a willing descent into madness.
