Yup, and even if there are regulations forbidding transfer of live fish bet=
ween water bodies, sooner or later, some idiot will get around that.

 

I see hope in some of the more remote areas, upstream of falls or seriously=
 sloping rapids.

 

A couple of years ago, folks in the know advised me that pickerel and bass =
had entered the upper Tusket. Bad news.

Smallmouth basically wipe out trout, has happened in Lake Egmont and other =
lakes coming off the Shubenacadie River. Lake Egmont used to be flourshing =
in trout, not since tha bass entered. The the Pickerel entered about 4 year=
s later than the smallmouthand that is all she wrote.

 

The only trout now are on our eastern shore watersheds and they are in dang=
er I hear from smallmouth, sad indeed.

 

All the best,

Darrell

Hi John & All,

    I think the reputation of Small-mouth Bass has been sullied by zenophob=
ia; introduced and therefore bad. I asked on Naturens shortly after I joine=
d, for proof that they were harmful and received only fluff.

    They flourish where Trout can not survive, are fun to catch and, when s=
kinned and filletted, are good eating. I have never encountered Bass in lik=
ely Trout water. In marginal water large Bass may eat small Trout but I wou=
ld suppose that large Trout would do likewise.

    Plants and animals should be judged on properties and effects not origi=
n.

Have never heard of any goldfish or carp down Yarmouth way.  A former Germa=
n was interested in growing carp for the European market 35-odd years ago. =
I expressed grave doubt that he could get the permits.  Don=E2=80=99t think=
 anything happened.

 

 

Will try to remember to pass along any news on this and will keep ears open=
=2E

 

 

We gotta start eating and encouraging more people to eat pickerel and small=
mouth bass! No more fish intros., please!

At the Museum, we have been trying to determine the distribution of goldfis=
h within the Province.

 

 

We would appreciate any geo-reference reports on their occurrence .   If an=
yone has such data, would appreciate if they could contact me.

 

 

Regards
