...testify with your Bonnie Angelo that Southerners never really leave. But I can't go back-until perhaps they improve the ski slopes back home, and the Chinook and steelhead run the Bayou Pierre. The Yankee life has been too good...
...encouraging signs of progress on some reservations. The Lummi tribe of Washington State, a sea-oriented people along Puget Sound, are using federal funds and considerable hard labor to develop the most advanced aquafarm in the U.S. They control the spawning and cultivating of oysters, the breeding of hybrid steelhead-rainbow trout and the harvesting of algae, used in making toothpaste, ice cream and pudding. It may net $1,000 an acre for the Indians, compared with at most $40 an acre in land farming...

Among the seekers who stay are a large number of the troubled souls, mainly young and middleaged, who join encounter groups, which proliferate in California like steelhead and artichokes and the wines that go with them...

Originally an ocean fish, the alewife could not penetrate very far into the Great Lakes until the 1930s, when rebuilding of the Welland Canal provided it with a convenient bypass around Niagara Falls. Even so, their numbers remained relatively small until the 1950s, when the sea lamprey-also an oceanic interloper-wiped the Great Lakes clean of the trout and burbot that were feeding on alewives. Too small a target for the lamprey (which is now being eliminated by chemical controls), and left with no natural enemies, the alewives promptly began a population explosion...
Commercial fishermen now take about 50 million Ibs. of the plentiful alewives from Lake Michigan each year, for processing into fish meal, fish oil, and cat and chicken food. Worried fed eral and state agents have stocked the lake with 2,000,000 steelhead trout and 300,000 coho salmon, hoping that they will take to an alewife diet and proliferate, thus bringing the ecology of the lake back into balance...
