...step. Chief of the trackers is a Chinese John Henry nicknamed Old Pebble. Old Pebble is a kind of mythic Nature Boy who can chant his weary men through a rough gorge or leap into the treacherous waters to unsnag the towline and break surface with it like a trout...

Almost immediately he is caught up in a surrealist country of thieves, grifters, pimps and prostitutes. Here he thrives as naturally as a trout in clean running water.

Out of this laborious screening has come a single compound that kills infant lampreys without hurting rainbow trout or bluegill sunfish. It is now being tested on other fish, and if it still looks good, next summer when the streams are low it will get a full-scale test...
