May 1984 Vol Pennsylvania m Thp Kpvstnnp Rtnte's (Iffirinl Fishiner ana1 Rnntine Magazine STRAIGHT TALK This is a very special time of year when, after spring fishing provides the earliest cure for cabin fever, we begin again to roam through Pennsylvania's beautiful countryside and to reappreciate the beauties of this great Commonwealth. By now the spring rains have washed away the ugliness of snow blackened by man's activities, and the backroads are no longer just a sea of mud, and the beauties of spring grandeur are around us. But there is something that increasingly mars our views. Pennsylvania—especially at this time of year—shows the disagreeable side of itself. Much of our countryside is ruined by rural slums. I guess a lot of this is regionalized, even down to small segments where the soil types and the use of natural resources affect the way its human occupants treat it. A wide, rich valley with obviously successful farms is almost universally kept neat and clean, and yet, just over the ridge, in a valley of unproductive soils where the farms (or attempts at farming) are obviously not so successful, the area seems to attract a kind of people who have no appreciation for what other people think of the way they "keep house." Mile after mile of beautiful countryside can be suddenly discounted by one or two examples of man's slobbishness in the outdoors. All that is needed to depress property values—even though aesthetics are LITTERING AND difficult to define in benefit/cost ratios—is one or two properties where they leave three or four rusting automobile hulks to show their SELFISHNESS selfishness toward the rest of mankind and the universe. There are some townships with enlightened leadership that forbid the keeping of vehicles that cannot meet current inspection requirements- this is not at all universal, and there is the typical American attitude that what they do with their own property is their own business—despite what their sloppy stewardship does to other people. We have recently come back from the rugged mountains in northcentral Pennsylvania and find more and more of this creeping disease, where people find a lot at the edge of town and just dump old refrigerators, rusting metal drums, and piles of bottles that can't be redeemed for a deposit where they were bought. Pennsylvania's "last frontier" in the northcentral highlands is a classic example of wasteful attitudes of people. Those people take something away from all of us— even though it is to each his own castle. We are all losers because of it. In the meantime, along the highways people still discard their throw- away beverage containers, and the lobbyists for the container industries still are able to bottle up the most enlightened bottle bills that have ever come out of our General Assembly. It's enough to make you want to cry. <3^^p^ ud~ G^UJL^ Pennsylvania MAY 1984 VOL. 53 NO. 5 Official Publication of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission 4 26 Tips for Tracking Trophy Trout by Gerry Kingdom Fooling trout is one thing; tempting a waterway's biggest trout is something else.

First of all, I’m happy to announce the Board elected a new vice-president for 2007. Charles Edwards stepped forward at the annual dinner and said he was thinking of the vice-president’s position. He came to February’s board meeting to see how things are run. Well, he showed up at which time the Board immediately elected him to that position. Welcome aboard, Charles, we appreciate your volunteering. Please, take the time at our next regular meetings to greet our new vice-president, plus Jacob Loyko our new Property Chairperson. Jacob stepped forward at our dinner to volunteer for that position. His first project will be to convert our library of rental how-to fishing tapes into DVD’s. We’ll still hold on to the tapes for those of us who still drive around listening to our 8-tracks in our Model T’s, but to those who have the new DVD format rental should become a little easier. The club has a library of around 60 tapes on various aspects of fly fishing that every member is invited to rent for a couple of dollars with no immediate return date. However, Jacob will keep track of who has what DVD/tape and will be on your case if it isn’t returned within a reasonable amount of time.

    8 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater www.fish.state.pa.us Going to the Mat with Shad by Vic Attardo Remember the Florida Marlins of the mid-1990s? They rocketed from last place to the World Championship in one year. That’s nice to think about, because then there’s precedence for this season’s shad fishing. After an utterly abysmal spring in 1999, perhaps there’s PINCH Figure 1 hope in the new millennium. Then again, after the Mar- POINT lins won the championship, they bottomed out the RIVER CURRENT following year. Though water conditions were very good, about the only STREAM people who were happy with last season’s shad fishing were CURRENT the few anglers who squeaked out tournament wins with lightweight fish. When a six-pound shad wins the famous Forks of the Delaware Tournament in Easton, you know something’s wrong.

Gone are the heady days of the WEAK AND early 1990s when it took an eight-pounder to garner top CURRENT POOL money. Last spring, even five-pound shad were winning daily prizes. Personally, for the first time in about 10 years, I didn’t catch at least a six-pound fish. Last May, during the season of our discontent, Fish & Boat Commission Fisheries Biologist Dave Miko told me a woeful tale. Each year the biologists are assigned the task of acquiring 30 shad per week for five weeks for the Commission’s studies.

Unfortunately, their numbers and their pristine habitat have been declining for years. The Upper Gunpowder Falls Brook Trout Partnership is a coalition of volunteers, community organizers, and government agencies. Their mission is to improve water quality and stream habitat and to restore brook trout populations in the Upper Gunpowder Falls watershed. The partnership includes Trout Unlimited, the MD DNR, Baltimore & Carroll Counties and the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture. I am looking forward to Scott’s presentation. Hope that you can join us on the 11th! The Gunpowder is one of my favorite streams to fish. It’s a beautiful stream and the fishing, while challenging, is a lot of fun. While I have caught only brown trout, I have never caught brook trout in the upper Gunpowder. In fact, I didn’t realize that there were brook trout in the stream. At our next meeting, on Tuesday, February 11th, we welcome Scott Scarfone. He is with the Upper Gunpowder Falls Brook Trout Partnership and he will talk to us about their efforts to restore brook trout populations in the Gunpowder watershed. Brook trout are Maryland’s only native freshwater trout species. Also, the Gunpowder basin supports 1 Beginner’s Fly Tying By Don Fine On February 17, we will launch our new Beginner’s Fly Tying program.

  • American Shad (Alosa Sapidissima)
    American Shad (Alosa sapidissima) Family Clupeidae, Herrings Common names: shad, Atlantic shad, white shad Description: American shad are dark blue to green above with paler sides and a silver underbelly. Behind the upper edge of their gill cover is a large dusky spot that is usually followed by several small, less distinct, dusky spots. These fish have a laterally compressed body and a deeply forked tail fin. The midline of their belly is saw edged and sharp and their scales are large. They have only one dorsal fin and one anal fin. American shad are the largest members of the true herring family and can grow to 30 inches in length and weigh over 9 pounds. Where found: inshore Similar Gulf of Maine species: Atlantic herring, alewife, blueback herring, Atlantic menhaden Remarks: American shad are anadromous fish. Commonly known as 'the poor man's tarpon," shad are highly sought after as a sportfish because of their feisty nature and their ability to leap. The most popular time of year to go shad fishing is in the spring when these fish are returning to their coastal streams and rivers to spawn. Although shad are primarily plankton feeders, they will take a variety of baits, lures and flies. Either light spinning or fly fishing gear is recommended.
