Renaissance HI s SUMMER has been a distressing one for those concerned about wildlife populations, in Tparticular trout populations, in the drought- plagued East. The Battenkill, here in Vermont, has been virtually unfishable. Anyone who cares about that fishery resource has stayed away from the river, not wanting to further stress the fish gasping for oxy- gen in the dangerously low water. We find ourselves praying that these months of drought and heat will have less impact than we suspect and fear. The Museum, though, is undergoing an inspiring renaissance. We have a new dvnamic director whose energetic and visionary presence has been felt imme- diately; he has brought a new spirit to the Museum, one that we hope you will become part of as we head toward the twenty-first century. In this Fall issue of The American Fly Fisher, we present a detailed history of the Adirondack League Club, written by former Museum director and author Paul Schullery. We think you'll find his comprehen- sive article-about a group of people who, over the years, has acted as steward to a huge section of the Adirondacks - most interesting." We have also excerpted some thought-provoking, historic quotes from a new book by another former director, John Merwin, called Well-Cast Lines. These nuggets have withstood the test of time. (It may ap- pear that we are heavy in the area of former directors in this issue, but it so happens that these fellows are among the best writers in our field.) Personally, I am delighted to report that we are adding another member to the team that produces The American Fly Fisher. -

Mike Prescott: Field Notes, Topic Log, and Interview Transcript Raquette River Dams Oral History Project
Mike Prescott: Field Notes, Topic Log, and Interview Transcript Raquette River Dams Oral History Project Mike Prescott Field Notes Interview with Mike Prescott for the Raquette River Dams Oral History Project Collector: Camilla Ammirati (TAUNY) Recording Title: Mike Prescott (7.16.15) Format: Audio Digital Recording Length: 00:51:02 Machine Model used: Roland R-05 Wave/MP3 Recorder Interview date: July 16, 2015 Time: 1:30pm Place of interview: The TAUNY Center in Canton, NY Setting and Circumstance: Mike was glad to make a visit to Canton, so he met Roque Murray of WPBS and me at The TAUNY Center. We talked in the classroom, which made for a somewhat echo-y recording. Additional Notes: I first met Mike at the Raquette River Blueway Corridor group meeting the spring before I started on this project. He’s an Adirondack Guide and a historian of the river, and he has written a fair bit about the river’s history for the Adirondack Almanac. While he came to my attention as someone who shares our interest in the history of the dams rather than someone who was involved in or affected by their building, talking with him revealed his own personal connection to the dams’ history. As a child, he went to see the construction in progress, and it clearly stuck with him. He came back to the dams through his later interest in paddling and otherwise exploring the outdoors in the region. One particularly striking idea that came up in our discussion is that his main interest in the dams is, in a sense, an interest in the history of the dams that weren’t built. -
