  • Journal of the Amerimn Museum of Fly Fishing
    Journal of the Amerimn Museum of Fly Fishing WINTER 2~03 VOLUME 19 NUMBER I Trout Memories and Pike Tales caught and released my first trout in April 1989 on the Beaverlull. My memory of this is pretty good, I think, Ialthough it's not as vivid as perhaps it should be. I know the date because my husband saved the black stonefly nymph and framed it in a shadowbox-an act of historical documentation close to the date of the actual event. When we lived in the D.C. area, we'd sometimes drive up to Big Hunting Creek, a favorite haunt of my high school days. I must have occasionally caught fish there, but I can't remember any particular fish. Maybe I didn't catch any. What I remember is being happy on the familiar creek, away from the city. What if I did vividly remember these fishing trips? Would I be right in their detail? How much of memory is what actual- ly happened, and how much of it is remembering the story we tell ourselves about what happened? How do the details change over time? Paul Schullery was doing a lot of fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park thirty years ago when he first began reading By noting the first published claim of pike not taking the about the sport's history.

  • Seth Green Father of Fish Culture
    Edited by DEXTER PERKINS, City Historian and BLAKE MCKELVEY, Assistant City Historian Vol. VI JULY, 1944 No. 3 Seth Green Father of Fish Culture By SYLVIA R. BLACK Background Over 125 years ago, Adonijah Green, farmer, cleared the woods on the present site of Culver Road and Empire Boulevard. He had come here with his wife a few years before 1817, either directly from England or from the New England States, knowing that the rich earth of the Genesee country, bearing huge forests, could be made produc- tive. Here he hewed the hard timber, which was abundant in the forest, and built his one-story, square, log cabin. It was a primitive home, with rough boards for a floor, a door fastened by a wooden latch with string, and a chimney made of sticks and plastered with clay. The many cracks were stuffed with sticks and clay to keep out the wind and rain. Two small square windows admitted light. In this primitive home a son, Seth, destined to become famous, to meet with Presidents and to be honored by foreign countries, was born on March 19, 1817. Seth was trained very early in the ways of a pioneer farmer’s son-how to sow wheat and corn and how to thresh the grain with flails. Seth learned quickly, and it was not long before Adonijah could rely on him to help trap the small animals so abund- ant in the forest, and to reel in a good-sized fish. During the winter, dressed in his warm buckskin breeches and flaxen shirts made by Mrs.

Abstract Aquaculture development commentary supports the formation of fish farmer associations or producer organizations as avenues for cultivating small- and medium-scale commercial farmers. However, little is known about the types of associations that facilitate commercialization. This research presents four qualitative case studies, based on semi-structured interviews, profiling existing associations of commercial fish farmers in Uganda. We conclude that the umbrella organizations under which local fish farmer associations vertically align themselves have important implications for fish farmer production.
