They that’s been catching fish for over 100 years got its start. returned to Pensacola in July. Who was the first person to design and use the Zaragossa? What was its true origin? The complexity of one of the key player’s family, their repeated use of same or similar names, and the confusion of how to spell a street name make the journey even more difficult. Through solving those questions we’ll try to find the lure’s origin. Along the way there will be stories of famous fishermen and unknown anglers. It’s an American story and it’s worth hearing. Roswell Bayard King Roswell Bayard King was born near Marietta, Georgia in 1870. His father was also named Roswell and so was his grandfather who founded the town of Roswell, Georgia.

  • Chapter in Fish Conservation Was Born
    A Dissertation Flies Only: Early Sport Fishing Conservation on Michigan’s Au Sable River By Bryon Borgelt Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctoral of Philosophy in History _________________________________ Advisor: Diane F. Britton _________________________________ College of Graduate Studies The University of Toledo May 2009 An Abstract of Flies Only: Early Sport Fishing Conservation on Michigan’s Au Sable River Bryon Borgelt Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctoral of Philosophy in History The University of Toledo May 2009 This dissertation focuses on the earliest stage of fish conservation on the Au Sable River of Michigan. It begins with the popularization of the grayling fishery in the nation’s sporting journals, such as Forest and Stream and Scribner’s Monthly where Thad Norris and others wrote of the adventure and abundance of fly fishing on the Au Sable. By the 1890s the grayling were all but gone due in part to over fishing, commercial lumbering and the introduction of non-native brook trout. Despite the absence of the grayling, a sustainable sport fishing industry had risen from the ashes of the cut over lands of the Michigan High Plains. Early sport fishers had recognized man’s role in the loss of grayling and began their own versions of fish and stream conservation centered in the towns of Grayling and Lovells. Early fish conservation looked directly at protecting the resource itself, and not the modern holistic approach that encompasses the entire ecosystem. The first focus was to create state laws that closed seasons and promoted more sporting methods of capture such as the use of a hook and line.
