    North Fork Holston River Report 2017

    North Fork Holston River 2017 From its origin in the southeast corner of Bland County, the North Fork of the Holston River flows more than 100 miles through Southwest Virginia before crossing the Tennessee State line near the community of Yuma. The river boasts an outstanding smallmouth bass population, and supports populations of many other fish species. Sport fish populations are sampled in the North Fork Holston River using boat- mounted electrofishing gear. This sampling equipment generates a controlled field of electricity around the boat that immobilizes the fish. The fish can then be collected with dipnets and placed in a livewell on the boat to recover. This method does not kill the fish, but only stuns the fish so that they can be collected, counted, measured and released. These population samples are typically conducted during April and May, when most fish are in shallow water. The relative abundance of each fish species is calculated as the number of fish collected per hour of sampling. This is also referred to as the catch rate or catch per unit of effort (CPE). The total length and weight of individual fish are measured to determine the condition of the fish and also to evaluate the size structure of the populations. A balanced size structure with representative numbers of both large and small fish is ideal. Mostly small fish in the population might mean that growth is slow or few fish are surviving to older ages. Mostly large fish in the population might mean that natural reproduction is lacking and there are not enough young fish being recruited to replace older fish that die.

    Mountain Memories

    Mountain Memories By Gene A. Morrell April 2014 2 Author’s note From December 1977 through January 1979, I wrote “Mountain Memories,” a weekly column, which was published in the Sullivan County News in Blountville, Tennessee. These local and family history columns were based on my research of published sources and on oral history derived from my interviews of a number of county residents, many of whom have since passed away. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that all the columns have been published at one time in a single publication. The columns are listed by the dates they were printed in the newspaper, and I have added a headline to each column to aid readers in quickly determining its topic. Hundreds of individual names and place names are mentioned in the columns, and, to aid readers in locating information of particular interest to them, I have included an index at the end of this book. Gene A. Morrell 3 December 15, 1977 Introduction History abounds in East Tennessee and, especially, Sullivan County. This is not just history as written in textbooks, or as constituted in established historical monuments, but is also the oral history of local communities that has been handed down from generation to generation. This history also includes family histories contained on the yellowing, aged pages of old family Bibles, letters from long forgotten relatives, and bits and pieces of papers with timeless notes of births, deaths, or marriages. Far too often these irreplaceable Bibles or other records have been thoughtlessly destroyed or lost.

Previous studies were conducted in 1965, 1967 (cursory study, primarily focusing on al- gae), 1974, 1977, 1980, 1990 and 1997. Elements of the 2010 study included analysis of land cover, basic environmental water chemistry, attached algae and aquatic macrophytes, aquatic insects, non-insect macroinvertebrates, and fish. For each study element, field samples were collected and analyzed from Scientists from the Academy's Patrick Center for Environmental Research zones located on the South Fork Holston River have conducted seven major environmental monitoring studies on the (Zones 2, 3 and 5), Big Sluice (Zone 4), mainstem South Fork Holston River since 1965.

The design of the 2010 study was very similar to that of previous surveys, allowing comparisons among surveys. In addition, two areas of potential local impacts were assessed for the first time: Big Tree Spring (BTS, located on the South Fork within Zone 2) and Kit Bottom (KU and KL in the Big Sluice, upstream of Zone 4).
