ROILY WATER PROTECTS FISH By CHAS. L. GILMORE In the Hydraulic Miner Believe it or not, the facts show that mining, and particularly hydraulic mining, is not detrimental to fish life. Hydraulic mining was in its heyday, and the rivers, particularly in the Sacramento watershed, were Saturated solutions of silt until the famous Sawyer decision in the early 80s’. Now, during that time the State of California imported many of our present food fishes, fish, which to the unitiated are believed native to these waters. In brief form, the following species of fish were imported from other states and planted in California in the years named: Shad, 1871; carp, 1872; eastern brook trout, 1872; whitefish, 1872; Atlantic solman 1874; black bass, 1874; pike; 1874; tautog, 1874; rock bass, 1874; awa, 1877; landlocked salmon, 1878;. striped bass, 135 fish in 1879, 300 fish in 1882. These were all importations and plantings before hydraulic mining was placed under the ban, The striped bass plantings are important. No fish culturist to date has ever found the secret of artificial propagation of striped bass, and these 435 fish were the parents of the hundreds of thousands of tons that have been fished out of the rivers, sloughs and bays of California to feed the multitudes. proved by consultation with any practical fish culturist. They know that at the time when the little fish loses his egg sack, when his gills begin to form, and when he first starts to eat, a parisitic growth commences around his head and on his little gills. The standard remedy is to take a pile of our good red mountain mud, dissolve it at the head of the trough until thlat fish trough is simply a saturated solution. As this water clears out the. little fish arg seen swimming along in a healthy state. The silt has cleared their jittle gills. The only harm that this type of mining visits upon the fisherman is to roil the water so that the fly caster cannot exhibit his art. Thus to that extent at least, this roily water protests the fish. ; Mr. and Mrs. Steve Eden and gon, Donald, and Mrs. Charles Eden spent Sunday at Lake Tahoe.
