I went back again Sunday afternoon and saw an osprey with a fish, and today 
I noticed there were a number of men dip- netting.
Gaspereau is the French name for the fish, Kiack is the Indian name I 
believe. I am not certain that Gaspereau is the best name to use - I believe 
there are two kinds of fish included in the school of fish - the English 
Alewives and  a type of herring.  The natives in this area have always used 
the name "Kiack", and I believe that is also true of the people in the 
Yarmouth area.

Roland.
