Hi Paul & All,
    The waterways I have in mind are all mountain streams; Sharp Brook =
from the base of the mountain up to near the top (site of an old water =
mill), Ross Creek, Canada Creek and several other similar streams which =
I visited at times without consulting a map. These have gravel or stony =
bottoms, woodland near the waterways, shallow in most sections and in =
unusually dry weather much water flow if any is within the gravel; dry =
at surface. Stream insects probably cling to rocks or live mostly in =
voids within the gravel bottom. So siltation is a serious blow to both =
insects and Trout. None of these had to be folded to fit into a frying =
pan but at one time they were reliably numerous.
   =20
    The Cornwallis River is a very different watercourse in most =
respects; spring fed from a wide valley plus inflow from many streams, =
water in some wide portions where cattle have broken the banks can be =
low in very dry weather but not in the better streaches where the river =
is narrow and deep with steep banks. Siltation can not be a problem =
because the waterway fauna is adapted to silty water and does not need =
chinks between rocks to survive dry periods. Much of the watershed on =
the valley floor is limed farmland so the river is relatively immune to =
acid rain effects. Of five water samples taken from the Cornwallis in =
1954 during the summer and fall of 1954 (Master's Thesis) the minimum pH =
was 6.5 and by late Sept. had increased to 8.0. I vaguely recall also =
the the matrix of (or leachate from ?) our Triassic Sandstone is =
slightly alkaline.
   =20
    Other waterways that for years were a long walk in had good fishing =
which suddenly became poor after they were readily reached by driving.=20
Once again no Bass; just fishing pressure which exceeded productivity.

Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

            Over the last 65 years just about all of the formerly highly =
productive Trout streams in Kings County have become dead water.=20
            Streamflow instability, siltation from careless highway =
widening, erosion from extensive clearcuts or cultivated land, abnormal =
nutrient influx and acid rain are probable contributing factors, =
depending upon the settiing and there may be other unsuspected causes =
but in the complete absence of Bass, now or previously, they are =
excluded.=20
            If this kind of disaster can happen in the absence of Bass =
it could be rushing to judgment to blame Bass where they are present. =
They are tolerant of warm, sluggish water (low O2 I suspect) so would be =
expected to survive where Trout do not.=20
            I don't know Lake Egmont but I notice there are roads along =
three sides and one of these is just along the eastern side. The =
topography suggests water fed in from swamp brooks as opposed to spring =
fed so I wonder how ir fares in dry periods.=20
            When we first had a cottage at Sunken Lake in 1971 the walls =
and windows were shingled with swarms of insects when lights were on at =
night and the shallows in season had mob of Penny Toads and schools of =
Minnows. By 1995 insects, Toads and Minnows were very sparse.=20
            In all questions it is far better to iterate to the truth =
than to identify a possibly innocent culprit.=20

            <DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the reputation of =
Small-mouth Bass=20
            has been sullied by zenophobia; introduced and therefore =
bad. I=20
            asked on Naturens shortly after I joined, for proof that =
they were=20
            harmful and received only fluff. </DIV>
            <DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They flourish where Trout can not =
survive,=20
            are fun to catch and, when skinned and filletted, are good =
eating. I=20
            have never encountered Bass in likely Trout water. In =
marginal water=20
            large Bass may eat small Trout but I would suppose that =
large Trout=20
            would do likewise. </DIV>
