Oh goodness! I meant the GEESE are tasty, not than the chain pickerel! No,
no, no! Perhaps the pickerel are tasty, too, but you'll not likely ever hear
me say anything positive with regards to that species. I am dismayed by the
introduction of chain pickerel to our lakes. The small mouthed bass and
chain pickerel are altering our fresh water ecosystems in profound ways. I
am told we can expect nearly "silent springs" as they voraciously consume
our frogs and toads on the lake edges. They are about to spread to the last
wild places remaining. It's sad, very sad. We shall mourn the trout and
remnant salmon populations.

The taste and angling value of the pickerel is high... However its
introduction into watershed has been disasterous.
Back in 1949 Dan Livingstone sampled lakes and rivers in Nova Scotia, coming
up with the first comprehensive list of freshwater fish for the province.
John Gilhen and I were joined by him 50 years later and we re-sampled many
of the same bodies of water. Where the chain pickerel had been introduced,
or spread to, the diversity of fish went from 7-11 species to 2-3..
independent of water chemistry, geology or any other measurable factor

I wish more Nova Scotians appreciated pickerel. The Vietnamese gang down
Yarmouth way turns this ugly-looking critter into various dishes, all
infinitely more interesting than haddock!

That's a hilarious (well sort of) tale of the widowed urban goose. She
likely few back to Toronto?
I'm with Lance and the Cape Bretoners. This expanding species is quite
delicious baked in orange juice, wild rice and cranberries, etc. Now if
only I could acquire a taste for glossy buckthorn salad.

* ...on our 2002 James Bay Expedition - http://pinicola.ca/g2003b.htm - we
found a very tame single Canada Goose at a boatlunch ramp way north in
Quebec - and the sad story we told was that she'd mated with a northern
Quebec male during the winter, had followed him north, and he'd been taken
out by the spring Goose hunt, leaving her an urban widow in the wilderness.
