Excerpt from Coarse Fish Culture

This movement has not met with universal approval, for by the ill-advised enthusiasm of some of its advocates a number of trout and bream have been destroyed, and complaints are heard that the fisheries of certain rivers have been injured. The general results, however, have been very beneficial. The black bass will never become the food of the millions, as may be judged from the fact that New York market receives probably less than lbs. Annually; yet hundreds of bodies are now stocked with them in sufficient numbers to afl'ord pleasant sport and considerable quantities of excellent food. Valued as the brook-trout is for its game qualities,' writes Mr. Kalloch widely distributed as it is, and much extolled in song as it has been, the black bass has a wider range, and being common to both cold and warm waters, and to northern and southern climes, seems destined to become the leading game fish of America, and to take the place of the wild brook-trout, which vanishes like the aborigines before civiliza tion and, settlements.
