Reactions to my article titled “Ghost Fish” that ran in the March / April edition of American Angler magazine have been coming in – and they are quite favorable. The restoration and rehabilitation of the Big Hole River arctic grayling has been a controversial topic for several decades and tensions continue to grow as the population of this native fish dwindles.
Richard Storey, Chancellor at the University of Montana Western in Dillon was published in American Angler’s reader mail this past month. He says “The article titled “Ghost Fish” by Jessica McGlothlin in your March / April issue was an excellent account of the attempt to save the arctic grayling of the upper Big Hole.” Mr. Storey continued on to discuss the University of Montana Western’s research into the matter. A group of undergraduates under the command of Professor Rob Thomas have been working on an ongoing study of the grayling. The group has drafted several analytic studies about the collaboration between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the local ranchers to save the species.
Thank you for the feedback, Chancellor Storey. And many thanks to all who helped to make this article possible – especially the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and Mr. Harold Peterson of Wisdom, Montana. I very much look forward to seeing what the future holds for the Big Hole arctic grayling.
