DOUGLAS M. THOMPSON is director of the Goodwin-Niering Center for the Environment at Connecticut College.
"[Thompson's] advice is to leave streams alone, to avoid
stream-bank stabilization work, to avoid artificial devices that
alter flows, to ensure stream-banks are vegetated as a buffer
against pollution and thermal pollution."-- "Hartford Courant"
"The Quest for the Golden Trout is about looking at our nation's
rivers with a more critical eye--and asking more questions about
both historic and current practices in fisheries management."--
"Northeastern Naturalist"
[A] strong indictment of historical and modern policies leading to
stream degradation and loss of native fauna solely for quenching
anglers' insatiable thirst for nonnative trout. . . . Valuable for
environmental science students, government employees
developing/implementing aquatic polices, and environmentally
concerned freshwater anglers. . . . Recommended.-- "Choice"
People who love to fish for native trout, and who work to support
sustainable native salmonid fisheries in naturally behaving streams
that have true biodiversity will see Thompson's work as a needed
call-to-arms.-- "The Salter, the quarterly newsletter of the Sea
Run Brook Trout Coalition"
