This piece is on the artic grayling fish that once filled the Au Sable and Manistee rivers until over zealous fishermen caused them to be extinct. As the story goes, overeager fishermen had caught over 2000 of these beautiful and tasty fish as a way to measure their fishing ability and just left them there to rot on the river bank. It finally to an act of legislation in 1871, to outlaw the use of gill nets to protect the grayling and trout.
