330 NATURE MAGAZINE FOR MAY 193 I HOMEWARD BOUND The "bacon" is a 44 pound channel bass, enough for several meals even the tropical blanquillo occurs. Those denizens of the streams, lakes and ponds of the higher interior are considerably different from Ik the species inhabiting '• afl the more sluggish waters of the coastal plain. New e-left ments enter, also, for on the western slopes ^^fcft£ of the Blue Ridge is an infusion of the Mississippi Valley forms; but these elements affect only North Carolina, as all South Carolina rivers flow into the Atlantic. In the coastal plain appears a distinctly lowland fauna, characterized among the fishes by such varieties as the lowland darter, the pygmy perch, and the ditch fish, which is the only living open-stream relative of the blind fishes of the famous Mammoth Cave and other limestone caverns of the central states. There are also present the star-headed minnow, the top minnows, those little viviparous fishes which are the most efficient natural enemies of mosquitoes, the black-banded catfish, known only from North Carolina, and locally called "penitentiary cat" from its markings, the primitive and destructive gar, the grindle (or bowfin), a species of great scientific interest, because of its close relation to primitive types, the black-banded sun-perch, and many other widely distributed forms. The most important fish of this region is probably the large-mouthed black bass, the best game fish of the freshwaters of the two states. Its only rivals, the larger sun-perches or breams, the speckled perch, the larger catfishes, and the suckers, cannot hope to equal it in popularity. Only the coastal plain can boast of natural lakes and lake fish. All those in the piedmont and mountain regions are artificial, but are usually well stocked. The piedmont region of the two states differs from the Low Country in having a wider variety of suckers and shiners, and a decided lack of most of the more strictly lowland fishes, although some of these range much farther up-country in South Carolina than in her more northern sister state. The large-mouth black bass is the most important game fish here as it is along the coast. The mountains are distinguished on their eastern FISHERMAN'S LUCK H H BmMLEr Comparing a six pound striped bass with a four pound black bass WHERE FISH GET LARGE slopes in both states by the replacement by the brook trout of the black bass as the chief quest of the angler. The rainbow and brown trouts also have been introduced during the past few years, and are favorites of the fisherman. Together with an increasing number of species of darters, those tiny perch-like fishes that are so fond of swift pebbly streams, the trout are the principal denizens of the fast-running waterways. The brook trout is at the southern extreme of range in the Carolinas and is therefore found only at the higher elevations where the mountain streams are very cold and run small in size, and usually contain comparatively small fish. Thus it is usually quite small in the Southern Appalachians and cannot compare with the giant race taken in the Rangeley Lakes and other northern waters. On the western slopes in the Mississippi drainage the same variety of forms exist, and these are supplemented by such species as the paddlefish with its long spatula- shaped snout, the Ohio muskallunge, the rock bass, the little miller's thumb, and others. The three trout, two introduced and the other native, are still the most important game varieties. Not all of the fishes of salt water, coast, piedmont and mountain are, of course, sought by the eager fisherman. The king of fishes from his viewpoint is the large and gamy channel bass, which is also known locally as the red drum, and farther south as the redfish. Surf-casting for this species is carried on all along the shore line of the two states, mainly near the numerous coastal inlets. Many specimens of above forty pounds weight are caught each season. In 1930 the largest reported was a fifty-eight pounder, taken at Brown's Inlet, North Catolina. Bluefish, cero, Spanish mackerel, gray trout (weak- fish), sea mullets (the "king- fish" of the northern coast), croakers, flounders, sheeps- head, spots, and a host of others are also sought by the angler. Bluefish, cero, and Spanish mackerel are usually taken by trolling, and offer rare thrills. A few tarpon have (Continued on page 339) This giant sunfish, weighing 1200 pounds, was taken near Swansboro, North Carolina

Description

Several articles on the Carolinas appear in this 1931 issue of Nature Magazine. The magazine was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
