Comments on: The importance of fish http://chazylakekings.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/the-importance-of-fish/ The lives and relationships of the King (Roy) families who settled at Chazy Lake and nearby communities Thu, 09 Jul 2009 15:21:16 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: cleadslinger32 http://chazylakekings.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/the-importance-of-fish/#comment-13 cleadslinger32 Mon, 19 May 2008 20:57:19 +0000 http://chazylakekings.wordpress.com/?p=30#comment-13 About 1950 I was browsing the library at PSTC which I was attending at that time. There I ran across a small book or pamphlet that dealt with fishing in Chazy Lake. This was put out by the NYS Fisheries Department. It concerned the demise of frostfish (round whitefish) in the lake. The disappearance of the fish occurred about the time of the construction and shoreline flooding of the concrete dam. Several unsuccessful attempts were made by the state to reintroduce this fish. They determined that the fish died as the result of a gill disease. I spent a quarter of a century fishing that lake and never saw one of my dad's favorite fish, the frostfish. For the most part these fish were caught by netting at about the time of the first fall frost, hence the name. About 1950 I was browsing the library at PSTC which I was attending at that time.
