grayling

Fish in the news! The NY Times has a story about grayling in Montana suffering from warming stream water. Up here, these are beautiful fish, and dumb enough, or naive enough to humans, that you can catch them with dental floss, a hook, and a bit of tin foil -- or so I hear. I've caught them with lures, but I won't tell you which ones.
Oh, and Deborah Williams, head of Alaska Conservation Solutions, had a column in the ADN calling for passage of the renewable energy bill, HB 152, and SB 289, which helps implement the weatherization and energy efficiency programs already funded in a budget bill.
On another note, it looks increasingly like the Legislature isn't going to do anything this year with the recommendations of the AK Climate Impact Assessment Commission. The session's only 90 days, and there are less than two weeks left.
