The journey home begins at the mouth of Lake Michigan in Grand Haven, then continues along towns with names like Eastmanville and Grandville. Finally, after about 40 miles "over several days, they arrive in "Michigan's second-largecity, I and under bridges passing I between boulders, hardly distracted by the chaotic pulse of ; downtown.

Incredibly, some fish may swim the Grand River for 150 miles, from Lake Michigan all the way to Lansing. "They go by sense of smell. The smell of the home stream is imprinted in them," explains River in Grand Rapids, Mich. There is noth- ing scenic about the setting, no deer paus- ing for a drink, no gliding herons, certainly Amy Hilt, a state fisheries biologist. Though there are ladders and dams all the .way up the river, she says. Grand Rapids' Sixth Street Dam "is the first one of any significant size." When the fish hit the dam, they often try to leap over it. Every few minutes, fish break the Spain considers TV regulation By GARY ABRAMSON A boy turns ; MADRID, Spain into a basketball dynamo each time he rips off girls' underwear. Two girls tell their baby sitter their mother is a prostitute, and describe in detail the services she offers. '. These kind of television from a morning carepisodes sittoon show and a prime-tim- e have prompted Spain's com new conservative government to consider imposing limits on what can be broadcast. ; Disclosed in a leak last week, the proposed crackdown was immediately denounced by the news media as an attempt to take Spain back down the road to press censorship. But Miguel Angel Rodriguez, spokesman for Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and the brains behind the effort, said consultants he is leading are merely examining whether an independent commission or another body should regulate sex, violence and racism on TV, or whether lesser steps should be taken. The European Union was to examine the same issues Wednesday at a meeting in Brussels, said Jose Vidal. an adviser to the EU. There is a grow ing concern among the 15 EU member countries about excesses on TV and other media. Vidal said. In Spain, Rodriguez's effort has been colored by the nation's recent history. Even the hint of censorship is political dynamite in Spain, where newspapers, TV and radio were muzzled under the 1939-197- 5 dictatorship of Gen. Francis- - "This is not a 'press muzzle' law. That can't be done in any civilized country." Miguel Angel Rodriguez, spokesman co Franco. El Pais, the nation's largest daily, called Rodriguez's move "a mix of politically correct pap and interference, in the style of the old regime." Rodriguez, who was a journalist before going to work for Aznar's Popular Party, denied the government warns to regulate news coverage. "This is not a 'press muzzle' law. That can't be done in any civilized country." Rodriguez told reporters. Some Spaniards also feel there is little to prevent TV networks from going too far. "We have found it is nearly impossible to act against a TV network unless it commits a genuine outrage, such as child pornography," said Jose Luis Calvo, president of the Association for Defense of Children. Calvo's group tried to force cancellation of the series "Baby Sitters," in part because of the prostitution episode, by suing the show's broadcaster, the private Antena 3 network. The suit was dismissed. Pedro Jose Ardaiz, a senator from the opposition Socialist party, said the issue of what is and what is not appropriate on TV goes beyond party lines. "Certain rights of children are not being respected." Ardaiz said. He cited as an example a tabloid TV program in which a child was questioned about his parent's rocky marriage. Last year, Ardaiz was a member of a Senate commission that recommended creation of an ombudsman's office to monitor TV content, similar to independent commissions in France, Germany and Italy. The bill never went to the full Senate. Rodriguez says the bill he is trying to formulate will come only after consultation with teachc s, psychologists, television monitoring groups and others. It is expected to be ready for presentation to Parliament in about a year. intruders suspected N.

The river is shallow, but cold and dangerously deceptive. Most fishermen wear waders from shoulder to toe and special boots w ith felt bottoms or small spikes. The rocks are slippery, and the swift current is unforgiving. The fish do not willingly sur render. Hooking one is an accom- plishment, followed by the tough task of pulling it from the water. "They're smarter than we are," says Roy Phillips, pausing for more line, another hook and fresh bait. "They have the river, the current, the rocks. They utilize it all.
