There has been some debate over where squirrel fishing originated. The practice was popularized either by Nikolas Gloy and Yasuhiro Endo, at the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University, by Nicholas Middleton and Zmira Zilkha during their summer tenure at Middlebury College in Vermont, or by the Berkeley Squirrel Fisher's Club (BSF), an official student group at the University of California at Berkeley.Fact|date=July 2008 BSF has been featured in the campus newspaper.
