Brook trout
The stocking of fish is
administered by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. The
purpose of stocking is two-fold: to create self-sustaining populations of
native fish and to improve
recreational angling
opportunities. Salmonids, which include brook trout and landlocked salmon,
prefer cold waters associated with deeper depths and may be struggling as a
result of the low levels of
dissolved oxygen found at
these depths in Long Pond North. The DO levels in the lake will be discussed
later in the presentation.
