Maine NFC Opposes Proposed Stocking on Haymock Lake...

Stocking hatchery lake trout over self-sustaining native lake trout in a high quality wild native brook trout water that is just five years away from State Heritage Fish designation in an attempt to protect nonnative lake whitefish that are stressed due to an introduced nonnative species (rainbow smelt) is contrary to IFW’s stated goal to conserve native fish species.
