A MESSAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT As Commissioner of the Department I would like to thank you for purchasing a fi shing license, and choosing Maine as your place to fi sh. If you haven’t purchased your license yet, they may be conveniently obtained at one of our many license agents or online at www.maine.gov/ifw. There is nothing quite like fi shing on that fi rst real warm spring day. The upcoming fi shing season has fantastic opportunities for everyone. Every county in the state has extended fi shing seasons, and on some bodies of water, you can fi sh, weather permitting, right through the end of December. Maine is rapidly becoming known as the destination for anglers, with unparalleled fi shing for species such as bass and trout. Recently, Maine was recognized as the destination for brook trout in the Eastern United States by the Eastern Brook Trout Venture, a consortium of government agencies and conservation groups. In fact, Maine was singled out as the stronghold for brook trout in the United States. Maine has nearly 600 wild or native brook trout waters, and another 700 waterways that are stocked annually. Please remember that regulations and state law prohibit the unauthorized introduction of any fi sh and plants into maine’s waters. Illegal stocking or careless transportation of aquatic plants is very harmful to the fi sh and aquatic environment in any body of water and it’s also illegal. We continue to work towards simplifying fi shing regulations. Of course, we tailor laws to many individual waters, not only to preserve a resource, but also to enhance it. Some waters we manage for trophy size fi sh, while on another waters, we may want to increase the number of fi sh an angler may catch in a day. The department works with anglers in hopes of improving fi shing throughout the state. Over the past ten years, many anglers have told us that the fi shing in Maine has improved. We want to make sure that we continue in that direction, but we do need your help. While on the water, or perhaps at an access site, you may encounter a biologist or notice a survey box. Please take some time to give us feedback on the water you are fi shing. Contact this department if you are interested in keeping a season long summary of your fi shing trips. You can also go online and submit your data at www.triptracks.com. This input helps guide the management of many of Maine’s favorite fi shing waters, so I hope you take the time to let us know what you have caught and how many hours you have spent enjoying Maine while fi shing. A remider from the Maine Warden Service - please wear a life jacket! Unfortunately during every open water fi shing season tragedies occur. The most common cause of such tragedy is an unexpected cold-water immersion without a lifejacket. Even if the weater is warm, the water is often cold. Don’t take a chance. Enjoy your license. Maine is a wonderful state in which to spend time outdoors. I encourage you to contact your local game warden for answers to your questions about fi shing in your area - from laws to conditions to good spots to go, a warden is there to help you out. I wish you many safe and enjoyable fi shing trips this year. Thank you. Roland D. Martin, Commissioner COMMENTS & COMPLAINTS — If you wish to make a comment about any member of the Department, please come to or call the closest offi ce and talk to the appropriate staff member.

    Fishery Interim Process Report Series No. 06-06 C Pond Smallmouth Bass Investigations By David P. Boucher Caring for Maine's Outdoor Future December, 2006 Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Division of Fisheries & Wildlife FISHERY INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT SERIES NO. 06-6 C POND SMALLMOUTH BASS INVESTIGATIONS BY DAVID P. BOUCHER MAINE DEPARTMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE DIVISION OF FISHERIES AND HATCHERIES AUGUSTA, MAINE DECEMBER 2006 JOB F-201 INTERIM PROGRESS REPORT No. 1 (2006) C POND SMALLMOUTH BASS INVESTIGATIONS SUMMARY C Pond has a surface area of 173 acres and is located in C Surplus Township in north central Oxford County, Maine. C Pond's outlet fonns the Dead Cambridge River, which flows 7.8 miles to Umbagog Lake, the lowennost water body of the Rangeley Chain of Lakes. C Pond remains homothennous during the summer months, but brook trout nonetheless thrive and provide an excellent early-season sport fishery. Local anglers first reported the presence of smallmouth bass in C Pond in 2001 . That same year, Department biologists conducted fish surveys but did not confirm the presence of bass. Additional reports of bass were received in 2002 and 2005. Trapnet and scuba surveys conducted in 2005 confirmed the presence of small numbers of adult and juvenile bass. Bass most likely migrated upstream from Umbagog Lake where they were illegally introduced during the mid-1980s. The presence of smallmouth bass in C Pond could severely impact the pond's wild brook trout population. · The 2005 surveys suggested that smallmouth bass had not yet become well established in C Pond, probably because numbers of adult spawners remained very low, juvenile habitat was limiting, and large populations of bullheads and cyprinids suppressed the recruitment of young bass.

More than two • Cacso Bay Coast dozen rare plant species inhabit the area’s diverse natural communities. Numerous imperiled species of animals have been documented in the Focus Area, and it contains some of the state’s best habitat for bald eagles. OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONSERVATION » Work with willing landowners to permanently protect remaining undeveloped areas. » Encourage town planners to improve approaches to development that may impact Focus Area functions. » Educate recreational users about the ecological and economic benefits provided by the Focus Area. » Monitor invasive plants to detect problems early. » Find ways to mitigate past and future contamination of the watershed.

Providing public access to these bodies of water is extremely impor- tant to us because we want both residents and visitors alike to enjoy them to the fullest. The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife works diligently to provide access to Maine’s waters, whether it’s a remote mountain pond, or Maine’s Casco Bay. How you conduct yourself on Maine’s waters will go a long way in de- termining whether new access points can be obtained since only a fraction of our waters have dedicated public access.

    SEBASTICOOK LAKE TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY (ANNUAL) LOAD Final Report DEPLW 2000 - 110 Maine Department of Environmental Protection 8 February 2001 Maine Lake TMDLs - What, Why, Where, and When? You are no doubt wondering what the acronym 'TMDL' represents and what it is all about. TMDL is actually short for 'Total Maximum Daily Load.' This acknowledgment probably does little to clarify TMDLs in most people's minds. However, replace 'daily' with 'annual' and insert 'phosphorus' before 'load' and it may begin to make more sense to more people. Simply stated, excess nutrients (such as phosphorus) in lakes promote nuisance algae growth/blooms - resulting in the violation of water quality standards. A TMDL is prepared to estimate the total amount of dissolved phosphorus that a lake can accept (annually) without harming water quality. Historically, development of TMDLs was first mandated by the Clean Water Act in 1972 - and was applied primarily to point sources of water pollution. As a result of public pressure to further clean-up water bodies - lake and stream TMDLs are now being prepared for Non-Point Sources (NPS) of water pollution. Nutrient enrichment of lakes through excess total phosphorus originating from watershed soil erosion has been generally recognized as the primary source of NPS pollution. Major land use activities contributing to the phosphorus load in lakes include residential-commercial developments, agriculture, roadways, and commercial forestry. Statewide, there are approximately 35 lakes which do not meet water quality standards due to excessive amounts of total phosphorus. The first Maine lake TMDL was developed (1995) for Cobbossee Lake by the Cobbossee Watershed District (CWD) - under contract with ME-DEP and US-EPA.
