Cooper a Biological Survey of the Rangeley Lakes.Pdf MAINE DEPARTMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES AND GAME Fish Survey Report No.3 A Biological Survey of the Rangeley Lakes, with Special Reference to the Trout and Salmon BY GERALD P. COOPER A.~8istant Professor of Zoology, Univm'sity of Maine TO MAIN],; DEPARTMENT OF INLAND FISHERIES AND GAME George .J. Stobie, Commissioner Archer L. Grover, Deputy Commissioner Published by The Augusta Press, Augusta November 7, 1940 ANNOUNCEMENT This is the third of a proposed series of reports on biological sur• veys of fresh ,vaters of Maine. These surveys are being conducted by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Game in cooper• ation with the Zoology Department of the University of Maine. The first two reports, published in 1939, dealt with streams, ponds . and lakes in the extreme southwestern part of the state, in York County and parts of Cumberland and Oxford counties. The present report deals with a survey of the six large lakes of the Rangeley region collectively known as the Rangeley Lakes. Umbagog Lake, about two-thirds of which is in New Hampshire, is not included. These six large Jakes in the Rangeley chain in western Maine together with numerous smaller ponds make up the headwaters of the Andro• scoggin River drainage. This river leaves Maine through Umbagog Lake on the border, l<iops southward through New Hampshire and again enters Maine near Rumford. Tlw l)l'('sent survey was made during the summer of 1939. In the annO\lIl(~ement in the second report of the present series (Fish S\II'vey ]teport No.2) it was stated that plans for the 1939 s\ll'vey were to begin the study of the Androscoggin River system at its lower ()nd and to continue on northward. It seemed advisable, how• ever, to begin the study of the Androscoggin system with the Range• ley Jakes tJwmselv()s. The 1\l40 survey will be carried on in the lower and c(mtral parts of the Andros(~oggin and Kennebec river drainages. The two previous reports on lake and stream surveys in Maine were as follows: Fish Survey Report No.1, "A Biological Survey of the Waters of York County and the Southern Part of Cumberland County, Maine," 1!l39; and Fish Survey Report No.2, "A Biologi• cal Survey of Thirty-one Lakes and Ponds of the Upper Saco River and Sebago Lake Drainage Systems in Maine," August, 1939.

These fisheries have been monitored by periodic season-long creel surveys and aerial angler counts since 1981. Growth rates for salmon declined considerably beginning in the late 1990's; brook trout growth also declined during that period but not as dramatically.

    FISHERY INTERIM SUMMARY REPORT SERIES NO. 08-04 RAPID RIVER FISHERY MANAGEMENT By David P. Boucher Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Division of Fisheries and Hatcheries Augusta, Maine December 2008 Job F-014 Interim Summary Report No. 4 (2007) Rapid River Fishery Management SUMMARY The Rapid River, located in Township C and Upton in Oxford County, has long been noted for its outstanding brook trout population. Brook trout in the Rapid River are sustained entirely by natural reproduction and support a popular, heavily utilized sport fishery of regional and statewide significance. Landlocked salmon are also present and provide an important ancillary fishery. During the 1980's, smallmouth bass were illegally introduced into Umbagog Lake, where they became well established and have since migrated to the Rapid River. A clerk creel survey was conducted in 2007 to monitor angler use, catch, and harvest subsequent to changes in fishing regulations and flow regimes, and to monitor the impacts of smallmouth bass. Creel survey data suggested that a decline in brook trout production documented earlier (from 2002 to 2004) was at least partially arrested, and that the vigorous expansion of smallmouth bass numbers slowed or declined by 2007. It's likely that increasingly restrictive fishing regulations, beginning in 2004, were partially responsible for the positive trend. Three consecutive years of unfavorable flows for bass spawning (2005- 2007), and the wet, cool conditions that prevailed during those years, were also important factors. By manipulating flows from Middle Dam, we'll maintain a high level of stress to smallmouth bass during their spawning, incubation, and early recruitment periods, and therefore maintain or improve conditions for trout survival.

    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.
