Anglers Prefer Dream Catches Over Invasive Fish that Threaten Maine Lakes
April 28th, 2011 categories: Belgrade Lakes Region
Fishing in the Belgrade Lakes Region of Maine
Joseph Dembeck, Fisheries Management Supervisor at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW), spoke at the 2011 Milfoil Summit about the severity of invasive fish in Maine.
Invasive fish species are fish NOT native to Maine. Illegal introductions of any fish species is the largest threat to Maine’s fish population and cause irreversible changes to entire aquatic ecosystems. Strategies to eliminate or control invasive fish are difficult to design and implement, costly, and are only effective in limited situations.
Since 2006, “there have been 71 illegal introductions of fish species reported–most confirmed, and some unconfirmed but most likely probable,” Joe told the group gathered at the USM-Lewiston/Auburn campus. Three leaders in this group are largemouth bass, northern pike and smallmouth bass.
He further explained that invasives prey upon existing fish species, compete with them for food and habitat, expand upstream and downstream from where they were introduced, and transmit diseases.
Joe described the following reasons for people to move fish around:
Angler’s Desire–increased fishing opportunity
Reduce Travel–want to bring fish species existing elsewhere
Fatter Fish–increase forage available for existing fish population
License PhD–resident and non-resident, licensed anglers know what’s right for water body or right for the species
Bait Dealer’s Secret Water–find water no one knows about
Purposeful Harm–mad at someone on the lake or at MDIFW
Through educating the public including anglers, children, bait dealers and private pond owners, the MDIFW staff is working to control and prevent further illegal introductions. The transfer or stocking of any fish species without MDIFW approval is illegal. According to Joe, “If you encounter an unknown fish species, retain it and get it to a biologist. Take pictures and GPS coordinates.”
When the MDIFW staff is told of a fish, they first must confirm the identification to make sure it is not misidentified. Then they look at where it can move to, where they can potentially contain it, what treatment options are available, what options can be implemented and how to monitor the body of water following the treatment. Part of their work involves deciding whether to limit the ability of the fish species to colonize the watershed or limit its ability to reproduce.
The good news, according to Joe, is that Maine doesn’t have the problem to the scale and scope that most other states have.

12th Annual Maine Milfoil Summit in Lewiston, Maine
April 21st, 2011 categories: Sebago Lakes Region
Self-inspect your boat before launching
“Of Maine’s 6,000 lakes and ponds, only 33 are infected with invasive aquatic plants,” Maine DEP Commissioner Darryl Brown informed the crowd gathered at the 2011 Milfoil Summit held on the grounds of the University of Southern Maine’s Lewiston-Auburn campus. Mr. Brown compared this number to our New England neighbors, some of whom have upwards of 600 infested water bodies. He said that those other states look to Maine for leadership in this fight against invasive aquatic plants.
Invasives, explained Mr. Brown, is not just an environmental issue. “ . . .infestations hijack the habitat of native fisheries and wildlife by threatening their food sources, altering their covers, destroying nesting opportunity and degrading water quality; Maine’s lakes are a critical recreation resource and invasives threaten that by reducing the quality of our waterways and the ability to access and enjoy them from fishing to boating and many uses in between; values of lakefront property and local businesses can take a huge hit if a lake becomes infested.” He assured those gathered that the Maine DEP is committed to keeping the number of infested lakes low.
The DEP provides grants to local lake associations for prevention programs such as using benthic barriers to smother plants, purchasing Diver Assisted Suction Harvesters (essentially a pontoon boat and pump that provides suction for the “plant vacuum” and air supply for divers) and hiring Courtesy Boat Inspectors (CBI). A single boat inspector can avert tens of thousands of dollars of plant management with a careful inspection of a boat, trailer and related equipment. In 2010, 73,000 inspections occurred at 154 launch sites on 119 waterbodies in Maine. The CBIs intercepted more than 2,000 plants, 281 of which were invasive aquatics. It was noted that while the awareness of invasives is high, only about 20% of boat operators self-inspect their boats.
The 2011 Milfoil Summit brought together the key players from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife , the Maine Department of Conservation, Lakes Environmental Association (LEA), the Maine Volunteer Lake Monitoring Program, and the Maine Congress of Lake Associations. The event was organized once again by LEA of Bridgton.
During the summit, Elizabeth Schran of the Maine Milfoil Consortium, explained the status of a three-year plan to address existing Variable-Leaf Milfoil infestations through research, mitigation and education. In its second year, two apprentice ponds were added to the list of seven test lakes. The two ponds are Collins Pond in Windham and Hogan Pond in Oxford. The seven test lakes include Sebago Lake and Little Sebago Lake in Cumberland County, Messalonskee Lake and Pleasant Pond in Kennebec County, Shagg Pond / Lake Christopher and Thompson Lake in Oxford County, and Lake Arrowhead in York County. The Consortium distributes funds and provides training and technical assistance to lake associations. The work on these ponds and lakes will ultimately benefit all water bodies in the state as they figure out how to deal with Variable-Leaf Milfoil and develop a Citizen Manager’s Guide of Best Practices. To learn more about the Maine Milfoil Consortium, email milfoil@sjcme.edu, call 207.632.3472 or visit the Web site at http://dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/mainemilfoilinitiative.
At the end of the day, there was a glimmer of hope on the horizon as it was noted that Pleasant Lake in Casco is a Milfoil eradication success story. Lew Wetzel of the Pleasant Lake Association stood to tell the story about a committed group of folks who used benthic barriers (ground mats), hand removal and screens at an inlet/outlet between the lakes to fight an infestation of Variable-Leaf Milfoil. After three years of not finding any plants, the DEP removed Pleasant Lake from the list of infested lakes. This is the second body of water that was removed from the Maine list. Great East Lake was removed in 2007.
The best way to fight the war against Variable-Leaf Milfoil and all invasive aquatics is PREVENTION. Check your boat, trailer and equipment before launching and after you’ve pulled it out of the water. And help support your local lake association. Those with infestations on their lakes are working to eradicate the problem, and those with no infestations are working to keep it that way. We all need to work together to protect and preserve our beautiful lakes and ponds.

Stearns and Keyes Ponds, Sweden, Maine: Off the Beaten Path
April 14th, 2011 categories: Sebago Lakes Region
Sunset on pristine Stearns Pond
Stearns Pond in Sweden, Maine, is deep, beautiful and pristine. The village of Sweden is tucked into the rolling hills between Lovell, Bridgton and Waterford. It’s only a short distance from any where, but feels like another world. Located 3 1/2 hours from Boston, Stearns Pond is 1 1/2 hours northwest of Portland. With a surface area of 248 acres, it has a maximum depth of 48 feet and a mean depth of 27 feet.
Fisherman delight in this small pond that offers coldwater and warmwater fisheries. About 250 12-inch brown trout are stocked by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife each fall. An abundant rainbow smelt population, smallmouth and largemouth bass, white perch and chain pickerel are among the fine catches here. A town-owned boat launch for canoes and small boats is located on Wint Road, off of North Bridgton Road.
Camp Encore/Coda, a residential music camp for boys and girls, is located among the pines on the eastern shore of Stearns Pond. Since 1950 the Saltman family has owned and operated this 80-acre camp. It’s known for its diverse types of music including jazz and rock. Campers participate in chamber music, orchestra, private lessons and vocal groups, while also enjoying waterfront sports and all the other typical camp activities. Sometimes while you are on the pond you’ll be treated to the sweet sound of live music wafting through the air.
Just a few miles away near the center of Sweden is Keyes Pond. Keyes rhymes with “eyes.” The pond covers a surface area of 191 acres and has a maximum depth of 42 feet with a mean depth of 17 feet. The Lakes Environmental Association also tests water samples from Keyes and has determined that the water quality is above average.
Keyes Pond was named for Solomon Keyes, who was part of Colonel Lovewell’s infamous 1725 expedition in the area. According to local lore, Solomon swam across the pond to escape harm during a violent encounter with the native people of the region.
A public boat launch is over a private roadway off Perry Hill Road. Access is for carry-in boats only.
Set on 200 acres overlooking Keyes is Camp Tapawingo, a residential girls camp founded in 1919. The camp has the only power boat on the lake. The camp is owned and directed by Jane Lichtman.
The woodland setting of both of these small ponds is perfect for quiet vacations or year-round living. Classic back-to-basic cottages and cabins are nestled among the pines in these off the beaten path locations. If you are looking to slow down and enjoy life the way it’s meant to be, take a look at lakefront property in Sweden.
