Trophy Fishing Awaits When You Own Lakefront Property On Little Ossipee Lake, Waterboro, Maine

Fish, like trout and salmon, need the oxygen in the deeper, cooler water  of Maine’s lakes and ponds in order to survive. Too much algae growing in the warmer surface water may prevent that from happening, because bacteria consume dissolved oxygen that fish need to breathe.

“Chop and drop” projects add woody material to improve the physical structure and create deep pools for fish habitat. When shoreland is cleared of trees for human purposes, the lack of shade allows water temperatures to rise. That, along with increased erosion from cleared areas, which adds more silt to the water and covers prime spawning habitat, adversely affects fish life. Adding woody materials not only creates habitat, but it also helps trap sediment from erosion and other forms of pollution. Brook trout thrive in clean, cold water.
Efforts continue across Maine to improve water quality and habitat, which affects not only fish, but all wildlife. Cleaner water will produce higher quality fish, making our lakes, ponds, rivers and streams more attractive to predators, including great blue herons and bald eagles. Fishways and ladders at dams will help restore the anadromous fish species to the watershed. This will also be good for recreational and commercial purposes, including jobs.
