Maine Trout

It's bug season here in Maine. They drove us from the woods a couple of days ago. Deet is no defense.

I had a chance to briefly visit a small stream in southern Maine that had brook trout. Big deal? Well, its great to see streams on private property with water quality that is good enough (clean enough) to house brookies.

Because so many Maine streams, ponds, and lakes house brook trout, there isn't a great deal of concern about them disappearing. But, similar to all of the states I have visited, humans are negatively impacting them through development, acid rain, etc. Over the next month, I am going to try and figure out where and how specifically brook trout are being negatively impacted by people.
