Weekly Fishing Roundup 6/18/07 AROOSTOOK COUNTY

June 18, 2007 - AROOSTOOK COUNTY

Low flows in area rivers and streams got a needed boost of water from Sunday's thundershowers. This increase in flow should get the trout to move a little. These showers were much needed relief from the continued warm temperatures of last week.

All of the stocking has now been completed in regional waters. Legal size trout have been stocked in East Branch Mattawamkeag River, North Branch Meduxnekeag River, Arnold Brook Lake, Logan Lake, Upper McNally Pond, Conroy Lake, Spaulding Lake, Mud Pond (Linneus), Nickerson Lake, Rockabema Lake,Durepo Lake, Monson Pond, Island Pond (T10R10), Round Mountain Pond, Upper Elbow Pond, Beavertail Pond, Ben Lake and Moccasin Pond. Reports on fishing in these ponds has ranged from excellent to "are you sure the water was stocked"?

Fall fingerling brook trout ponds that have been producing this year include: Echo Lake (Presque Isle), Hanson Brook Lake, Trafton Lake, Hale Pond, Perch Pond, and Silver Lake.

All indications are that fishing in area waters, either standing or flowing, has been very good for brook trout.
