| Location Details: | Alford Lake is a typial coastal Maine ,ligotrophic.lake with sufficient cold water to upportcoldwatersport fish but occasionally Ixperiences low dissolved oxygen in the deepest ,art of the lake. Annual stockings of trout are .ecessary to maintain these fisheries because pawning and nursery habitat is lacking. Management of coldwater fish has shifted any times over the years from landlocked salmon o brown trout. When splake became available hrough the Department's hatchery system an Kperimental program began. Splake stockings Jntinued for 4 years, but because they did not Jt perform brown trout the stockings were lscontinued. Currently, brown trout are stockedannually along with spring-yearling brook trout. The brown trout are surviving to older ages to provide larger fish while brook trout provide 'faster' fishing. A free public boat launch facility is located on the west shore of Alford Lake, but a nominal fee is charged for parking a vehicle at the local fish and game club. |
