An interesting article in today's Times about a trout
fishery lost to big bass.

The Rapid River in Maine is now battling with smallmouths, illegally
introduced to a down-stream lake 20 years ago.

Now, it seems, someone has introduced smallmouths to the up-stream
lake from Lake Richardson, Mooselukmakuntic. Two females were found
there in July of this year. Of all the fishing in Maine, there is
more bass fishing than anything else. For a bass fisherman to
introduce this species to a brook trout lake and river system is
eco-terrorism, and if caught, they should go to jail for many years.

I suspect that some idiot will introduce northern pike to these
waters, thinking he is doing some good.
