Channel 5 Brook Trout Report Cites UMaine Angler Research
In a report on brook trout fishing in Maine, Channel 5 (WABI) reported that, according to a University of Maine School of Economics book trout study from 1991, nearly 90 percent of people who fish in the state prefer to fish for brook trout above any other type of fish. The report was based on a Portland Press Herald article on threats to brook trout from non-native invasive fish being stocked illegally in ponds, lakes and rivers. Portland-based WGAN radio news also aired a brief report.
