Inland Fisheries and Wildlife stocks 5000 salmon in the Moosehead Lake each year. The fish are about 12 inches long when stocked and all the fish have been marked by a clipped fin.
A record of the fins that have been clipped each year are shown on the page from IF&W included in this information.
If you wish to help IF&W with their lake management, you may want to keep a fishing record book to record your fishing effort and success. Several of our MLFC members do keep books and it would be helpful if additional people did as well. If you would be willing to keep a record book, please contact Stephen Seeback online at Stephen.Seeback@maine.gov
