May 6th, 2010 Posted in LAKE INFO

STOCKING OF ALWIVES is complete for 2010. The final count is 9600, just short of the 10,000 that was planned. A DMR representative will be at the meeting Friday night June 25th.

STOCKING OF ALWIVES IN TOGUS POND STARTS TODAY. MAY 16th 2010

A group of interested neighbors watch the first 1300 Alwives  being stocked in Togus Pond. The process started four years ago with meetings and research. WLA then had to ask to be considered for this program. We hope alwives will over time reduce the growth of alge in the pond. This is a multi year program with returns hopefully showing up in four years.

May 26th 2010  DMR introduced 3000 more alwives into Togus Pond. The total so far now stands at 4300.

Alwives are pooling at the Webber Pond Dam. Harvesting and runs will happen for the next two weeks or more. depends on the weather. Best time to watch is sunny days when the sun is high in the sky. Lots of work on the fish ladder and boat landing has made a great improvement.

The Damariscotta Mills Alwive site is greatly improved with construction of a natural rock pool being worked on. This is a many year project that is very impressive.
