WARNING: There is some evidence of Walleye and Northern Pike in Mascoma Lake. There will be very few of these invasive fish and it is hoped no natural spawning will occur. If they were to become established, we could potentially see a collapse of the smelt population. This would have a catastrophic effect through the trophic levels and could cause fish die-offs across most of the list. Any angler who can correctly identify a Northern Pike vs a Pickerel should kill the Pike immediately and do the same with a Walleye.
