Presentation Details:
The Brook Trout of Trout Brook
In 2023, the Massachusetts chapter of Native Fish Coalition (NFC) initiated a project to assess the condition of Trout Brook in Dover. Trout Brook is a coldwater ecosystem with a rare-to-the-area self-sustaining population of native brook trout. The impetus behind the project was a 2021 report from MassWildlife where electro-fishing had failed to confirm the presence of wild brook trout for the first time since the 1960’s. After 2 seasons of extensive analysis, NFC concluded that brook trout are remnant at best and possibly extirpated in Trout Brook. Equally concerning is that the stream is no longer functioning as a coldwater system.
NFC will be presenting their findings along with recommendations in regard to improving the situation and ideally restoring wild native brook trout to Brook Trout and other parts of the Charles River.
