The Brook Trout of Trout Brook
About this event
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.
