The Fish River chain of lakes is a series of five lakes in the North Maine Woods region of northern Maine, in a tributary stream to the Fish River. [2] The lakes are an important northern Maine recreation area providing habitat for wildlife including rainbow smelt, brook trout, lake trout, and land-locked Atlantic salmon.
The lake is habitat for native brook trout and land-locked Atlantic salmon preying on rainbow smelt, minnows, and suckers.As trout and salmon disappeared from rivers in more heavily populated parts of the United States, a group of affluent New York lawyers pooled resources to preserve the Parmachenee Lake area for angling and sport hunting by their friends and families.

Weedy North Pond covers the boundary of Smithfield to the east, Mercer to the northwest, and Rome to the southwest. It is the shallowest lake of the chain. North Pond tributaries include Sucker Brook and Clark Brook joining the overflow from East Pond, and Leech Brook, Bog Brook and Pattee Brook flowing into the north end of the pond.
The pond is located near Maine State Route 180. [2] It is also not far from the community of Ellsworth, Maine. [3] Middle Brook and a number of other small brooks feed into it and Beech Hill Stream flows from the lake. [2] [4] The lake is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long and 12.1 miles (19.5 km) around. [5] On average, it is 0.5 miles (0.80 km) wide.

The upper section of the river offers good fly fishing for brook, rainbow and brown trout. [16] [17] Landlocked salmon can also be caught in the far northern portions of the river near Errol, New Hampshire. [17]
[60] [61] [62] Brook trout and Rocky Mountain cutthroat trout exploit very similar niches and directly compete with each other. However, because brook trout have many reproductive advantages (earlier maturation, greater fertility, and offspring emerge earlier in the year), brook trout are able to replace cutthroat very quickly.

As brook trout populations declined in the mid-19th century near urban areas, anglers flocked to the Adirondacks in upstate New York and the Rangeley lakes region in Maine to pursue brook trout. [52] In July 1916 on the Nipigon River in northern Ontario, an Ontario physician, John W. Cook, caught a 14.5 lb (6.6 kg) brook trout, which stands as ...
