Crayfish
We've summered in Wolfeboro since before I was born. In the 70's and 80's crayfish were abundant. Would see them with a flashlight any time after dark and of course around the rocks. I sued to think they disappeared because of the natural cycle of the lake changing our area from sand and gravel to silty and weedy over the last 40 years perhaps ushering the crayfish to move on to more gravely areas. However a smart local friend of mine suggests that the chemicals used to kill millfoil are to blame for the destruction of the crayfish population.
