The lake abounds in fish of many varieties; the lake trout and the pickerel being the most important and valuable. Cusk are much prized by many, and perch and horned-pout may be taken at any time, by the most inexperienced angles, in quantities to suit. A variety of salt-water fish were some years since placed in this lake by experimenting parties; but as nothing was seen or know of them afterwards, it was presumed they found their level either in a “watery grave,” or through the channel of the Winnipesaukee and the Merrimack in a more congenial element, the briny deep.
