(c) That Brook Trout be planted in the brook, and thus the 

 lake will be stocked, (d) That the Eastern Pickerel be discouraged 

 in this system. 



N awahunta Lake {Lemmons Lake) . 



1. Physical Conditions and Vegetation. A very shallow- 

 pond, from 7 to 10 feet deep, formed by damming Lewis Brook. 

 Temperature in July 68° Fahrenheit at 10 feet. A flooded and 

 formerly cultivated farm. Few water plants present. 



2. Kinds and Abundance of Fish. Hornpout, very 

 abundant; Common Sucker, abundant; Eastern Pickerel, one 

 young fish taken. 



3. Conditions for Fish. A warm, very shallow lake with 

 little aquatic vegetation. Inlet stream suitable for trout. More 

 aquatic vegetation desirable. A water particularly suitable for 

 Hornpout and sunfishes. 



4. Policy for the Water. The inlet stream, Lewis Brook, is 

 tributary to Queensboro Brook, and the entire system is advised 

 for trout. 



5. Recommendations, (a) Planting Calico Bass, Pomoxis 

 sparoides Lacepede. 



Cedar Lake. 



1. Physical Conditions and Vegetation. This is a lake 

 formed by damming a valley and uniting two ponds. The shore 

 is largely rocky and with numerous small bays or coves at the 

 southwestern end. No inlets; spring fed. The floating islands 

 were formed by the bog floated by flooding, at both northern and 

 southern parts of the lake. A single large and a few small rocky 

 islands. The coves abound in stagnant water caused by the rich 

 forest humic soil. A very large area of the lake is between 20-30 

 feet deep, with a small area, reported by Mr. W. A. Welch to be 

 of about three acres in extent and about 40 feet deep. A large mar- 

 ginal belt is of about 16 feet in depth. The shores are steep with 

 little sand or gravel, on account of their newness. Aside from 

 the floating bog islands, at the north and south ends of the lake, 

 and in most of the protected coves there are few water plants. 

 Most of these are in the coves on the southwestern shore. There 

 is a periodical growth of water bloom.
