Have you ever wondered what it’s like to fish in Grand Lake Stream, Maine? At Camp Kotok, the experience is governed by strict rules. Your guide, risks losing their license for a year if you don’t have your own fishing license. You’re allowed to catch only one smallmouth bass per day, provided it measures less than 12 inches. Largemouth bass and perch, on the other hand, are unlimited, with perch being particularly prized for their taste. This stringent regulation for smallmouth bass is due to their illegal introduction to these waters—an attempt to preserve the balance and protect the local ecosystem.
