Fish are dying in four northern Maine lakes

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 11, 2020

Reports of dead fish — most of them yellow perch — on four lakes in northern Maine have prompted questions from the public. While it might seem unusual, the official word from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is that the fish die-off on Long Lake, Cross Lake, Square Lake and Madawaska Lake is natural. It shouldn’t cause concern.
