Management History
Long Pond in Plymouth is one of the best ponds in the state for salmonid habitat and has a long history of trout and salmon stocking. Brook, brown and rainbow trout, chinook salmon, landlocked salmon, sockeye salmon, smallmouth bass, bullheads, white perch, chain pickerel, walleye, rainbow smelt and alewives were all stocked here prior to 1948. Management of the pond in recent years has concentrated on trout and salmon stocking, survey work and access improvements.

Famous quotes containing the words management and/or history:
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
