Of these twenty-two fish species, six of them have been selected as needing special consideration from the 2006 New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan. The six species are brook trout, burbot, lake trout, rainbow smelt, round whitefish, and slimy sculpin. This is based on population status, integral ecological function of a species, or the ability of a species to indicate a healthy aquatic ecosystem.
Every year, the lake is stocked with additional fish. The fish stocking that occurs in Newfound Lake happens between mid-March and early July. In 2011, Newfound Lake was stocked with 305 landlocked salmon, with a total weight of 2,622 pounds (1,189 kg), and 1,845 rainbow trout weighing 2,589 pounds (1,174 kg).

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or fish:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
