FYI This month's board meeting will be at the Bangor Motor Inn the Fourth Wednesday.
Join us for our March 5, 2025, Meeting Speaker Joshua Kuester the Fish Culture Supervisor at the Grand Lake Stream State Fish Hatchery
Joshua will be talking about the Grand Lake Stream Hatchery ![]() My name is Joshua Kuester. I have worked for the State of Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Hatchery Division for nearly 12 years now. I have worked at three different state hatcheries, primarily focusing on Brook Trout and Landlocked Salmon. I am currently the Fish Culture Supervisor at the Grand Lake Stream State Fish Hatchery. Here in Grand Lake Stream we have one of the state's most well known fisheries, specifically managed for fly fishing. The unique behavior of downstream spawning exhibited by the Landlocked Salmon here in the west branch of the St. Croix is what contributes to this exceptional fishing opportunity. It's this characteristic that makes working at the Grand Lake Stream Fish Hatchery so interesting, to be the steward of these fish that exhibit behaviors not seen by any other Salmon is truly something that I take pride in. I myself am an avid outdoorsman and enjoy fishing, hunting, kayaking, and hiking. Perhaps we might come across one another enjoying Maine's great outdoors.
