Smallmouth bass were illegally introduced to Miramichi Lake in the headwaters of the Southwest Miramichi River more than 12-years ago. This invasive fish threatens the native ecosystem including species like brook trout and Atlantic salmon. At the moment, smallmouth are concentrated in a small area, but if nothing is done they will spread to most lakes, brooks, and rivers in the watershed.
