Lifelong Sebago Lake fisherman disgusted by number of wasted lake trout left on the ice

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • February 22, 2021

Kurt Christensen, 57, grew up on Sebago Lake and has fished it his whole life. Christensen has eaten or released every lake trout he’s ever caught. That’s why he’s so mad. Over the weekend, he found more than a hundred dead and wasted lake trout — or togue — frozen to the ice where fishermen caught the fish, then left them behind. Christensen sees it as a waste while the state says its part of a conservation plan.
