introductions, demonstrates that “native” does not necessarily imply a historically ubiquitous distribution. Barriers, high stream gradients, low stream fertilities and rigorous climatic conditions following retreat of the glacier resulted in low species diversity for fishes in most Adirondack waters. Low diversity allowed the brook trout to occur in large areas of the Adirondack upland. Brook trout and lake trout were particularly successful at colonizing the Adirondack region and thrived in the relative absence of competing and predacious fishes. George (1980) states: “Under primeval conditions, the brook trout was nearly ubiquitous in the Adirondacks. Its agility, great range in size and facility in rapidly flowing water allowed it to spread widely, perhaps even concurrently with the demise of the glaciers, thus explaining its presence in unstocked waters above currently impassable waterfalls.” Brook trout were reported to be native to nearly all Adirondack waters according to Calvins’s Report to the Commissioners of Fisheries, Game and Forests, 1902-1903. The 1932 Biological Survey of the Upper Hudson Watershed Report reiterated that “Above the 1000 foot contour line most Adirondack waters are naturally suited and were originally inhabited by brook trout.” Many Adirondack waters were originally inhabited by brook trout or brook trout in combination with only one or two other species as indicated by the following passage, also from the 1932 Biological Survey: “In the survey of the Upper Hudson drainage, 51 trout ponds were studied where the trout is found in company with only a few other species.” Natural fish barriers prevented the establishment of “native but widely introduced “ (NBWI) fishes found downstream. Today, natural fish barriers are considered to be an indicator that a pond historically contained a very simple (i.e. few species) fish community. In these circumstances brook trout would have been capable of maintaining themselves by natural spawning. 17
