Basin Sheepscot
Caption Sheepscot River, June 29, 1950. View in flooded meadow above Somerville (36,400 yds. or 21.75 miles above Alna Bridge) looking back over part of 300 to 500 yard stretch of no definite channel. Water flows (or seeps) thru acres of Equisetium sp. (horsetails). Water is less than a foot deep and hard work pushing a canoe through. This stretch may bother adult salmon moving to spawning grounds, and young seaward migrants, although the latter can probably work their way thru. Dead water above and below harbors pickerel and is a bad area for young salmon.
