Reflections On The Lake

"I started reeling it in and it was getting harder and harder to reel so I yelled for my Dad to help. He helped me reel it in and when it came out of the water it was a large mouth bass.  We named it basszilla."

Don't Let This Happen To Pawtuckaway! Print E-mail
Written by PLIA Staff   

54 lakes in New Hampshire are infested with exotic species of water weeds. All it takes is one piece of a weed stuck on a boat trailer to find its way into the lake and within a year or two the lake can be infested. The following photos are from lakes in New Hampshire, Maine, and the Mid-West that have become infested. Help the PLIA keep this from happening to our beautiful lake! Warning: This is a large article and will take awhile to open on a dial-up internet connection.

PLIA Mission Statement

The Pawtuckaway Lake Improvement Association (PLIA) is a Private, Non-Profit Organization formed to monitor and act upon environmental and safety issues in the Pawtuckaway Lake Watershed area. The PLIA also provides education, information, recreation and other services to its members.


The Association routinely conducts water quality sampling under the New Hampshire Volunteer Lake Assessment program of the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. Other activities (sailboat races, fishing derbies, etc.) may be coordinated by the Association, but are funded by program participants.
