  In response to the question:  I don't know about the landlocked salmon in
Maine, but there are standard ocean going salmon which were introduced to a
landlocked lake (Flathead Lake in Glacier Park) in Montana in the early part
of this century.  They spawn in the streams.  Bald Eagles soon discovered
them and visit each mid to late October for the fishing.  Even Canadian birds
come.  You can expect to see a few hundred.  The mystery is how so many
eagles learned of it so quickly.  The situation may change, however.  The
last we heard mining had been approved (but may be on hold) which which silt
the streams and kill the fry.
