Each comes from the agency's own published list; where the list names a reach it is quoted. A designation applies to the listed reach, not necessarily the whole water. Listed in the finder under trout.

The Forks is the settlement in western Maine where the Dead River joins the Kennebec, downstream of Harris Station dam on Indian Pond; upstream, the Kennebec leaves Moosehead Lake at the East Outlet, and the Moose River runs into Moosehead from Jackman to the north-west.

Matched on the fish the agencies list for both waters first, then the same water type, an official designation or flagship listing on both, and a similar mapped size where USGS hydrography covers both.
At most two waters per country. A shared fish is a listing, not a promise: presence varies by reach and season.

Not a statement of access, fish presence or conditions.
A water page organises discovery. It does not assert public access, legal access, current fish presence, guide availability or fishing conditions.
Flows, gauge statistics and flood stages come from USGS and the National Weather Service when the page is shown. Regulations, stocking, species and season statements link to the agency that publishes them; this page copies only the species names and the quoted sentences. Guide and shop listings come from the Legendary directories. Position: the point for “Lost Pond” (lake) in the USGS Geographic Names Information System. Water type is our own classification.
