I'm by no means an expert but I have read about a small resident spawning population in Maine, maybe the Kennebunk as someone else already said. It seems to me that the hold overs must at least try to spawn since reproduction and the passing on on ones genetics is the primary goal of almost all species. I am not saying that they are successful but it just doesn't make sense to me that they would stay here if they knew they wouldn't be able to reproduce.
