I think it won't be long before other States follow CT's lead. The numbers of herring are down. I read that the Harwich run may be closed for the next three years due to a very low return rate. The herring are going away, conservation of this resource should be supported by more people.
After the closure in CT, we learned to fish with artificials. You can do really well with artificials, if you put in the time. It take four years for this years herring fry to return to spawn, so conservation measures will take at least that long to even see if they are working. We are in the third year of a total closure in CT. Hopefully we will see results in the next few years.
