heres the dope on herring in Ct
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced the taking of anadromous alewives and blueback herring from inland and marine waters of the State of Connecticut is prohibited. The closure is effective February 8, 2002 and shall remain in effect until March 31, 2003 or until such earlier date as the Commissioner may declare. The DEP is taking this action because river herring populations have declined to historically low levels, potentially compromising their ability to sustain themselves.
