CT is in their fourth or fifth year of increasing herring restrictions. They started by closing certain tribs on certain days. Then they closed all of the tribs to the CT River. Then they closed a whole section of the CT River. For the last 2-3 yrs the taking of herring from anywhere in the state has been banned.
It takes 4 years for this years spawn to return as mature adults. So we should be starting to see some of the fruits of the CTDEP's efforts this year and in years to come.
