while there is no "proof" of spawning stripers on the CT river, i saw several 4" - 5" stripers at the enfield dam while snorkeling a few summers back. i'm not sure of the growth rate on the little guys, but this was in august. while they were probably not YOY, they would definately have had some trouble swimming all the way up there from the hudson, chesapeake, or even down from the penobscot!
