I crossed the CT River around Noon today and there were birds working. I was just south of Hartford. I'm thinking it's Herring moving North.

Seemed like spring these past few days, but we have another cold front coming up that will bring highs of 20 and lows of -5 this weekend. Should be nice  |

Bloo no herring and no korkers on the boat both are still banned.  But they are here as the river down the road had gulls all watching it for the past few days and that means they are here. |

Since the forrests have been devastated by over harvesting ,I've heard talk about a ban on wood plugs.  |

I could be completely incorrect, but I thought in MA there was a 3 year restriction (that ends this year) on the use of river herring.... sea herring were ok though.

We have had Robins all year long as in years past. I saw my first Buzzard this week on my way to the Cape and work, around south Middleboro. I usually consider them the first sign that spring is around the corner. Robins are pretty commonplace year round on the coast and 20 miles inland it seems. I grow several species of plants that hold their berries all winter, Viburnums, and the robins have just about picked them clean in the last month. Herring are usually seen in my local run, Middleboro, as early as middle of Feb. sometimes. I am sure we will probably see a few seals this far inland soon too.
Here is a great site if you have interest in Herring, eels, Taunton river ,smelt,etc, Scan down the page for the info. Really Nice photos too.

Let's hope they never ban fries as bait, it's my go to when things get slow, I've even been known to through-wire a whole potato and hang some VMCs off the thing. Bass love carbs!  |

3 year moratorium i believe, then after that a reasessment which will probally end up being a longer ban. And yes they are strict on the rules, which is good, I was warned when I was fishing within 20ft of herring run at the canal.
