Herring in 06
With the no take of herring expanding from just CT to CT, RI, and MA - have any of you been following the runs to see how they are doing? If the fish are dropping out (some should be)? Or good runs?
Thanks!
John

John,
The herring up my way seem to be as healthy as a horse...I haven't lost a one while transporting them from point A to point B....They're also more available this year as there are less poachers to compete with....one scoop in the ladder and I'm set for the night  ........weeeeeeeeeee,,,,catch me if you can - 
Actually an old run nearby which in the past few years has NOT seen a herring rush...had gulls sitting all over the rocks feasting on the tired or injured. It was nice to see them in there again!!!  .... |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

herring reports
I've been trying to follow the herring and shad runs. There is a good site although it focuses on the Connecticut River.
http://www.ctriversalmon.org/
Check their reports (roughly weekly) for counts for Salmon, shad, bluebacks and alewife. |
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

The Canal run has been relatively poor this year. Despite what you might read from one guy on FFSW. As of 5/6, the fish counter was tallying 20,000, according to the herring agent.
I was down there today. There were just a few in each of the lower pools--maybe 50-70 in the second one at the top of the first fish ladder--and about 20 grouped up at the top of the chute along Rte 6, waiting to go under the road. There was absolutely no sign of any herring in the Canal itself 
I've yet to see a fish taken at the Run, let alone catch one myself, altho I'm sure there must have been a few taken there.
There's a pick of keepers in other places along the Canal, tho. |

They're LOADED, LOADED, LOADED!!!!!!!!!!
And now only the poachers and trawlers can get them  .
But if it means my boys will be able to see their kids play with em, it'll be worth it. Here's my oldest son shaking hands with one its way up stream. |

I've checked a local big run pretty frequently and it's been loaded with cormorants since late March though this week. I've only "seen" serious fish activity once, but if the birds are there...

It should definately make things easier for Law Enforcement to govern the runs...no-one really has reason to be at one unless they're site seeing for whatever reason . ..

I have yet to see any on the CT river this year. The one spot I usually find them around this time of the year has had too little water to bring them in. The rain we have had the past few days will help, though. I'll be out Monday looking for them for sure.

What a surprise, no Russian factory ships this year and buckeyes have been seen in runs that no one saw buckeyes in the last two years/////////////////////////The S-B fishermen must be taking an A$$ load of buckeyes that they show this year  |
