that the Connecticut had such a large population of hold over

No word of any sort of autopsy being conducted as they (the DEEP) is pretty confident that it was due to cold shock. Perhaps if enough people inquire and ask that question then one will be conducted.
This was nothing more than just a little feeder creek, but I was surprised to see just how many fish (used to) live in their. I know there are thousands upon thousands of fish in some of the larger rivers across New England, but I was unaware how many went up these smaller ones.
