Same deal here, when I used to fish there a lot we got some small ones like 5". Many fish were milting when we caught them, so they were definitely trying to spawn at least. CT and Thames both have similar stretches to other "defined" spawning grounds. They're a pretty tough fish, if atlantic salmon can still reproduce not doubt they they can too.
