Post Mortum
Toby,
Many thanks for this report. Did Rod McLeod of Conn, Wildlife
suggest an autopsy. Certainly this must be standard for fish
kills like this. Didn't read the article on Cold and Fish but have
serious doubts about a die off due to cold water. If you hear
more please let us know. For what it is worth I did not know
that the Connecticut had such a large population of hold over
bass.

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.
