The wethersfield cove on the CT river gets all the overflow from the Hartford MDC combined sewage. Several million gallons per year. Overflow goes into a stream that dumps into the cove. Millions of gallons a year of raw sewage dump into the cove. The cove and the stream both were spawning areas for hering. My father inlaw grew up on the cove and also owns the house he grew up in. When he was a kid the herring would line the shore of the cove by the thousands. I haven't seen a single one along the yard since maybe 2001 or 2. After a nice rain the scent of raw sewage wafts throughout the yard. Anything you can imagine being in the sewers makes a nice little tidal line along the yard when the tide drops out. Father inlaw also says when he was a kid there were always some kinda big fish attacking the herring and chasing em up on the yard. He doesn't fish so he doesn't know what they were for sure
