Fish Migration on the Connecticut River | Connecting Point | April 29, 2019

The Connecticut River, New England’s longest running river at over 400 miles, hosts several species of anadromous fish. Anadromous fish spend the early portion of their lives in fresh water and their adult lives in salt water, before returning to fresh water to spawn. With migration season only a couple of weeks away, Connecting Point’s Brian Sullivan traveled to several spots along the Connecticut River to check in on nature’s annual rite of passage.

i strongly suggest that you check out the amazing fish passages that have been developed on the River Severn in England. It looks to me to be a far superior means of allowing fish migration than our inadequate fish ladders. Among other things, the Severn passages meld with the main flow of water which helps the fish find the passage.

Come over to the Saco River in ME. The Atlantic Sturgeon ain't struggling there. You gotta worry about not getting hit in head with em while striper fishing.
