Another Low Count Today; However....

The sun came out late in the day, and the herring started running again!  With the 2.5+" of rain we had over the last couple of days, we think the fish were tucked away and resting a little, with the heavy flow of water through the culverts under Rt 28 and Rt 149.  It's hard enough to swim upstream without this massive flow!



Today there are still significant numbers of herring in the flume entering Middle Pond, so we're planning on continuing the count.

We had 116 fish observed on Monday, May 7th, when the weather was beautiful and water flows were normal, so we want to be sure that we're accurately projecting the end of this record setting year!
