Fish, fish and more fish!

May 12  The alewives are running amazingly well for this early in the run! Counting began on Monday and fish are charging into the fish ladder and passing into the lake like it’s the middle of the run!  This morning, alewives were harvested for the smokehouse. Harvesting for bait will begin on Monday. The lake level has come down enough that the tender was able to reduce the flow down the Middle Stream, which means there will be full access along the entrance and lower fish ladder for Mothers Day weekend.  Hooray!
