Olson Woods Lake:  In April, alewives begin their journey.

This month pregnant alewives were brought by the CT DEP to the DLT's Olson Woods lake. The fish will spawn here and then travel down the Noroton River to LIS and out into the Atlantic Ocean. In three to four years time they will return once more to complete their cycle of life.

 

The DLT is sponsoring a fish ladder underneath I-95 at Holly Pond so the fish will once again be able to reach their home destination.
