Not sure about the statistics but more sewage is never a good thing. If you haven't been to the Middlborough run it is definately worth the trip in April. And for those of you that think this river's herring population has nothing to do with your Narragansett Bay fishery think again. The Nemasket empties into the Taunton River which is the one that flows past Fall River into Mt. Hope Bay, into the Sakonnet and Narragansett Bay. It is the Largest run in Massachusetts which also makes it the largest run in Narragansett Bay. They all swim past us on the way there. Of course, with the harvesting ban on Herring in both states coupled with the recent explosion of menhaden, you'll be hard pressed to find a fisherman that knows what a herring is in five years never mind understanding the importance of them to the stiped bass population along with the need to preserve their habitat. Good heads up with the post. I thought we were done with destroying breeding habitats after the industrial revolution subsided anyway. Is this the start of the gambling revolution, but instead of european decendants building dams for power the natives want thier shot at destroying the habitat by pumping our crap into it?
