Untill the comm river herring harvest/bycatch is significantly reduced, river herring will never recover to a reasonable level. And untill it does there will be no recreational take.
i know for a fact that the herring are being inhaled by those cormarands birds buy the thousands. i see them dive down and come up every time with a herring. but know one does nothing about those birds. thats the reason there gone. cape cod canal are now killing some of these birds

I haven't seen a law that explicitly prohibits a person from diving underwater, catching a herring in their teeth, then fully swallowing it before returning to the surface. That is something to consider...

I'll bet cormorants are doing a job on them, too.. I know for a fact they will DECIMATE trout population. Last year, we had 3 cormorants on our club pond. I fished for 30 minutes in the am one time, and in that time, I saw 2 cormorant take a trout each. IF they aren't eating them, they're certainly pecking them enough to die, later. They are taking over lakes, now, too..
