Join former DEEP fisheries biologist Steve Gephard for a lively and informative talk about the mighty shad—Connecticut’s official state fish and a longtime favorite of Windsor anglers.

Discover the fascinating life cycle of this migratory fish that journeys from the Atlantic Ocean to our own Connecticut River each spring to spawn. Learn about the history of shad fishing, the challenges shad face today, and what’s being done—and what we can do—to ensure their future in our waters.

This program is part of Windsor Historical Society’s WindsorCT250 commemoration activities.
