Video: Beseck Fish June 2014

CTDEEP began lowering Beseck Lake in October of 2013 as a result of a needed dam repair. Many people had concern about what would happen to the fish population with the 16' draw down. Eight months later, with the lake still significantly drawn down, fishermen were seen reeling in a variety of fish near the dam, birds were seen grabbing fish in their talons, and fish were seen spawning along the banks.
