Fishways

The fishways will be opening soon! Visit the Holyoke Gas and Electric Company's Barrett Fishway in Holyoke, or the Turners Falls Fishway and witness the amazing migration of shad, herring, sea lamprey and other anadromous fish. These fascinating fish are born in the river or its tributaries, migrate to the ocean and return as adults to the river of their birth to spawn. The Holyoke Gas and Electric fishway opens on May 7th, while the Turners Falls Fishway opens on May 14th. Hours of operation are Wednesday through Sunday 9:00 – 5:00. For more detailed information check out the fishway information in our 2008 Spring/Summer Newsletter.
