The Lake Zoar Authority Marine Patrol was more aggressive with enforcement actions last month. On Saturday, July 27, a person was caught fishing in the exclusion zone of the Shepaug Dam and issued a written warning.  Connecticut law states that no person shall operate a vessel within 15-hundred feet of the downstream side of the Lake Housatonic Dam in Derby or the Shepaug Dam in Southbury.  Signage prohibiting occupation in the area is posted. It is illegal to fish in this area from a boat. There is a fence blocking foot trespassing on FirstLight’s shoreline.  The Marine Patrol says more serious enforcement will be taken in the future, including ticketing of a misdemeanor offence.
