'''Fishers Brook''' is a stream that runs for about 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) at its maximum length in spring. Most of the year, it reaches only 3,000 meters (9842.52 feet). Located in [[Storrs, Connecticut]], It feeds several small wetlands, including one small pond, before dropping off into [[Codfish Falls]]. It then leads into the [[Fenton River]]. Just before the falls, as well as in several other places, it is intersected by small bridges.
==Flora and fauna==
Like much of the surrounding bodies of water, Fishers Brook is home to many species of [[frog]], [[toad]], and [[salamander]], as well as [[newts]] and [[mudpuppies]]. [[Northern water snake|Water snakes]] and [[smooth greensnake]]s are among the most common snakes here, and small [[turtles]] can be found sunning themselves on rocks. Many birds and mammals also live along the brook.
Plants that grow in the water here are mostly common water plants, such as [[pondweed]], [[marshweed]], [[sphagnum moss]], [[Nymphaeaceae|waterlily]], and [[watercress|cress]]. [[Cattails]], [[ferns]], [[reed (plant)|reeds]], [[skunk cabbage]], and invasive [[phragmites]] are found on the shores. [[Fungi]] of all sorts are native as well.
