Hey guys,

I have lived in Boston the last 6 years and know the area pretty well, but this weekend i am going back to New Haven CT to visit the fam and thought i might do some fishing.  Any guys in that area know some good local ponds where the fish are bitting?  

Sorry, can't help in that area

but if you travel to Hartford or east let me know

i definitely will.  i take a week off in May to do some turkey hunting in CT and since you cant hunt past noon the rest of the day will be dedicated to my other love, bass fishing.  Ill send you a pm

Pattagansett, Roger's, and Gorton's pond are all decent.    

If you don't mind paying $25 for a permit from the Regional Water Authority (rwater.com), you can fish the Maltby Lakes, Lake Chamberlain, and Lake Saltonstall. They are not open yet for fishing, but I have had really good luck at both Maltby and Saltonstall. The Branford supply pond, Lake Wintergreen, and the Ansonia Reservior are other good ones not far from New Haven.

I wanted to go to the Maltby lakes, but they are not open yet as you mentioned.  I actually went to Lake Wintergreen, no luck but should be a good spot for the future.  Thanks guys!

Pattagansett - a bass management lake which is well taken care of and holds plenty of bass including 6lbers and bigger...
