What is your favorite spot to fish in connecticut?

There are a lot of good places to catch bass in CT. I can't say I have a favorite, but I do love shorefishing from several unnamed ponds I've found on Google Earth. It's a great way for me to unwind from a miserable day at work 8-)

If you're looking for lakes to fish, here are a few good ones...

Moodus Reservoir (lots of pads, pretty shallow, big fish potential. I read someone pulled a 10 pounder out of there last year)

Bashan Lake (one of my favorites - deep and rocky, lots of docks and some decent weed cover. Good smallie population, but never pulled a big smallie from there. There are some good largemouth and you can get 50 in a day if you get on a school)

Wyassup Lake (small and beautiful, there are some pads and docks, and some rocky points and flats. Mostly dinks in my experience but there are some big ones in there)

Silver Lake (really really weedy and tough to fish well in the summer. Probably my favorite early spring lake. Tons and tons of fish, but you have to look really hard to catch the bigger ones)

Good luck!

P.S. CT River has great fishing, especially when the stripers move in. They should be coming up shortly if they're not here already  

Thank you for responding there have to be somemore connecticut fishermen out there

Where do you fish?

I like to fish all over connecticut. Some of my favorite spots are Pachaug, Mansfield Hollow, Quinebaug Pond, Quaddick, and Amos lake

I like Pachaug, haven't fished the others but I've heard of them. I heard Mansfield Hollow is a pile though.

I'd like to fish Amos soon...I've actually looked for it after hanging out at Foxwood's, didn't find it, so just fished Wyassup instead.

It is right on 164 you cant miss it

Winchester and Highland lake.......Fished them 5 years ago while out in CT turkey hunting.......

I believe Amos is a private fishery

Candlewood Lake and Squantz Pond are both great places for all types of fish.

Shenipsit Res.

Amston Lake (private)

Also Compensating Res. and Winchester
