CHAIN PICKEREL The best fishing is at smaller ponds with a decent amount of emergent vegetation and lily pads. Toss a weedless rubber worm and jig through the vegetation.
COMMON CARP. Try south of Middletown in the CT River and the coves. Other carp favorite water include Lake Zoar, the upper Housatonic River, Batterson Park Pond, Aspinook Pond and West Thompson Reservoir. Pre-Bait your area to bring in plenty of hungry carp.
WALLEYE. Still very few reports for walleye this week except for lots of shorts at Gardner Lake. Nighttime is best now, places to try include Squantz Pond, Mount Tom Pond, Lake Zoar, Mashapaug Lake (although it’s been slow here), Cedar Lake and Beach Pond.
NORTHERN PIKE. Places to hit include the upper Housatonic River (Kent area), Pachaug Pond, which has great pike but very little fishing pressure for pike in the summer (also try the downstream lakes – Hopeville, Ashland), Mansfield Hollow Reservoir, Winchester Lake, Bantam Lake, Lake Zoar and the CT River.
PANFISH. Perfect time of year to go to your favorite pond and load up on bluegill and perch. It’s great for families and will get kids hooked on fishing. Fly-fishing with small poppers will provide some great catches. Also, try suspending poppers to catch a few crappie. Looking for a new place to fish? Check out our interactive mapping application.
