Colebrook Reservoir Fishing Report

With over and fishing waters, with no residential development, Colebrook River Lake – straddling the Connecticut and Massachusetts state line – is an ideal leisure-time destination. Colebrook River Lake gives many excellent recreational boating and fishing opportunities, as well as a ship ramp. The Lake is in Colebrook, Connecticut with the northern end extending into Massachusetts near New Boston. The original path 8 yields a seven mile drive around the lake at lower water levels and many visitors come here for the spectacular fall foliage season. Beautiful views will be encountered from the dam and inside the reservoir confines. (lakelubbers.com)

The lake and river are stocked with brown, rainbow and brook trout and also holds largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike chain pickerel, catfish and pan fish. Either a Massachusetts or Connecticut fishing license can be used in the reservoir up to the old path 8 bridge, although a Massachusetts license is needed upstream of the bridge. This project is managed in close coordination with the Hartford Metropolitan District Commission MDC . The hydroelectric power building was constructed at the dam by the MDC under a federal license. The project is on Connecticut path 8 from the Town of Winsted. (nae.usace.army.mil)

The expanded winter, high goes driven by snowmelt and rain, and cold water temperatures meant a slow start to the trout season for many. More challenging anglers, some lakes and ponds in both the Northwest and Northeast Corners still had important ice cover. Anglers did but enjoy great weather during Opening Day, greeted with a clear, cool morning that quickly warmed up nicely. Seven of the eleven Trout Parks were stocked on Opening Day and the many kids present enjoyed helping us stock a Community Fishing Area, Mirror Lake in Hubbard Park, Meriden, was stocked on Opening Day this spring instead of the Black Rock Pond Trout Park caused by icy conditions .

Stripped bass — The big cows are now usually a nighttime pursuit. Live lining and chunking bunker is the top technique for pulling the big one up from their deep haunts. Bunker has invaded Black Rock and most of the other harbor along the southeast coast. The midweek action was brisk at Fayerweather Island at daybreak and dusk. The mouth of the Housatonic, while not exactly on fire, still holds a good number of schoolie stripers in the 18- to 24-inch range for those with access to a ship that gets them to the Milford breakwater on the dropping tide. Opaque white, four-inch Slug-Gos and Clouser flies have done well but expect to make many casts per fish in the ship. (ctfishingreports.blogspot.com)

We thought we were really high tech when I received a movable stove for Christmas from my darlin Edna. The stove, which ran on Amoco remember them? white gas, was more convenient for brewing a pot of coffee or frying up some chops and onions for lunch. As I pen this column I can smell the onions as they caramelized in the old cast iron frying pan. The smell of the frying onions could waft across the lake on the current wind and could sooner or later draw other fishermen to our area to see How the fishing was? . (myrecordjournal.com)
