I'm off from work this week and planning on getting out for a drive tomorrow or Friday to check a few local places. Starting in South Windsor and heading NE more or less up the 84 corridor. So far, my list of stops is:
Valley Falls Pond, Vernon
Lower/Middle Bolton Lakes, Bolton
Hurds Lake, Somers
Bigelow/Mash, Union
Anyone have any other suggestions along that route/those general areas? I'm not looking for any specific species, I want to get my young kids on the ice for the first time this year so just looking for anyplace I can find some action. Or, if anyone's checked those placed recently and I needn't bother, that would be good info to have.
