10 Day forecast isn’t looking very good for making ice.  Hard to find anywhere in the state where it is going to dip below freezing for the next 10 days…  May have to start thinking about heading north to find ice!

Fished 2 ponds in Ct. last Sunday. Creseant lake  in Southington and Black Pond in Middlefield. Both were 48 to 49 degrees on the fish finder. I was kayaking in waders and a tee shirt.
As a side note. Creseant Lake was hit with a weed killer by the town. Someone messed up big time. The weed beds and grass flats are all gone. There is some green scum at the ramp by the outflow and the water color is chartruse, but some clarity. Did manage one small perch on a shiner but with all the structure gone other than the brush piles put in by the old gate keeper,theres no structure to target.Real bummer as this place was a jewel of a small pond. Bass, Pickeral, crappie, and jumbo perch.

keep on salmon fishing until the ice locks up.  anyone west of the river have any good luck?  size?  i've done fairly well in the shetucket with nice fish to 28" but no monsters.  see?  i'm getting kinda restless.  reverse cabin fever in late fall.  need some ice. 
if the trout are lost, smash the state.

I saw that too really hoping it drops down into the 20's at night as predicted  :)  Hoping some of the bigger lakes will be locked up by mid Dec.

I've gone to 26", but on a fly rod it feels like a bluefish! Didn't you post a pic or two on the other thread? I can't find them now.  ??? ??? ???
