It's time folks.  I can wait any longer and I know many out there are feeling it too.  Folks in the major rivers have been catching them all year, and with highs in the 60s all of next week, I'm thinking the weekend of April 5th it's game on for the rest of us.  


Post any reports, pictures and thoughts related to what I hope will be an epic spring run this year

May be a little early for quantities of  spawning migratories but holdovers from the rivers should be venturing out front. Is hard to tell without cutting them open though...usually I wait until I hear about lots of big fish in the far western sound to conclude they are HR bass heading east, post spawn.

Alright guys, I'll back off my previous statement.  As most of you have been on this site much longer than me.  I just think some guys are a little too touchy with "spot burning"  aka mentioning a large river system in a post.  Not including whether or not they caught fish.  But God knows the last thing anyone from CT wants  is people from New jersey showing up. haha

Its ok...there pretty big rivers

 

If you think the rivers are big enough, please feel free to post up your specific spots along with your reports. I think you will quickly see how small the rivers actually are.

 

In all honesty, I would not even post the names of the rivers that we, as CT based anglers, target for fish. I realize it's not rocket science, but the less information out there on the internet for ANYONE to see; the better.

 

This in turn should also apply to any and all spots in CT waters. I think this season we will begin to see a much greater influx of out-of-staters in our waters. The more we share, the more pictures of fish we post (in real time), the more pressure we will have to deal with.

 

Just my thoughts..... but I recall one spot last season where I saw cars from VT, NY, NJ, PA, RI and MA on a regular basis. If you don't think people are willing to drive for fish, you are greatly mistaken.

It all started last year during a terrible thunderstorm, when I locked myself out of the house. Shelving myself with a large piece of sheet metal, I ran for cover under the tallest tree I could find!

I'll be sure to include directions and photo evidence.  In all seriousness I'm not going to get into an argument with people about this.  I feel people are a little touchy about it, and that's it.  Out of curiosity why do you feel that there will be an influx of out of state fishermen?  Gut feeling or is something going on in other states that would leave you to believe this?
