jimmy z Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 yeah my friend, it was a bit nippy this morning as it was other mornings this past month. It's a different season for sure. Every year i look for the Ct. river to flood, not in a bad way, but it is the turning point for this thing we do. I've yet to see the river at a high, high this year. I saw Wethersfield cove under the water, but not high, high like other years. Which has me thinking the water hasn't flowed down from the north or there will be no super flood stage this year. I'm opting for the latter since it's already May and the bass are in the river.

slicedcornbread Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Out fishing last night until about 1:00 AM and my hands were getting pretty cold. Of course I didn't bring my gloves. Supposed to be around 66 up this way today, which is about normal temps for this time of year around Boston. Been running about 10 degrees cooler than normal lately.

I don't live in CT anymore (used to live in Simsbury and fish the upper CT) but I did go for almost a week to PA trout fishing and the water there was easily a foot or more below average for this time of year and everything has yet to really bloom. Weird so far. jimmy z 1 "You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end -- which you can never afford to loose -- with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be .."

And yes my wife needed a fire last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belmo Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I would love it -- love it -- if it stayed like this all summer. Long, cool days, crisp nights, the outdoor waitresses at my corner taproom with nipples like the erasers on the end of a pencil... Bleep the heat.

makomakoman Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 It was cold up north. Many people in parkas watching a DH softball game. My daughter took like a 30 minute shower when she got home. RIP Innis - April 9th 2012 - you always be in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
