Just wondering if anyone knows of any spots from shore you can fish. I've noticed the whole lake is pretty heavily engulfed with homes,but any help would help. Thanks

You can only fish the area by the launch, owned by the state.

For sure, I have been fishing a yearly tournament there for 15 years at least. We have had 16+ pound bags for 5 fish come from there. Lately it seems the word is out, and the weights are about 10 to 12 lbs for 5 fish.

Where is this Besek you speak of? I've never heard of it before.

It's in Middlefield off of 66. Hang a left or right depending on which way you're coming from at the light where Guidas rest is

Interesting... I was up on 66 coming from Meriden the other day heading towards middletown. I noticed what looked to be some sort of river I guess, going under the road. Any clue what that was?

Nada. But if you're coming from Meriden you would take a right at guidas and go straight about 2 miles down and you'll run into Besek

| It's probably Higby Reservoir. It's about half way between Meriden and Middletown. |

| Is it worth fishing near the boat launch at Besek or would I be wasting my time there? I've never been there but was thinking of stopping in tomorrow afternoon for a bit. |

I wouldn't bother to fish it from shore, way to many over hanging trees in the way.
I don't fish anywhere but from a bass boat these days, just not worth it when you can pick up a used canoe for less then $200, or a used jon or row boat for $500 or less.

Is this Higby Reservoir any good to fish? If so, any land spots, what do you catch mainly?

I've never fished it. I used to work in Meriden and made the trip from there to Middletown several times. That's the only way I figured what water you might be talking about. |
