Eureka Lake/ Res.
Message:
Hey all, I just moved to the area and I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out the rules and regs in CT, specifically Eureka. Couldn't find anything online. I headed out there today and found no posted signs or no fishing signs so I mozied on out down the peninsula there and it was awesome. What a convenient place to fish from! My real question is, can I fish there with just a license or do I need to get a Reservoir license as well?? Also does my NY license work in CT or is that just for Marine aka Saltwater ( I was assuming it did work :) ) Thanks all! BK

Never heard of Eureka Lake. State regulations can be found at [url]www.ct.gov/dep[/url] NY State all waters license can only be used for CT saltwater. If fishing freshwater in CT you need an out of state license seeing you live in NY.

Its a decent size lake in the corner of Danbury that Bethel uses I think. From what I can find there is a pump house on it or something like that. I've only seen it referred to as a reservoir once. I know NY has wacky laws about Reservoirs so I just wanted to make sure I don't get locked up by the DEC or DEP (or whoever it is out this way) for fishing some sacred waters. If it were up to me I would make people stock their swimming pools and open it to the public. Guess I'll have to go spend the 55 bucks on my out of state license.... sigh
