Windsor Locks Canal - Windsor Locks side
Message:
Went down to the Windsor Locks Canal last night for an hour of fishing or so. We only caught a couple of bluegills and a yellow perch. Something was cruising around as it was getting dark as the bait fish were jumping right out of the water. Nothing was grabbing the bait fish though (or our lures). I know some were wondering about paddling the canal. There are now signs posted stating NO BOATS, CANOES, KAYAKS or SWIMMING in the canal. The sign is from Ahlstrom (not the state of CT). These signs must be fairly new as we fish here often and had not seen them before last night.

It's funny that that DOT's trail map doesn't mention boating at all in it's list of recommended and prohibited activities: [img:5e9f0b7ff7]http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/6544/vhr6.jpg[/img:5e9f0b7ff7] Maybe someone should give the DEEP a call. The number listed on the website for the park is 860-242-1158.

I have fished it in a canoe when I was young but I don't think it is allowed. Some largemouth, white perch, yellow perch, bullheads, just about what you'd expect. I'd be surprised if you got hassled by anyone and would love to know how it goes if you go, but overall i'd say not worth the trouble.
