Gonna Take a While
Message:
Sunday morning I wake up to find it just after 9, which meant head out to cover a number of local spots and see what the action was like.
First I arrive at the ballparks at Beardsley to find hardly anything in the Pequonnock. Last year the state hardly put anything in there, and this year seems the same.
Next was the funeral home. Bluegills weren't stacked up yet in the shallows and hardly any signs of big pumpkinseeds or nice largemouths along the shore. I beat the skunk by catching a chunky 10.5" crappie on the Strike King Lightning Shad, which had bluegills and yellows interested also.
I then go to Unity Park to check out the Pequonnock but only see 1 trout in the crystal clear water with the sun making it easy to see.
Fish Twin Brooks for a while and throw a number of lures, by starting off where I was into those bullgills last year. Beat the skunk there by catching a 9" crappie with the Strike King.
Hit the road just after 4.
While fishing, I heard something near me, to find a eastern garter snake. I also heard the first eastern phoebe of the year.
1 thing I saw while fishing that seemed unusual for this time of year was many white suckers in their spawning stage at 1 of the ponds where Booth Hill Brook feeds in. White suckers should just be ending their spawning stage, but with the way the winter was and all the ice lakes and ponds had, it seems like those fish are late this year.

It's even worse in the NorthWest CT.
Lakes and ponds are still frozen. Hopefully this week is gonna get them ice free.
On Burr Pond (Torrington), I saw people ice fishing on last Friday :o, so the ice was still thick enough, not to brake up!
Probably similar situation up in Salisbury, Sharon, Canaan and around the Mass. border. I saw plenty of snow still on the ground in that area.
Last year, this time wasn't much different actually, possibly the winter was a week or 2 shorter, but fishing was poor in the first 2 weeks of April.
The fish are seriously behind their schedule, thanks to the extra long and extra cold winter we had.
