I don't know any "legal" spots in Bristol but would be interested in knowing what you find out because I work in Bristol. Maybe someone will answer if your question is more specific. Are you looking for a place to fish with a boat or from land?

I live in Bristol. There isn’t much to fish here. There is Birge Pond. I’ve been told by 3 different people that there are huge carp, and bass in there. I’ve fished there 2 dozen times in the past 2 years and only caught little catfish. They are in the process of cleaning up the lake. New parking, new board walks around the lake, no more dam house. It actually looks nice. Then there are the lakes behind Marinelli's Super Club just over the Bristol Burlington boarder. Someone from this forum caught a good size bass there this spring, but all I’ve ever caught there was angry pickerel. The walk around is nice though. Take a look on Google Earth. Vicious Pete and I walked all over those woods and only caught pickerel. Lake Compounce holds some fish too. I don’t know what. I’ve never fished there. Way back in the day we were hanging out there in the woods, being juvenile delinquents, waiting to go into the Clash Of The Titians concert there, and Jerry Cantrell from the band Alice In Chains walks right past us. He was fishing. How cool was that? Now that’s the way to fish. New town and new water every day. There is Lake Winfield in Terryville. I caught a bass there when I was a kid, but I don’t think its worth fishing these days. I saw some trout hanging out near the dam last year. There is Scoville res in Wolcott. I’ve had some good luck there too. Small and large mouth there. I think that’s about it for this town. I remember hearing about some fish in the Pequabic River when I was a kid, but I highly doubt it. The factory in Terryville killed that river. The rocks and water behind the factory was actually orange and red. I used to tromp around those woods as a kid. And I used to work 3rd shift years back, and had to walk along that river to get to work, and it smelled so bad some nights it would make me gag. I’m pretty sure that’s about it for public fishing. I know of private property fishing around here, but your on your own there. good luck James
