Hi Mike1!
Well 1st of all there are only 2 bodies of water in Ct. that have Smelt.
Colebrook Res. -> North end -> Have to park on Rt. 8 north -> Then go down a path they call the Goat Path, long, very steep, and a super pain to climb back up :!:
Hogback Res. is the other -> not to bad to walk down to or back.
BEWARE :!: :evil: At Hogback they do release water and it has happened that you can have an AIR GAP (as much as 2 ft.) between the ice and water.
SPUD your way out by checking that there is water under the ice to hold it up -> STARTING at the shore line and then every few feet out from there.
Me -> I prefer to go up to Massachusetts just across the border -> Onota Lake or Littleville Res. -> parking, short walk out over deep water, + you can also catch nice trout and salmon.
Best regards,
