Navigatingth CT River
Message:
Hey all, I recently have gotten into fishing the CT River and I was wondering if anyone had any insight on navigating it. I typically launch down b Salmon River but also have been up by Hartford. Does anyone know of areas to stay away from our any maps of the river that show depths at low tide. I have an 18 ft Nitro and would hate to run it into something because i don't know the area. I typically hit up Candlewood and Lillinonha so i dont know the river very well. Thanks in advance.

watch out for wing dams and dikes and sandbars, they are all over the place, but if you stay in the main channel you should be good, theres a bunch of timber coming down the river right now, if you really want to learn exactly where all the hazards are you should go with someone familiar with the river! If something doesn't look right to you stay the hell away!!! the dikes and wingdams will shear off your lower unit in a hurry!

I fish the River at least 3 times a week,Greatest place to fish in CT,You must be very careful but its not that bad,If you have Gps youll be fine when running stay in the whiteline that represents the channell,stay out of certain coves during dropping tides,Chapmans,whiteoaks,wrights,and sometimes keeney cove,you will get stuck in there.Stay out of Enfield all together,very shallow and Rocky,Floating debris is a issue at all times but especially during times of high water spring mostly.hope this helps.
