 |
|
Hi all. I'm working in New Britain and am new to the area. I'd love to find some good spots in and around New Britain where I could drop a line when I get the time... most likely after work.
Anyone know if there's access to fish the ponds along Rt.9 just South of New Britain? I pass by 'em every day and would love to float around and fish them. Same goes for the little pond at the Rt.9 / I-91N interchange.
Thanks in advance for any tips as to where I should head.

those ponds on the side of rt 9 are now (and have been since last summer) posted NO FISHING!
used to hit that place a lot...caught some nice bass outta there, both LMB and Calico. Even a fat perch or two. But if it's still posted no fishing- just don't get caught!!

| i think it is because you have to walk through the properties back there. if ur gutsy enuf ive seen people park on the exit take there boat off walk it down the side take the exit and walk back to the boat. i have a buddy who lives in the turnaround and he is always bringing his boat in there. |

| I fish there all the time. Park at the old brickyard and walk through the trails. Also before coming to those ponds on the right there another pond that doesn't look too deep and has a ton of brush in it. If you can get a little boat in there you are bound to catch one over four. All of those ponds hold quality fish |

| Yes, you can fish those ponds, Like Ryan said take old brickyard rd to the end, you will end up on the back side of Berlin Steel and be in the parking lot of Sherri cup, you can park there and walk to the ponds, watch out for ticks!!!, I have fished those ponds for years, and there are some nice fish in there!!, on the highway side it is posted but as far as I know it is not posted at Sherri cup and on the woods edge of the ponds, good luck, and watch out for those freakin ticks. If you have a canoe or small boat i would take it, just dont use a gas motor. |

| Agree with the ticks... Have been to those places with the kayaks and had great luck dont have pics cause havent been there this year but alot of fish. If you wanted to get some bigger and more varity fish i would go to the madabasset river dont know how to spell it but thats like 10 min further south on rt9. Great fishing has pike, bass, trout, and if you venture to the ct might even get a striper... |

Bigger fish? I have been in one of the ponds numerous times this year and seen two largemouth bass over seven pounds and one that was well over 8.. Floating right over matted weeds... I'm impressed usually by anything over four lbs but to see that quality in one pond alone is awesome
Hopefully I'll catch one this year... |
