Got there around 3 p.m...the water was choppy yet shallow, with a lot of green slimy stuff everywhere. I kept anchoring in spots that turned out to be 3 feet deep. I did catch a bass on soft plastic early on. Most of my time was spent cleaning slime off my anchor and trying to not cast into the path of multiple beavers.

Apparently the reservoir closes at sunset, but I "didn't see the posted sign," so I stayed well after dark. When the police showed up, I was near the launch. Thanks to their blinding searchlights, I was able to return to shore quickly. I was asked to show my driver's license, my fishing license, my boat registration, and my safe boater (limited durational) certificate. I've only been 100% legit since Wednesday...OMG all that $ I gave to the DEP/DMV actually paid off!

This isn't much of a "Lake Report" but I can confirm that Wethersfield Reservoir contains at least one bass, a lot of slime, and about 300 beavers. And it closes at sunset.

Damn Kira!! Good thing you had all the required paper work or they would have probably written you a ticket. Yeah the sign on one side of the gate says "Closes at Sunset until 8:00 AM" and the Parks Dept locks the gate everynight. Been there and have caught my share of some good ones there. The only thing is all the good spots are on the other side which is only accessable by boat.

that place use to be a goldmine now it is a toilet. It needs some attention badly as it is very choked up. I wish our town would invest in a aerator and dredge it again. Also, they should restrict it to residents only as it is a small pond that can't handle the pressure it gets now. Every year that place gets worse. It is a shame.

The cops are pretty funny though. I can't tell you how many times they got on their megaphones and called me off the water.
