New fishing kayaker in central CT. I was hoping that someone could provide some nice beginning lakes, ponds, etc.. to start out in. Looking for info on easy launch areas and parking.

Also, what equipment do you feel is essential to get started, outside from the obvious.

Thanks!

Some spots local to the Middletown area I'd recommend are:

Dooley Pond in Middletown
Crystal Lake in Middletown
Black Pond in Meriden

All have traditional boat launches and parking areas

Depends on where you are, up near me in northern CT:

Black Pond, Woodstock
Bigelow Pond, Union
Halls Pond, Eastford

All smaller lakes with very little boat traffic.

As far as equipment nothing special needed. PFD and fishing gear. Good luck and have fun.

All sound good, thanks for the help.

A Hawg Trough measuring board. When you catch a fish, you can lay it across your lap or the cockpit, and use it to measure and/or photograph your fish.
