				I'm pretty confident that the first pond to freeze in CT is Wood Creek Pond in Norfolk. With that said, I have NOT been there this year.  But cold weather is in the forecast!!
 
Pickerel, LM bass, and panfish are the fare.  The elevation is high, the pond is shallow(4-6 feet), and the access is relatively easy(walk to the left over the dam).
 
Hopefully, this year, the CT community will share info instead of hiding it. I know people have there secret spots, and that is fine - if you want to keep your secrets close.  But when it comes to safety, there is no excuse for withholding info!!
 
See you on the ice soon. |

				| All the small ponds around my house are frozen, I have been told Mt. Tom and a few small ponds out in the northwest corner are frozen.  Winchester is good to go and the front of Highland I have heard is good.  What type of fish do you want to go for? |

				| Well if Candlewood was frozen over I'd tell you that was the best jigging spot in the state.  But unfortunately I don't think that is anywhere close. If you want to go for Pike south cove at Bantam is frozen. Winchester is frozen too. Front of Highland should be fine now.  Also I would check out some places in new York state that are close being that far west. |
