Welcome to the Stage Steve. Nutz has made some excellent suggestions for locating out of the way places. Unfortunately much of Connecticut's water access is now in private hands. There's some river and stream access in state parks or forests, but many require hiking in. Any state parks with ponds or lakes have good access, but are crowded on weekends, as are the public lakes. Weekdays are much more enjoyable. I fish out of my boat 95% of the time so I'm sorry I don't have too much bank fishing info for you.
Check out Mount Tom, Lake Waramaug, Black Rock, Mansfield Hollow, and Bigelow Hollow state parks for lake access. Good Luck, Tight Lines, and remember that we love pictures.

Well, fishermen and sports fans, I have been a member since December 30, 2019, and have posted more than 1,000 stories of varying quality and interest to you. JR . With your age , not be mean or anything , your life experience
and story’s most likely are not in any ones else’s mind . So as they say when you go they go you can’t over write .

As of late, and consulting with close friends, we have discussed the timing and frequency of posting articles. Whether there are too many? I don’t choose to intentionally offend anyone but there is a difference is trying to offend and stating a personal belief.
But I do have a very active imagination and it wins out sometimes.

Now, if you have read this, don’t mutter your opinion, go on to the post, and write your opinion in a comment. I take all comments seriously and sincerely solicit your opinion, comment, or suggestions. Please don’t dodge this request. Just Sayin…RJS
