 |
|
Hey all,
I just moved to the area and I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out the rules and regs in CT, specifically Eureka. Couldn't find anything online.
I headed out there today and found no posted signs or no fishing signs so I mozied on out down the peninsula there and it was awesome. What a convenient place to fish from!
My real question is, can I fish there with just a license or do I need to get a Reservoir license as well??
Also does my NY license work in CT or is that just for Marine aka Saltwater ( I was assuming it did work  )
Thanks all! BK |

Never heard of Eureka Lake.
State regulations can be found at www.ct.gov/dep
NY State all waters license can only be used for CT saltwater. If fishing freshwater in CT you need an out of state license seeing you live in NY. |

Its a decent size lake in the corner of Danbury that Bethel uses I think. From what I can find there is a pump house on it or something like that. I've only seen it referred to as a reservoir once. I know NY has wacky laws about Reservoirs so I just wanted to make sure I don't get locked up by the DEC or DEP (or whoever it is out this way) for fishing some sacred waters. If it were up to me I would make people stock their swimming pools and open it to the public.
Guess I'll have to go spend the 55 bucks on my out of state license.... sigh |

| There are sign sayin no tresspassing and is run by bethel waterworks. Bethel PD do come time to time and give out tickets or tow your car if they cant find you. I had a $250 ticket 2 months ago. Fish at your own expense |

Michael,
Indian lake is on the NY and Ct. boarder.
I know you can use NY or Ct all water fishing license there.
Think there's one more lake ...Will have to check the Angler's Guide.

Just looked online at the 2013 Angler's Guide and found Indian Lake to be the only public lake where you can use a NY and CT license. |

BK im local
a couple years back we were told u need a bethel res permit since its owned by bethel
I havnt got stopped since
guys ice fish it with no problems either
I suggest bringing a book bag or some sort of tackle box (no grocery bags etc).I figure if you have a drink or some food (fast food or what ever) you have a better chance of getting stopped especially here since they are strict with leaving garbage / fishing line.
A lot of nice largemouth in there, some okay size pickerel, decent crappie and perch as well as bullhead.
Watch out for snakes though
