you could just use the rockyhill ferry launch to get to that part of the river steve, 5-10 min. ride south in your bassboat!

Hi Phil,

Came across this site on the Mattabesset.
Thought you'd be interested in it.
Worth a look see and maybe try going up river from the Saw Mill Pub!

I posted a link to that canoeing guide, above, Stephen. The section of the Mattabesset by the Saw Mill Pub is narrow and shallow. At low tide, you have to launch over a muddy flat. The crude launching area was made of cinderblocks, boulders and scrap wood the last time that I was there. That's why I prefer to get into the Mattabesset from the Connecitcut.

Hi Phil,

Don't remember seeing that link, but not surprised you had checked the launch site out near Saw Mill Pub.

That up river section north of the Pub is much more clear and where I would sometimes hit into a Searun Brown.
Haven't been there in a while!
