why do they regulate that? I fish for strictly recreational purposes and return each catch to where it came from. am I upsetting the ecosystem in anyway?

I don't know why its closed. Maybe because they stock it with walleye?

I believe it comes down to property rights/liablity issues. Even though it is in Farmington/New Brittian, the city of Hartford owns it, hence the issue.

I think it doesn't freezes well thats why its closed during the winter. Actually from Halloween to the 3rd Satuday in April. People tell me its full of springs.

It's full of 4-inch bass, from my experience.

Batterson got monster walleyes in there. For me I go to Batterson to just drive around and troll minnow raps. Easily catch a dozen perch or white perch or both and if you go at the right time you can catch a walleye. I've been fishing there since the summer of 08 and so far I've caught 6 walleyes from 11 to 16 inches but I know theres bigger because I seen a guy land a monster had to be 25 plus.The only time I caught bass was on frogs. Last year someone caught a 4 pound largie from there in early spring.
