I'm going to be enrolled as a student at Post University next fall. I'm an avid bass fisherman hailing from Eastern Pennsylvania. I've never gotten the chance to fish the area in or surrounding Waterbury. I know I'm 45 minutes from salt water fishing.

I would just like some information on lakes, rivers, ponds, anything holding a bass that can be somewhere I can fish when I'm at college. Any local rules, regulations? Anything on bass fishing near waterbury would be of help to me.

I think Candlewood Lake is the biggest lake in Connecticut. It's just north of Danbury and about 20 miles from Post University. It's surrounded by a lot of other big fishing lakes. I wish I lived closer to it.

Mad places around that area. Like Phil said plus lake zoar, The housatonic which is the same to me. lil place dang forgot the name but its down the street from balleys. its a state park. lakewood in dirty water holds fish not to much but they got some they got some big ass catfish too. i know alot of small rivers in the area but those are hush hush.... Always fish in the holes when i go so imma leave it at that. When you get your license get the book and look for local places around there.Hop brook thats whats the closet to you...

Scoville Lake on Wolcott /Waterbury line is pretty good. Decent size bass and trout plus the occasional bowfin
