As for Fairfield County when fishing local I hit the Saugatuck Reservoir. It has been a tough bite there this year. The water levels are super high compared to last year, and you are limited to shore fishing only, that includes no wading.
I have caught trout, largemouth, and smallmouth (which last week I felt were either spawning or prespawning), and perch. You do need a special permit to fish there, and they do check. I have yet to catch a walleye which are supposedly in there, but all the anglers I talk to say they never catch one. |

go to candlewood bait shop you can by a day permit for 5 or 15 i forget o a years permit.
I am not sure how much those are
by being a computer tech thats how
when u are posting look to the right of the words "message body"
Img - pics
Url - so that the url yyou post can be a clickable link
youtube - to post a youtube vid
post the link
www.youtlink.com<-- highlight that
pc's you would hold the left button on your mouse and drag it over the entire url
then you click the button of your choice depending on if you are trying to show
a pic, url, or youtube vid
highlight it and hit the button img (for pic) or the youtube (for youtube vids)

| Its a shame you cant bring a kayak in the saugatuck res, ive never fished it but there has to be some MASSIVE largemouth in there if you really look for them possibly a state record or two |

There are nice size largies in there.
Did you travel through much of the woods?
Im trying to avoid as many tick bites as possible. It seems pretty bad this year
