 Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 2:28 pm Post subject: Are there fresh water fish in the lower housatonic? |
 |
|
| I am talking about below the Dam in Derby around RT 8 bridge. I know mainly people are fishing for salt water fish like striped bass and bluefish. However, I like to use my fresh water lures from shore. Can you catch lake bass, perch and sunnies there? Will a Rapala Original Floating Lure catch anything there? Thanks for your help. New to fishing so still trying to learn. |

There are Lrge Mouth, SmallMouth < more in the naugatuck, sunnies, perch pike...freshwater species all the way down to at least the island. I havnt found any huge numbers but i commonly caught largemouth all around fire island when i was a kid. there is a lot of smallies in the naugatuck.
