This is my first post on here although I've been following for years. Anyways, living in Chicago now, I get out to beautiful Connecticut twice a year and next week is one of them. Mainly Squantz Pond(where I have family) and a little bit of Candlewood during the week when its not as busy. I was wondering if anyone has fished Squantz recently and is willing to report what they've seen. I've fished Squantz for about 30 years now and I know the lake inside and out so I'm not looking for spots or honey holes. I just wanna know where the smallies are in terms of the spawn, water temps and if the trout are still active. Last year I got out there the week after memorial day and STRUGGLED to find adult Largemouth/Smallmouth but probably hooked 60+ walleye (up to 8lbs) and even the first pickeral I've seen on squantz since 1998. It was very odd to say the least. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am a 100% catch and release angler for what its worth. Its basically a week of nostalgia and fishing spent with my dad. Thanks in advance and I have plenty of info about squantz to share if anyone cares to listen(mostly about the north side of the lake where not many people seem to venture).

Hi Pete-

I was out this evening with my son for about 2hrs. Water temp was 64. Saw some trout jumping and small schools of alewife. We didn't have any luck though. We did venture up north for the first time and fished a few docks and found some nice weed beds on the western shore. I was mainly checking out my new motor and scouting spots for future trips so i wasn't too upset about the skunk. I've never had much luck there...I'm sure there are nice bass in there, I just haven't found them yet. Best of luck on your trip back east and feel free to PM me with any tips Wink

Thanks,

Steve
