Monday I decided to kill some time after getting home from doing some volunteer work in the morning. I actually rode my bike all the way to the TTA in Trumbull near Daniels Farm Rd in the cold breezy conditions. Got there around 12:30pm.
Hiked along the Pequonnock TTA for a while and hit a number of pools and deeper stretches with no luck. Stuck with my trusty brown trout Flat Rap FLR-6. Never saw anything swirl or follow. Saw a great blue heron and a kingfisher in the same area but didn't catch anything where they were.
Later I headed down to the Pequonnock at Beardsley Park just down from the ballfields. Threw a helsinki shad Husky Jerk HJ-6 there and tried a number of different jerk and pause retrieves but never saw any flashes or had any hits.
Gave the Wonderland of Ice a few casts and then tried casting the HJ-6 underneath the Chopsey Hill Rd tunnel but nothing came out from there.
Called it a day at 4:30pm |

| Mike, maybe you can keep a thing of nightcrawlers in your backpack? I know it's tough with the cold. I've always had MUCH better luck with bait presented in a slow manner during the winter for all fish species. Fish aren't in the same moods as they are to chase plugs in the summer. Just my 2 cents. |

I was thinking that Chris. What got me to use the FLR-6 was hitting the brown at the big pool a few weeks ago with it while Harvey didn't get anything with mealies. |
