Hi Guys!
Greenwich and Stamford?
Not much there!
You'll have to check the Ct. Angler's Guide for waters closest to you which will be most likely further north of your location.

Hi Cartman!
NO! Camping is not allowed at Candlewood!
For camping and other Ct. outdoor recreational info -> Google up (Ct. DEP)
OR -> search the Internet for any information you need, It's easy!

gonna try putnam lake tomorrow and I guess gonna go to candlewood sometimes during the week. I need a place where you can fish and maybe camp over night, not too far away.
P.S. There is Toll Gate Pond here in Greenwich, but its all green now (not sure how to explain, I'm foreign) Wonder if you can clean it |

Any way you could get a canoe or a kayak? Then you won't be restricted to just shore spots. Once you're able to get around a lake you'll hardly ever go back to shore fishing.

Are you talking about the one thats right next to merrit parkway ? How do you fish if its all covered ? I tried a couple of days ago and I couldnt catch even a sunfish there anymore |

Cartman, Like I already mentioned you really need a kayak or a canoe to hit these lakes because the access is limited due to properties lining the shore. Like it or not you are really limiting yourself to your fishing doing it from shore because prime fishing spots are not always where access is and having something to float in will enable you to go and find those fish rather than waiting for them to come to you.

Whats the difference between kayak and canoe ? Can it be for 2 person ? Is there a high chance of flipping over ? |
