I fish the Ct. river in May. I don't use eels. I use pencils, big swimmers and Danny's, and two years ago in the fast water by the dam, I was nailing 'em on bottles. The 3 oz Gibbs parrot ones, to be exact.
I caught them on bomber types, at the same location.
I have caught them from the shore, on chunks, further down, towards Cromwell. Oh, one other lure that works well, is the Gag's Slammer. With the Alewife's being in the river, the lures work well.
