Rick, the only fish that stay year round in the river up to Enfield are small schoolies in the 12-16" range and not very many at that. Some fish will return in October to winter over in the power plant discharges. Jenn, there are still fish to be caught, I took three this morning to 20lbs and broke off two others (time to change the whiplash). This week could prove to be the last of the spring season on the river.

Well I think I am going to TRY a certain spot (hopefully nobody will mind me there HA!HA!) wednesday, we will see what becomes of it!

I was kind of shying away from S.Hadley area because I have heard it is really crowded and I am not to familiar with the area to begin with (ok...call me chicken poop) and like the idea of being closer to home....

Jenn, nothing wrong with being comfortable with the area you are going to fish. Matter of fact, probably the best thing you can do is to be comfortable where you are wetting your line...

Just wondering how you did Jenn? I have heard that the only places they are catching fish are at S hadley and at the wall in Chicopee. I am headed there this sat most likely and hope there are still some fish around though I have heard it is dying fast. hold on a few more days for me guys!! I'll let ya go!

Hi! went out wednesday night....didnt have any luck myself (it was more of a get out and scope some spots for future use!!) but anyway...I didnt see anyone catching but there sure were a lot of boats out there!! and plenty on shore too! My bro-in-law told me a friend was still catching herring the other day but didnt say exactly where. Saw lots of "floaters"

At least it felt good to be by the water (even though it was STINKIN HOT!!!!! ) no fish but I think I have found a nice spot!! even if it is freshwater! HA!HA!HA!

good luck to all this weekend....and TRY to keep cool!

I'm glad you said that... sometimes rivers contain other species of "floaters", :P hehehehe

mmmmm....hmmmmmm....

I remember the lovely days when I would join my father on the boat fishing the ct river and you would end up with ....um......clumps of ....err...ahh.....how you say??? Tissue????? !!!!!!!!!!!! on your line!! Hoo! HA! YUCKA!

you know what is really strange?? since we are on the subject.....it was a few years ago...but any way...

I remember reading a report on the water quality on the CT, and believe it or not...to make a long story short...that the river was actually CLEANER in MA than in parts of VT!! This has boggled my mind ever since I read that!!

ok....this subject really STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O
