This Week's Fishing Report

The Connecticut River remains well below typical August levels and the summer doldrums are beginning to set in. Largemouth Bass are providing some action in the coves from below Hartford to the Haddam area. Smallmouth Bass are being caught in the South Windsor/Enfield area on jigs, worms and on black caddis flies. Try wacky rigged Senko worms. Tube worms (4”) on jig heads are also producing. Target these aerial acrobats at dusk and be prepared for some great action.

Northern Pike are hard to find. Striped Bass action in the lower river is slow with some fish being boated. Catfish are being taken at night on cut bait and chicken liver. Carp fishing on homemade baits continues to be good for those willing to pre-bait their “swims” (fishing areas).
