• Fishin' Factory 3-NE Freshwater (thefisherman.com) — If you're fishing near Haddam, catfish action is excellent right now on the Connecticut River at Eagle Landing State Park, with chunk eels, bluegills, and dead shiners working well. Anglers are also finding good largemouth bass fishing on local lakes and early fall bites for crappie and white perch along the river, as people look ahead to autumn trout stocking.
