Nevermind.....April 1 is opening season statewide. Which sucks, because I
will probaby be flying back here on March 31. Where can a guy fish during
the window of March 20-31 between Maine and DC?


Massachusetts, and I think PA.

Maine will be a left at end of exit down the hill on the left will be
Cole Wilde stste park or something like that...It is flyfishing only

upstream to Roaring Brook both ends are in Willington.......There is a
Pizza Parlor {one of the best in Ct} A small supermarket restaraunt gas

time off and joining you maybe some off the Mass gang can join us

Never been and would love to go. It would give me an excuse to get a CT
fishing license.

Sounds like a plan is forming! I'm looking into plane tickets, and could
probably make myself be in that area around the weekend of March 26/27. At
this early stage, it looks like the sweetspot in my timing will be the
24-26ish. Are folks limited to a weekend thingy?

I've got the25th off, and could likely find some time that weekend as
well. I fish the C&R area in the Willi fairly often. Include me in, if
y'all get anything going. Only word of caution....we appear to still be
in full winter mode here, so the day may be better spent at the pizza
shop.

But back to a more pertinent note. Seeing as its full-on winter still in the
NorthEast, what's the odds that it will be open water in 4 weeks? I know
that in a usual mid-Maine winter, we don't usually count on spring thaw
until early April, but I don't know about Connecticut winters, and I have no
instinct at all about this particular winter.

If Ye Old Farmer's Almanac and local wisdom say that its probably still
going to be a deep freeze by then, I might make better use of my limited
time to get my business done in Maine, and drive down to the DC area to
visit my Dear Ol' Mom, and leave a few days open to fish with the more
southernly boys. Not to insult my Yankee bretheren, but if the water ain't
open, it might might be hard fishing, and I only have a limited time.

Any guesses at what the situation will be there in mid March?

I probably can't handle the fishing part, but I could handle the hanging out
with my buddies part.

Farmers Almanac so says stormy 20-23.........24-27 fair
unsettled........Right now there is no ice on the river but it is quite
high the lakes are frozen over.......I quess we will have to play it by
ear.......Also March to April they stock at the bridge on 74 the fish
seem to move upstream so the fishing may or may not be good.......
