The dam work was suppose to be done in December. Did the complete it? Does anyone know when the plan is to refill the lake? Will the pond be stocked? I miss fishing that place.

Im with you. One of my favorite spots. I doubt the state will invest a single penny to restock the lake. I drive by daily checking my fur traps. Looks to still be very much in progress.

I'm unaware of this situation but will look into it. I just looked at the Town of Griswold's website (see below). It does not say when DEEP will refill the pond. It looks like Pachuag will get re-filled in mid march. http://www.griswold-ct.org/ Look under state of CT press releases, DEEP and public health notices.
that place will take years to come back if it ever does....such a shame...........they better stock it with some breeders.....my friend said he saw many 5 and 6 # bass floppin in mud after they drained it.....why could nt they save these fish or pull them out instead of rotting on the bank....i live rite down the road and probably will never fish there again...fished there months ago thought we would have caught some..... all dinks...at least you know the structure now..........if it ever comes back from the ice age......

Not to mention all the Googins that went down at low water to rape all the big bass! I hiked the whole thing a month ago. Nothing left but a bunch of small pickerel and perch. I saw a few bass but small ones and a few white perch. Natural predation is doing a number on what's left also. Wait till the cormorants show back up, It'll be game over.......
