PIKETOBERFEST XVI will be held on Sunday, Oct. 22, 2017.
Mark your calendars now!
We're mixing it up and fishing a new body of water this year - Lake Lillinonah (at the steel bridge launch).
Check back later for sign-up, food threads, etc.
Who will take home the coveted prize this year?
Let's get a big group this year!

Ah, interesting concept and good idea. I don't see any reason why we'd have to limit it to just Lilly. As long as the person made it back to Lilly on time at the end, I think that would be fine. But let me just confirm that with Paul Dona to make sure he agrees and I'm not missing something. Thanks, Mike.

Saltwater CTFers allow anywhere on LIS as long as you make set place for weigh in time. Open up your minds unleaded water guys.
BTW....I have been to a few Piketoberfests (including 2016), and I'm not in any group pics I can see.....#Deleted ....freakN Mitch/BigBrotha editorialist

Hmmmm. I am torn. My gut is to limit to Lilli but up to you Mitch. I am launching at Steel Bridge and there isn't money at stake so whatever. I just am pumped it's Lilli just for the change, and yes the ride too!!!
CHANGE IS SCARY BUT IT IS REWARDING ON THE OTHER SIDE!
SURELY MISS MY CTF FRIENDS BUT ALWAYS WILL BE HERE TO GIVE ALL A HARD TIME!

Don't we do this to help the DEEP collect data? Aren't there tagged pike in Lilli that are stocked VS. the naturally spawning ones? Will we need to be shown the difference?
I like the idea of 1 location, keeping CTFer's together. There is no money involved, only bragging rights and the highly coveted paddle, and mugs. I have no clue even where Lilli is and never fished it. This will be awesome! Bring back the party barge and balloon launcher!!

The lake is broke down into 3 places to launch in the fisheries guide. Which launch is the steel bridge?
Thinking hard about this, it's a real long ride from Suffield.... May bring the yak.

Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Been a while since we've seen you at Piketoberfest. Don't overthink it. Just come.
There are quite a few nice, protected coves and shores to fish from a yak.
Plus, we need as many CT anglers to prevent an out-of-stater like Bob from taking home the prize.
True
