I guess I'll comment on this thread, ive been watching it for a little while now
as some of you guys know, I live not more than 2 minutes from woodridge. Im blessed to know ALOT of residents on the lake, most non fisherman, although I have a few friends that are. I myself used to live on the lake when I was a kid, and wish I still did.
Like stripertime stated (I feel like we may know each other..) the lake still has massive muskie, and was just stocked this spring with more. Its had walleyes since before the assosiation started stocking them (drop downs from tyler) and the fishery is quite sustainable for them.
I get the chance to fish the lake fairly often, however when I do, I never target the muskie. Why? Because the guys that live on the lake pay litterally out of their own pockets to put those fish in there(the assosiation didn't help with this stocking to my knowledge).
I'm a guest, and even though I can target them when I go, I choose not to, and leave them for the paying members. There are plenty of bass, perch, crappie, and of course, walleye to target.
One last thing: its private. very private. and trust me, you dont wanna get caught fishing there without a member. but if you know someone who belongs to the association, go fishing with them, its a beautiful lake.
back on topic now with the muskie in CT
the housy river lakes would be the best option IMO for a healthy, breeeding population. they're deep, have a little current, and plenty of forage. But thats just my uneducated opinion
