[Edit: A late report, Sunday, 24.April] I fished at Bissell from 1-5:pm. The usual suspects were working the water, which was up a little from last week. The water was clear and quick. Breeze varied between N-NW,and really wasn't a factor, unlike last week when it ripped up from Hartford.
Shad were scattered but a small school would come through ever so often, and provide a little action. I had a hit and miss but managed my vitamin shad (one-a-day) a small buck before 5.
Terminal tackle: 3/4 oz drail over 4'Flouro leader, and a bunch of different willows. Chartreuse produced for me in the end.
