Eastbury Pond...............many fond memories !!! Fished it ofton with my dad and friends when I was a kid,and it was always around opening day.Also spent many hot summer days swimming there.Hockey in the winter.


60% of all trout stocked are caught within the first two weeks of opening day.

I reapeat :
To me this seems like a great waste of a valuable resource. I would be a fool if I spent 60% of my annual income in a two week period.


My biggest problem is that so many trout are lost the first few weeks of the season.CT has the potential to create a world class trout fishery and is well on its way to doing so with the new regs,I just feel we can still do more to make it an even better.


I agree the traditon is nice and brings people together. But traditons change and new traditons are creatated for future generations to enjoy and carry on.
