Is this lake off limits to fishing? I noticed it is located in a Centennial Watershed (not really sure what that is, but it sounds important) area that is closed off to hunting, but is it also off limits for fishing?

Thanks!

clearly no lake in ct is off limits.

it would appear that you can illegaly fish lakes in ct, and pay either a small fee by chance, or more than likely have nothing happen. landowners really are powerless in the long run to stop you, and state enforcement officers are spread so thinly across the state that you would be hard pressed to be caught with an armfull of paddlefish while walking down the capitol steps, let alone in some remote watershed such as the above mentioned.

let us know how you make out. better yet, lets take my boat!

clearly i jest...

Also part of the huge Kelda land purchase the State made a few years ago. This land could possibly be open to fishing and hunting someday. There currently is no real reason you shouldn't be able to fish besides the rules haven't changed after millions werre spent with public money.

I dont think the water co sold the lake. the land around some of this area is open to hunting but i'm almost certain that aquarian is still the only owner of the water front
