Actually I was the one being guided around the Farmington area today. Keith has been helping me on a project having to do with Inland Fisheries and I wanted to get up his way to compare notes, etc. so he decided to take me to some of his super secret spots.
The first stop was one of the prettiest little streams I have seen here in Ct. and it was full of natives so we caught a couple C&R and then moved on to one of his private ponds which is the remnants of a sand mining operation. The water temps were too cold for a good bite. Keith used some larger baits and got bit by some big largemouth and I was fishing salted fathead minnows and catching the smaller ones but you could tell this pond was a hot spot once the water warmed up a bit more.
I happen to love the Farmington River but it is too far for me to normally take the time to do a trip. Since I was there I asked if there was a spot that might have some trout left in it. So off again to some out of the way spot that was a really beautiful stretch of deep glides and pools. No one there except some dog walkers. We fished live shiners, salted fatheads and butter worms. It started slow but a move upstream about 30 yards made all of the difference in the drift and we quickly put five nice trout on the bank for Keith's smoker tomorrow. If we had stayed longer we could have scratched out some more but it was time for lunch. This was in a lower area of the Farmington River that I had never been to before.
The rest of the afternoon was spent comparing notes on fishing and hunting and eating pizza and hoagies. Not a bad way to spend the first really nice day of the spring. You can always learn new things and get new ideas and today was no different. Thanks Keith for being a great guide today.
