lake williams, Lebanon CT Fishing Report

Camping At Lake Williams 2012

spent a three day camping trip a lake williams capmground, fly fished each day. i was with my dad, uncle, and their buddy, but they used conventional tackle for the most part. we all went out in our yaks and they managed to scrape together a few largemouth bass by using soft plastics such as lizards and blue worms they rigged weedless. i used flys that imitate bait fish, hoping for large mouth and pickeral seeing as there are not any trout in lake williams. i had great luck with purple, light blue, and bright yellow colored flies picking up sixteen decent pickeral, i caught one small one being only ten inches but the rest ranged from fourteen to eighteen inches long. i also caught one pumpkin seed in a cove i deemed "pickeral cove" because every time i fished it i caught at least two pickeral. the pumpkin seed weighed nearly a pound and i had never seen one that thick or large before.
