Some good urban fishing locations upriver for bass, trout, carp and panfish. I've had evenings where I've landed 20lbs. of bass in an hour. Check out updated video reports during the season on my blog @ redneckangler.blogspot.com. No BS, I'll show you the bite.

It has a total length of 38 miles (61 km) and a drainage area of approximately 165 square miles (427 km²). There are four dams, most of which are old remnants, that impede boat travel. The first dam is about 1/2 mile south of Plantsville, the second dam is at the southeast corner of Hanover Pond in South Meriden, the third dam is in northeast Yalesville, and the fourth dam is at the south end of Community Lake in Wallingford. Paddling is a frequent recreational activity along the Quinnipiac River, especially within the tidal marsh in North Haven. Additionally, the tidal variation extends approximately 14 miles (23 km) upriver from its mouth.
