Muskie
Targeting muskie near Falls Village, Connecticut, requires understanding the unique character of the upper Housatonic River and its impoundments. This area offers a mix of classic muskie habitat, from slow-moving pools to rocky runs. Spring and fall are prime times, as muskie become more active with temperature changes and follow spawning baitfish. During warmer months, focus on deeper, cooler pockets and areas with submerged structure. A key local tip is to pay attention to water clarity after rainfall, as the Housatonic can become turbid quickly. When water is clear, natural-looking presentations like swimbaits or jerkbaits in perch or sucker patterns can be deadly. For access, the public boat launch at the Great Falls Dam offers a good starting point, but be mindful of strong currents and changing water levels.
