Walleye
Walleye in central Connecticut? Absolutely! While not as abundant as other species, Meriden provides access to waters holding Walleye. The Mattabesset River, flowing nearby, and the Connecticut River, a short drive away, both offer Walleye fishing. Spring and fall are key times, particularly during the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods when Walleye are more active. Look for them in deeper pools and near rocky structures. Jigging with minnows or using crankbaits that mimic baitfish are effective tactics. A local tip: focus on areas where the Mattabesset River enters the Connecticut River; this confluence often holds Walleye. Be aware that Walleye fishing can be challenging, requiring patience and persistence. The Walleye population isn't huge, so catch-and-release is encouraged to help maintain the fishery. Check local regulations, as there may be specific size and creel limits for Walleye.
