Walleye
If you're after Walleye near Newtown, CT, your best bet is heading to Lake Zoar. This large reservoir is one of the few places in the state that supports a decent Walleye population. Spring and fall are the prime times to target them, as they tend to be more active in cooler water temperatures. Spring, especially around the spawn in April, can be particularly productive. Focus on rocky points, submerged humps, and areas near the dam. Trolling crankbaits or jigs tipped with live bait are effective techniques. A fish finder is crucial for locating structure and schools of baitfish. Be aware that Lake Zoar can get busy, especially on weekends, so plan accordingly. The Shepaug Dam boat launch provides good access to the main lake. Walleye in Lake Zoar can be challenging to catch, as they are often deep and the water clarity can vary. Fishing at dawn and dusk can increase your chances of success. Check the CT DEEP regulations for size and creel limits, as they can differ from other species.
