we went to deep pond in arcadia forest oppening day a flyfishing only pond,in years past we have always did great there,this year was a great dissapointment,i caught 4 trout largest being 12 inches,my buddy was skunked.we heard rumors that the state lost over 70,000 fish that were in the 2 + pound range, in the begginning of the year due to a power outage,and wouldnt have an effect on this years stocking,but it seems like it did.or since they closed one flyfishing pond down and only 2 left,they put more fish in the heavely fished areas?who knows,all i know is that everyone there wasn't doing well at all.its hard to believe that conn.might be a better place to fish than rhode island this year.well atleast i got out and tried my new flyline and was happy with that.just look forward to oppenning day in ct.
