The salmon are in at the Magalloway Bridge between Second Connecticut Lake and First Connecticut Lake as of yesterday morning. The flow as of a couple of days ago was at 300 CFS, but was dropped down to 69 CFS today, so the fish may drop back to First Lake if that remains so. Hopefully the rain in the forecast this weekend will help boost the flow and keep those salmon running up the river.
The trout fishing on Back Lake has also been very good this week for those trolling with small spinners and streamers, and the landlocked salmon fishing on both Lake Francis and First Connecticut Lake has been very good (as it usually is) over this past week. Once again, streamers and hardware seem to be producing on the big lakes.
Our fly shop is now open, and we have boats in the water for rent on Back Lake. Give us a call at 1-800-835-6343 if you want to take one for a spin.
The season has really kicked off now – what are you waiting for?
