November Trout Trifecta: Revisiting the Pequabuck 

Thats amazing two tigers out of that river

Great video! Can’t wait for spring, summer and fall 2022!

That's a exceptionally clear day for the Pequabuck. I fished that since before it was stocked. It's a true success story on river recovery!! That river used to change colors daily from greens to silvers and pure black at times 30+ years ago. OZ Gedney was a electrical casting company that made outlet boxes and other electrical stuff but they'd dump their chemicals and silica cast leftovers in the river. The original study trout found their way into the Pequabuck by coming down from Wolcott's Jacklyn rod and gun club pond when they rebuilt the dam . Back then my buddy and I never saw anyone else fishing it for the first few years we fished it !! You wouldn't believe the responses we would get from other locals that would see us fishing it. They'd always assume we weren't from the area cause nobody from Bristol would've dared fished it back then remembering how bad it was. You weren't far from areas we used to catch 3 and 4 pounders out of there. Funny thing is we rarely fushed it from the side you were fishing from cause if the sun casting our shadows on the water. Great to see it is doing so well cause I haven't fished it in several years now cause pressure got so ridiculous from spin fisherman and just some really bad characters we'd run into. Make sure your car is locked up when fishing there thats about all I'll say negatively about my hometown . However theres also some great locals and really good food to be found in Bristol if ya know where to go !! My buddy and I pretty much stick to the Farmington and Housatonic river now. But do miss the ease of fishing a river of that size, and the hit and run pool fishing it allows ! It's one of those smaller rivers you can work in its entirety in a day just about. Everyone fishes it from Rt.229 and Rt.72 upwards missing out all of that water you were fishing. But like I said most people fish it from Memorial Blvd. and upriver through Rockwell park. Theres also some awesome little holes to fish above the park and in the West end of Bristol but that's where you really need to lock up and even watch your back too unfortunately. But once up into Rockwell park that chills out some. Theres a section underground in the west end that must hold some lunker just cause nobody can access the culvert it runs through for a quarter mile or so !! I'd gladly hook up on the river with you to show you some of those hidden gem pools that are on it I know of ! Just reach out to me on the comments and set up a meeting spot CtAngler ?

That’s one of my favorite stretches of the pequabuck river. A little noisy lol but always fish to be caught.

Terrific video and narration. Enjoy fishing for both wild and stocked. Keep up the great work!!

Awesome video as always 😎

Just discovered your channel. Great videos on CT waters and other New England locations. Look forward to more of your videos.

Love your videos man.

Yet another quality video. Really love the clear , crisp and colorful footage. And , of course the beautiful trout! Really cool looking Tiger Trout also! Especially the second one . Gorgeous mottling pattern on it. Great fighters indeed! I ve never had the opportunity to cross paths with one before. So , this was really cool! And. Thanks for the usual tips and tricks that you give to us also. You make really fun and educational videos. Somehow , keep it going well into this cold winter please! Lol! Tightlines!

I fished 🐟 at those concrete blocks and have seen some large trout in that deeper pool .I had one on my line but it got away 😪 enjoy seeing your video thanks

So glad to see you fly fishing in that spot after using spinning gear there last time

ive caught many fish in that stretch of the river. the pequabuck has gotten so much better from when i was young.

Great video! Fished that 1st stretch last month with no luck. Last spring post stocking, I landed a bunch up just below the bridge. It's a nice little urban stream. Stay warm, before we know it we'll be abound in late winter stocking!!

Nice size of that creek, technical but not Tiny

Another great video! Always enjoy them. Hope you get back to the Pequanick (did I spell that right?) this winter.

Nice! A good video to watch on an almost zero degree winter evening.

Nice to see those Tiger Trout. How do you like your Lamson Liquid Reel. I just ordered a Lamson Liquid 3+ for a Redington Classic Trout 7'6" 3 wt. rod to fish small streams.

Another great video! If you keep up this kind of quality filming and deliver on a consist basis through the years, I can easily see you hitting a million subscribers in due time. With that said, I agree with you completely about stocked trout. I love fishing for them just as much as I love fishing for wild trout.

I have been fishing this portion a lot recently and 2 days ago I caught a tiger that I almost mistaken for a brown because of his less defined marking in the same pool. I wonder if it was the same fish! He was pissed off lol

What are your thoughts on going out angling this January? I'm itching to get out there but fear it's too cold. But as they say, you miss 100% of shots you don't take.
