Rivers End - Old Saybrook

STRIPED BASS- With the rains and snow of the past week the Connecticut River will be flooding for about another week. This is generally an annual occurrence and not the end of the spring bass run. The reports of people fishing over the last week have been scant. There were some schoolies in the upper part of Hamburg Cove, that going to be one of the first parts of the River to clean up. To quote Yogi Berra, I hate to make predictions, especially about the future. I think that by mid-week they'll be fishable conditions and bass along Great Island and the mouth of the Lieutenant River. For the next few days there should be stripers taking worms at the DEP Piers. The bass in the Thames have been spreading out from Norwich Harbor and are starting to look for herring. It may pay to take a ride east and try the Pawcatuck River and the West Wall off Jerusalem RI.

FLOUNDER- Not a report has come in over the last week. A few fellows tried but no one came back with a positive word. There should be a few flats to be had at Niantic.

BLACKFISH- Again we haven't heard much this week due to weather. Its time, and the season end at the end of the month.

HOURS- We'll be open at 4am for opening day Saturday, April 21st. Hours next week will be Sunday:5am-4pm, Mon–Fri:6am-6pm, Sat:5am-5pm
