dont forget that candlewood, like almost every lake in ct, is stocked with non native fish. even my beloved smallmouths arent from these parts.
which is all the more reason to throw some damn drum and bowfin in!
I'd like to hunt wild boar in Thomaston,think I'll bring up a truck load from Georgia and dump off on rte 254.I also likee the way asian carp jump out of the water,its funny seeing fisherman get hit in the head,they'd do good in say Bantam.
