A Connecticut warmwater lake or pond — largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, black crappie and sunfish, most with a state boat launch.
Norwich Falls Pond covers about 15 acres in the Mystic Coast & Lower CT Valley region. Anglers here mostly fish for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch; black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead are also on record.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Connecticut on inland waters; some Trout Management Areas and Trout Parks have their own posted seasonal or catch-and-release hours — check current DEEP signage for that specific reach.
Boats: The larger lakes and reservoirs (Candlewood, Lillinonah, Zoar, Bantam, Squantz Pond) take a trailered boat via a CT DEEP launch; most stocked ponds and Trout Management Area river reaches are car-top, wading or bank access only.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at Connecticut state parks and forests near many of these waters (several in the Litchfield Hills and Quiet Corner); DEEP boat launches themselves are day-use only.
Tackle: Statewide trout limits and gear rules vary by water — many Trout Management Areas and Wild Trout Management Areas require artificial lures/flies only and a reduced or catch-and-release limit. Bass, pickerel and panfish limits are the general statewide limits unless posted otherwise. Check the current DEEP Anglers Guide for this specific water.
Anyone 16 or older needs a Connecticut inland fishing licence — the resident annual is about $28, the non-resident annual about $61 (a 3-day non-resident licence runs about $21). Anyone fishing specifically for trout or salmon also needs a Trout and Salmon Stamp (about $5). Residents 65 and older pay a reduced rate and anyone under 16 fishes free. Buy from CT DEEP at portal.ct.gov/deep. A Connecticut inland fishing licence covers this water — it sits on public land or has a documented public boat launch, though it's not on CT DEEP's trout-stocking list, so expect a resident warmwater fishery rather than stocked trout.
Every water carries species, bank & boat access, current regulations and live water conditions — and members get Swim Mapper, Catch Logger and Trip Planner. It's the only US map with a dedicated carp-water layer.
