That's been a popular spot forever. I remember going there with my grandfather 40 years ago.

Reply to 10 Quirky Facts About Connecticut That Sound Made Up, But Are 100% Accurate by Kingdavid100
Surprised to learn New Haven and Hartford were co capitals in 1701. Never heard that one.
The pickle law is bogus though, basic attribution error. It's like saying that, because a drunk driver was once convicted on evidence that he fell down after getting out of the car, "Connecticut law requires drivers to be able to stand up." The actual law says a driver can't be impaired, falling down was the proof.
The actual pickle law was an agricultural standard for produce requiring fitness for human consumption, mushy pickles that splatted onto the floor was the proof.

Great place to meet people and fishing buddies to split expenses with on trips. Well worth the $15 a year membership

Depends on the type of fishing. I’m a fishing guy and we have very nice trout and salmon parks rivers streams ponds all that. We have a huge stocking program for all types of fish so take part. For salt everywhere is good. Any body of saltwater in Connecticut will most likely have porgies really tasty and fun to catch. Also competive fish like bluefish and strippers are fun to catch but are tricky. Hope this helps feel free to ask more questions here!

Yes, I always find the best way to welcome someone into my hobby is to keep information from them so as to not ruin my own experience.

I’m a fly fisher and the West Bank of the Farmington River, around New Hartford and north is some of the best fly fishing in the region.

Spring and fall trout stocking statewide. Hit the rivers when it gets warmer. You can also check on the DEEP website of where they stock. If you type in like 2023 trout stocking ct in google it’ll come up

I'm normally ice fishing now, but... yeah.. Managed to go last weekend in Goshen.
In the spring I break out my fishing kayak. There are a number of lakes and ponds worth checking out. Candlewood is a premier bass fishery. Can also do some great inshore fishing in the Sound. CT river also has great variety with striper and shad runs.

You can go fishing by the Stevenson dam. Sometimes you get lucky and see eagles flying over the river! Saw one glide on the river while my husband and I were fishing with some of his friends.

You will find a better deal on a starter setup at Cabela's vs Amazon. For 35 bucks you can get a rod, reel, and basic tackle. While you are there you can get licenced at customer service. I would say get an all waters licence so you can fish freshwater and saltwater. Get a setup now and start practicing casting in your yard or a park with a weight on the end. It will be a lot less frustrating learning how to cast and retrieve without other people and trees to get tangled up in.

DEEP website has lots of info on where to go how to fish etc. Also license sales.
Please don't litter and abuse our habitat.

Did you look at the Amtrak auto train? They ought to be able to run your car down to some point on the East Coast of Florida, I would think. I have family in FL that takes the auto train to NY each summer, so they don't have to drive all the way up from FL to NY.
Not sure what Amtrak charges, though.
