BROWN TROUT !!!!!

This spot is located off RT 67 its known to be a dog park to most and a trout hot spot to others but be aware that your area for travel is limited due to the O&G corporation and the woodbury/southbury rod & gun club, this means nothing due to the location of this monster being caught, after you find the pomperaug river crosses RT 67 the park is immediately on the right hand side of the street make that right and just follow the road untill you see the signs that say no dog park users beyond this point and take a right onto a semi dirt road, follow the road which is only about 200 yards and park your car streight ahead and when you go to look for the river it is on the opposing side of the trees and bushes walk streight to the water then follow it up stream to find a key area where the river has sort of a river pond if you will where the rapids run fast and seem to relax for a stretch of about 80 or 90 feet you will notice this area has a cliff like section where you can visually see it is pretty deep, this means your there !!!! Usually this spot is great for me with the use of meal worms but this time i tried out something different and made out tremendously i used an old school 99 cent johnson sprite spoon if you are unfamiliar with this item it is an oversized silver kastmaster spoon and it did the trick !!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ATTEMPT !!!!!
