I had a sonversation with one of the employees at the Fish Connection in Preston. He says he has hooked, but not been able to land, several pike below the Greenville Dam. I've read that pike can handle some 'brackishness' so it would not be too surprising to me that pike have been caught in the Thames. Since it is a tidal river the closer you get to the Shetucket and Yantic Rivers the less brackish and more fresh it is.

Thames River Description
The Thames River is a short river and tidal estuary in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It flows south for 15 mi. (25 km.) through eastern Connecticut from the junction of the Yantic and Shetucket Rivers at Norwich, to New London and Groton, which flank its mouth at the Long Island Sound.
