There are many ponds and lakes that I fish. Bantam I go to a lot for pike did alright this year the biggest was 33 inches thru the ice 2/20/08. The Farmington River I do extremely well on. Have never been skunked the best time to go for me is dead summer. Also do good thru the ice there caught about 20 browns and a rainbow this year and over 1000 perch jigging. Not being directly stocked thats pretty good. East Twin is a good lake for trout but living in Plainville and driving all the way up there which is almost 2 hours when I can drive 8 minutes and catch the same quality fish I would rather go the Farmington. West Hill is an alright lake caught many limits out of there. Here are some pictures:
