  • Spotlight on Mansfield Hollow Lake, a Different Kind of Lake
    Spotlight on Mansfield Hollow Lake, a Different Kind of Lake Mansfield Hollow Lake is an engineered impoundment of the Natchaug, Mount Hope and Fenton Rivers that resulted from the installation of a flood control project. The main function of the basin behind the dam is for flood control, although the lake is also used for many popular recreational activities. The CT DEEP Fisheries Division manages a northern pike nursery near one of the lake inlets and a boat launch for public use. The floodplain behind the dam is managed by the CT DEEP as Mansfield Hollow State Park. Swimming in the lake prohibited in the park by Connecticut State Statute section 25-43 due to its proximity to a downstream surface water drinking water intake. Landing of pontoon planes on the lake is also a prohibited activity under this legislation. Construction of the Mansfield Hollow Dam by the US Army Corp of Engineers was completed in 1952. The lake that formed behind the dam in Mansfield Hollow stretches over 450 acres through Mansfield, Windham, and Chaplin. It has a maximum depth of 16.5 feet. The flood storage area of the project, which is normally empty and is only utilized to store floodwaters, totals 1,880 acres and extends about three miles up the Natchaug River, 2.3 miles up the Mount Hope River, and 3.2 miles up the Fenton River. The project and associated lands cover 2,581 acres. Mansfield Hollow Lake can store up to 8.3 billion gallons of water for flood control purposes. This is equivalent to 6.1 inches of water covering its drainage area of 159 square miles.

INLAND REPORT Stay in the know with CT Fish and Fishing - Facebook Posts (@CTFISHANDWILDLIFE) - Opt in to the Monthly E-newsletter CT Fishin’ Tips Providers of some of the information in this report included Bob’s Place, Captain Morgan’s Bait & Tackle, JT’s Fly Shop, Yankee Outdoors, CTFisherman.com, and a number of bass fishing clubs & organizations. TROUT- RIVERS & STREAMS – Many are letting us know that trout fishing continues to be good to very good. The main advice is to “move around” and to “try different offerings” as the fish are spread out and have been “finicky” at times. Flows remain near-perfect for fishing in many areas (see stream flow graphic on page 4), temperatures continue to be comfortable for both trout and anglers (although look for more heat next week), and the weather forecast is good. While not currently an issue anywhere, you can check stream flows anytime (real time stream flow data from 68 USGS gauging stations can be found at the USGS web site). Anglers are finding good action at many areas throughout the state. Anglers should remember to try a number of tactics and methods until you find what the triggers the fish to hit. Insect hatches are near peak in terms of the diversity of species at one time.
