Lake Konomoc near Oxoboxo River: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lake Konomoc lies in Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region, in Connecticut. It sits at 190 feet above sea level. About 284 acres, so local knowledge or a boat saves a lot of walking. With 4.4 miles or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. The town to know is Oxoboxo River, 3.7 miles out. Beyond it, Uncasville at 4.1 miles and Montville Center at 4.7 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Lake Konomoc

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. County-wide records name bluegill, black crappie and striped bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Lake Konomoc gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 28°F to 71°F. A lid forms in a hard winter only. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. The season on Lake Konomoc follows the weather closely. Nights draw in quickly late in the season, so plan the walk back.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. Part of this sits inside or beside City of New London Public Watershed Lands, so read the notices. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Davis Pond is 1.4 miles distant.
