The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Lake Of Isles

  Depth figures are not published for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Records held for Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region cover bluegill, black crappie and striped bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. At Lake Of Isles the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns
