  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in South Central Connecticut Planning Region include bluegill, American eel and pumpkinseed. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Treat Tetram Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.
