Upper Kohanza Lake, Connecticut: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Upper Kohanza Lake is a Western Connecticut Planning Region water, in Connecticut. The sea is 23 miles distant. Around 29 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. On our Western Connecticut Planning Region list it sits near the top for size. Danbury lies 2.9 miles from the water. The nearest city of size is North Stamford, 20 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Upper Kohanza Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records held for Western Connecticut Planning Region cover bluegill, brown trout and pumpkinseed. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Upper Kohanza Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 26°F in January and 72°F in July. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Expect Upper Kohanza Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. A picnic site half a mile off makes this workable with family in tow. Drska Property runs up to the bank here, which usually means extra restrictions. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Padanaram Reservoir sits 0.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Where Upper Kohanza Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
