Open biodiversity records for Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region list bluegill, black crappie, striped bass and largemouth bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. The near bank of Wetherbee Pond is often the one people ignore.

• Tackle & Baits

A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lymans Pond sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow.
