The the Connecticut is simply an amazing River and quite simple to fish. There are many many places that are easy to find. You should make the effort as the rewards can be beyond expectation. A 30# mirror is "nice" but not when guys are targeting much bigger...

Interesting thread. There will always be mirrors in any population. The Connecticut River has a tremendous reputation for ginormous mirrors. That fishery isn't going to change. I would expect that the mirrors in that section are the dominant gene. South of the dam it shifts back to more of a common dominant population. I've fished the Saint Lawrence and only managed a handful of mirrors in over a decade. Same with the Hudson River.
