How do you catch CT River "Spring Stripers?"

[PaulS]

Go to the enfield dam and use pencil poppers or even danny swimmers. I don't think the spot has any structure to old the fish there for any length of time. By late June all fish are back down in the sound.

I fish the Ct. river in May. I don't use eels. I use pencils, big swimmers and Danny's, and two years ago in the fast water by the dam, I was nailing 'em on bottles. The 3 oz Gibbs parrot ones, to be exact.
I caught them on bomber types, at the same location.
I have caught them from the shore, on chunks, further down, towards Cromwell. Oh, one other lure that works well, is the Gag's Slammer. With the Alewife's being in the river, the lures work well.
