Top 3 Reasons to Buy a Candlewood Lake Property
If you love water sports like fishing and boating, or if you just
like living near the water in a picturesque country setting, read on to find
the top reasons why Candlewood Lake Connecticut is the best place for you.
Candlewood Lake is largest body of water in Connecticut. Owners of
Candlewood properties enjoy the lake all year round. During the summer months
tourism in Candlewood Lake is high. Residents and visitors get to experience
the most outdoor
recreational activities like boating, fishing, diving,
water skiing, hiking, and camping.
It was in Candlewood Lake CT that the late Bassmaster classic
champion Bryan Kercha learned to catch bass. Candlewood Lake is teeming with
largemouth and smallmouth bass, stocked brown and rainbow trout, walleye, catfish,
shad, sunfish, rock bass and crappie. Last May to June, some 75 to 100 fish a
day were caught in Candlewood. The lake has a six fish limit with a minimum
size of 12 inches.
Candlewood Lake is the best “fishing hole” in Connecticut for
angler. It is known as a trophy trout lake, but with over 100 yearly bass
tournaments, Candlewood has also made a mark for excellent bass fishing.
Connecticut has no closed season for bass. Candlewood Lake is open
for bass on the 3rd Saturday of April until March 31. The best time for fishing
is from June to October. Spring is also a good time to fish since trout can be
caught as easily as bass on each cast. So if you don't do well in the bass
tournament, at least you go home with fresh trout.
Below Candlewood lies the submerged town of Jerusalem with
homes, buildings, sawmill, farm equipment, old roads, church, a cemetery,
bridges, and even a few crashed airplanes. Scuba diving for artifacts under
Candlewood Lake is also a popular activity, and Brookfield has many dive shops
for this activity.
Boating is one of the major activities that can be enjoyed most of
the year in Candlewood Lake, with 10 huge fully-stocked marinas around the
lake. Conveniently located launch ramps are very accessible for boaters. If you
don’t own a boat, you can rent from a wide selection of 24-foot pontoon boats,
canoes, runabouts, and kayaks from any of the marinas. The Candlewood Lake
Authority’s patrol enforces a speed limit is 45 mph at daytime and 25 mph at
nighttime.
If you are looking for country living matched with the best water
activities, buy a Candlewood property now and enjoy the lifestyle you truly
want.
