It’s Go Time for Snapper Fishing in Norwalk NORWALK, Conn. -- While striped bass and mature bluefish remain species targeted by most East Coast anglers, the sudden drop in temperatures offers fisherman the chance to expand their catch. Juvenile bluefish, often referred to as snappers or cocktail blues, first appear toward the end of the summer and are currently entering their most active time of year.  From early September through late October, these miniature fighters can be found schooling in the rivers and coves off of Norwalk.  Although rarely more than 10 inches in length, snappers fight with the ferocity of their mature cou…

Not bad for a trail that isn’t even officially open yet.  The new section runs 0.6 miles from Sharp Hill Road (opposite Autumn Ridge Drive) down to Raymond Lane, where it joins the NRVT “demo” trail, which opened this spring. It meanders gently through hardwoods and stands of pine, passing wetlands and tumbledown stone walls.  At the Raymond Lane end is the cause of the delay in the official opening – a 30-foot bridge across an intermittent brook.
