Well, I live in Wolcott, CT near the Waterbury area.
About an hour South of Springfield.
I will pm the people that are coming with my address and directions...
What to see? Well, it is a healthy lake (reservoir) and it is about 55 ft. deep (private, no motorboats allowed). I snorkeled in the summer and saw more fish there than I ever saw at Cape Ann! They followed me around for an hour and even let me touch them.
Although on my first dive there it was a different story, they were a bit more timid and the vis was poor, weather overcast. I did see an old boot and some fishing poles and Flyingsherpa found a dollar! Basically there are really cute sunfish that are adorable under water, the colors are great, pickerel, bass, and some others that I can't identify. Some were quite large. The bottom is a dark color and if the day isn't sunny it is VERY DARK at depths greater than 20 ft.. Water temp about a month ago was high 60s.
Rumor has it there is a small plane in the lake, that the wing is by my building and the fuselage is on the other end...
