Ruby Lake is a reservoir in Connecticut, near Capitol County.
Ruby Lake is a reservoir in Connecticut's Capitol region, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. A dependable maximum-depth figure was not found for Ruby Lake, so it should not be guessed from a similarly named water.
Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Ruby Lake, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.
Fish reported from Ruby Lake include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, and yellow perch.
When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Ruby Lake, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.
Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for Ruby Lake crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Ruby Lake take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Ruby Lake.
For Ruby Lake pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.
Choose a compact section and test it from shallow to deep on Ruby Lake. Then compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of Ruby Lake.
Spring at Ruby Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Ruby Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Ruby Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
