Until just recently, I have thought of Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont as a bit of a squirt. But his decision to open the inland fishing season last week (instead of waiting for the scheduled opening day on April 11) has changed my mind completely.

LAKEVILLE — On Tuesday evening, March 24, the glad tidings filtered through on social media. Earlier that day Gov. Ned Lamont had issued an executive order opening Connecticut’s inland fisheries — lakes, ponds, rivers and streams — to fishing. (Opening Day had been scheduled for Saturday, April 11.)
