Local Rivers Stocked!

Not as big as the spring stockings, but a few hundred trout have been added to many of CT's local streams and rivers. Check out TU's email for more information:

"In the fall, the state focuses much of its stocking efforts on our local Trout Management Areas, which offer catch-and-release fishing from Sept. 1 through Opening Day.

The trout stocked in the fall are typically much bigger than the fish released in the spring, and this fall the state plans to stock 30,000 adult trout - including more than 14,000 brown trout over 12 inches.

This week, the following rivers were stocked with brown trout 12 inches and bigger:

Mianus River TMA - 300 trout

Saugatuck River TMA - 250 trout

Mill River TMA - 200 trout

Norwalk River - 325 trout

You can click on a specific river name above, or go to Area Fishingon our website to find fishing maps, streamflow information and other advice to help you enjoy the fall fishing on our local waters.

In the coming days and weeks the state also plans to stock the Farmington River, Housatonic River and other streams in Connecticut in cas you'reinterested in an outing a little farther from home.

Have a great weekend, enjoy the fishing, and I'll see you at one of our Coming Events soon."
