April 19 marks the opening fishing season for all Connecticut rivers and streams, with trout the primary objective for most at that time of year. In northern Connecticut, there are many options available for those interested in trout, as there are several rivers, streams and creeks that offer trout action. Most of these trout are stocked by the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, making them even more beautiful. Here are some of the best places to fish for trout in northern Connecticut.
1. Blackwell’s Brook in Canterbury and Brooklyn
Blackwell Brook is a river slide that you can access from Route 169 in Brooklyn or from Wauregan Road in Canterbury. When the trout stocked up and eventually flowed into the nearby Quinebaug River. It is a typical New England stream, that is, not very deep, with many ponds that trout love to feed on, with plenty of bushes and trees in and around it.
2. The river from Hampton in Canterbury
The small river is a large stream that flows from north to south, coming out of Hampton-Caleve and dumping into two lakes in the Norwich area. It passes through Route 14 in Canterbury, Scotland and also Windham Road in Hampton. Heavily stocked with trout in most years and offers some excellent fishing.
3. Fivemile River in Thompson, Putnam, and Killingly
This is a somewhat larger stream that winds up in the Ballouville region. The river winds five miles along the river road between Killingly to the north, Putnam to the east, and Thompson to the south. It is provided in different places by the DEP in the source.
4. Kitt Brook at Canterbury
Kitt Brook is the smallest of these streams, running from north to south to east, and emptying into the Quinebaug near the Packerville part of the town. Kitt Brook was established regularly. Route 14 passes between Kitt Road and Manship Road and can also be fished from Tracy Road and Elmdale Road before making its way across Route 169 to the bottom of the big hill.
5. Natchaug River in Chaplin, Eastford, Mansfield, and Windham
The Natchaug is a rapid river that offers some truly scenic vistas, especially in Chaplin at a place called Diana’s Pool. This spot is absolutely packed come mouthwatering trout season, so it might be wise to wait until the fishermen thin out a little later in the month. The Natchaug Trout River is a Trout River that is much more heavily stocked with these fish, with a limit of 2 creels per day.
6. Quinebaug River from Thompson to Norwich
Several species of fish reside in the Quinebaug in addition to trout, but the first year it is a favorite target of anglers when it is stocked. It can be fished from many locations, including Route 14 in the Canterbury/Plainfield town area and the Butts Bridge area in Canterbury. Actually on the south side of Butts Bridge in Lisbon in Quinebaug is known as Aspinook Pond and open fishing year. around There are some very nice swimming in brown-trout in Quinebaug; these old soybeans are mostly caught in the spring.
7. Moosup River in Plainfield and Sterling
The Moosup is also a tributary of the Quinebaug, plus it is a Trout Management Area, which is open to trout fishing year round. However, there is catch and release only in this area, which runs from Route 14 to the bridge where the Moosup goes into the Quinebaug.
