Brown Trout
If you're chasing brown trout near Hartford, the Farmington River is where you want to be. This renowned river offers both wild and stocked browns. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with the cooler water temperatures triggering active feeding. The stretch from Unionville to Collinsville is particularly popular. Fly fishing is the preferred method, with nymphs and streamers being effective choices. However, spin anglers also find success with small spinners and spoons. Access is relatively easy along Route 44, but be mindful of private property. The Farmington River Anglers Association provides valuable information on access points and regulations. A local tip: pay attention to water levels; the river can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rain. Also, be aware that the Farmington is a designated Trout Management Area, so check the specific regulations regarding tackle and creel limits before you head out.
