Brown Trout
Litchfield County, Connecticut, offers some surprisingly good brown trout fishing within a reasonable drive of major metropolitan areas. The West Branch of the Farmington River is a key location, renowned for its cold, clean water and healthy insect populations, which support a thriving brown trout fishery. Spring and fall are prime times, with consistent hatches and actively feeding fish. Early morning and late evening are particularly productive. For the wading angler, access is relatively easy along Route 44, but be mindful of private property. A local tip: try nymphing with caddis or mayfly imitations in the deeper pools, especially after a light rain. Browns in this area can be quite selective, so be prepared to change your presentation. Also, be aware of the special regulations on certain sections of the river, including catch-and-release areas, which help maintain the quality of the fishery.
