Brown Trout
Central Connecticut offers some surprisingly good brown trout fishing, and New Britain is a convenient base for exploring several excellent spots. The Pequabuck River, flowing just north of the city, is a local favorite. Its relatively cool waters and consistent flow support a decent population of wild and holdover browns. Anglers targeting browns here should focus on the deeper pools and undercut banks, especially during warmer months. Spring and fall are prime times, as the trout become more active with cooler water temperatures. Early mornings and late evenings often produce the best results. Consider using small spinners or live bait like nightcrawlers. A practical tip: Access to the Pequabuck is available at several points along Route 72, but be mindful of private property. Also, be aware that the Pequabuck is a relatively small river, so stealth is key to avoid spooking the fish. Many anglers also have luck in the nearby Farmington River, a tailwater fishery known for its consistent temperatures.
