Brown Trout
While Norwich isn't renowned for its brown trout fishing, dedicated anglers can find opportunities in the Yantic River. This river, though smaller, is stocked with brown trout and offers a more intimate fishing experience. The best time to target browns is during the spring and fall stocking periods, but holdover fish can be caught throughout the year. Focus on deeper pools, runs, and areas with overhanging vegetation, as these provide cover for the trout. Small spinners, spoons, and bait such as worms or corn can be effective. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers is also a viable option. Access to the Yantic River is generally good, with several roadside access points available. Be mindful of private property and respect landowners' rights. The brown trout in the Yantic tend to be on the smaller side, but the chance of hooking a wild or holdover fish adds to the appeal. Pay attention to water levels and clarity, as these can significantly impact fishing success. A stealthy approach is crucial when fishing this smaller river.
