Brown Trout
While not a renowned trout destination, Shelton, Connecticut, offers some surprisingly accessible Brown Trout fishing in the Farmill River. This smaller river, a tributary of the Housatonic, is stocked with brown trout, providing anglers with a convenient option close to town. Spring, immediately after stocking, and fall, as water temperatures cool, are the best times to target these trout. The Farmill is a relatively small stream, so stealth is key. Use light tackle and natural-looking baits or flies. Focus your efforts on deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with overhanging vegetation. A local's advice: access the river from the various road crossings along Route 108. These areas offer easy parking and access to different sections of the river. Brown trout in the Farmill River are typically in the 10-14 inch range, offering a pleasant fishing experience for both beginners and experienced anglers.
