Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing in Stonington, Connecticut, primarily revolves around the Pawcatuck River and its tributaries. While not a renowned trout destination, the Pawcatuck does receive stockings of brown trout, particularly in the spring. Early spring, immediately after stocking, is your best bet for catching these fish. Look for deeper pools and runs, especially where there's some current break created by rocks or submerged logs. Standard trout tactics like using small spinners, spoons, or live bait (worms or mealworms) can be effective. Fly fishing can also be productive, with nymphs and streamers being good choices. A practical tip: Access to the river is available at several points along Route 49. Be mindful of private property and respect posted signs. The trout in the Pawcatuck River are typically of modest size, but the chance to catch a beautiful brown trout in a relatively accessible location makes it a worthwhile outing. Don't forget to check the Connecticut DEEP website for the latest stocking information and fishing regulations.
