Rainbow Trout
If you're looking to hook into some Rainbow Trout in central Connecticut, Meriden offers a few surprisingly good options. The Quinnipiac River, which flows through Meriden, is stocked regularly, providing accessible fishing. Additionally, nearby reservoirs like Hubbard Park Pond also hold rainbows, especially after stocking. Spring and fall are prime times, when water temperatures are ideal, and the trout are actively feeding. Early mornings or late afternoons often produce the best results. A local tip: focus on areas with current breaks or near submerged structures in the Quinnipiac. For Hubbard Park Pond, try fishing near the inlet or outlet. Also, be aware that the Quinnipiac can be subject to fluctuations in water level, so check conditions before heading out. The rainbows you'll find here are generally stocked fish, so they're not particularly wary, making it a good spot for beginners.
