Rainbow Trout
Looking to hook into some Rainbow Trout near Middletown, CT? The Coginchaug River and the Mattabesset River offer excellent opportunities, particularly during the spring and fall. These rivers are regularly stocked, ensuring a healthy population of Rainbows. Spring, from late March through May, is prime time as the trout are actively feeding after the winter months. Fall, from September through November, is also productive as the fish prepare for spawning. A key to success here is understanding the water levels; after heavy rains, the rivers can become murky, so check local conditions before heading out. Access to the Coginchaug is relatively easy from several road crossings. For the Mattabesset, try the area near Veterans Memorial Park. Remember to check the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) regulations for specific size and creel limits, as well as any gear restrictions. Nymphing with small patterns or drifting worms and powerbait can be very effective. Keep an eye out for rising fish and be prepared to switch to dry flies.
