Rainbow Trout
Looking for rainbow trout near New Britain? Consider targeting the Pequabuck River. This smaller river is stocked with rainbow trout throughout the spring, providing excellent fishing opportunities. Early spring, right after stocking, is a particularly productive time. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms and mealworms are all effective. Fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies can also be successful, especially as the water warms up. Access to the Pequabuck is relatively easy along Route 6. Be mindful of private property and respect posted signs. A local tip: the section of the river near Rockwell Park is a popular spot and receives regular stockings. Also, be aware that the Pequabuck is subject to low water conditions during the summer months, so check the river level before you go. Connecticut DEEP provides stocking information online, which is invaluable for planning your trip.
