Rainbow Trout

Various

While Woodmont is primarily known for its saltwater access, freshwater anglers can find decent rainbow trout fishing in nearby waters. The Naugatuck River, a short drive inland, is stocked with rainbow trout several times a year, providing ample opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. Spring and fall are the best times to target these stocked trout, when water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or live bait such as worms or mealworms. A local tip: The Naugatuck River can be wadable in many areas, but be cautious of slippery rocks and fluctuating water levels. Also, check the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) stocking reports to find the most recently stocked sections of the river. Another popular spot is the Quinnipiac River, which also receives regular trout stockings.
