[size 2]DEP Starts Autumn Trout Stockings
The state Department of Environmental Protection announced Friday that its annual autumn trout stockings have begun.
During September and October, DEP expects to release nearly 44,000 trout into selected waters throughout the state. Among the areas scheduled for stocking this fall are 24 lakes and ponds, 19 rivers and streams including 12 Trout Management Areas, four “Urban Fishing Areas” - including Mohegan Park Pond in Norwich - and nine Trout Parks.
The DEP advises anglers to check fishing regulations in their 2008 Connecticut Angler's Guide. Guides are available from town clerks, bait and tackle stores, or by contacting the DEP Inland Fisheries Division at 424-3474.
