DEP PLANS TO STOCK 2,000 TROUT FOR THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND
Farmington River – Trout fishing remains good and anglers can look forward to even more fish in the river as DEP PLANS TO STOCK 2,000 TROUT FOR THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. These fish are brown trout (12 inch and bigger fish) and will be released into the West Branch Farmington from just above the TMA to the Goodwin (Hogback) Dam. Water temperatures are in the mid 60’s °F (West Branch TMA, rising some during the day, and higher downstream). Flows are clear and remain low, currently 86 cfs at Riverton, and the Still River provides another 10 cfs below Riverton. With flows clear and this low, being stealthy is essential.
