Trout and Salmon stocking will resume in the fall.

Trout Unlimited supports hatchery production and stocking of trout and salmon only as part of an integrated program that first seeks to correct problems with habitat, water flow, and harvest.

Trout Unlimited opposes stocking in waters where healthy, self-sustaining populations of trout exist.

Something Fishy Going On

Stocking Crew

Rich Ives of Lebanon, a volunteer with the Thames Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited, dumps a net full of trout into his live cart, as fellow club members Steve Bernier, left, and Al Fehr prepare to walk their carts down the west branch of the Eightmile River in East Haddam on Friday. Trout Unlimited volunteers, with the help of workers from the state Department of Environmental Protection and students from Hale-Ray High School in East Haddam, stocked the Eightmile River watershed with about 2,500 trout from the Quinebaug Valley Fish Hatchery. Fishing season in Connecticut opens April 15.
