Connecticut Broodstock Salmon Report

Posted by Wayne G. Barber



A number of catches reported from the recently stocked areas on the Naugatuck, Shetucket River, and Mount Tom Pond (with some time and effort put forth). A final round of stocking should occur in early to mid-December. Follow us on Facebook and our website to get the stocking updates.

Salmon stocking update. The Naugatuck River was stocked with 75 broodstock Atlantic salmon today (Thursday, 11/10). The upper broodstock area received 30 fish and the lower broodstock area received 45 fish. Most fish (60) stocked today were fish weighing in the 6-20 lb range.

Recap. Approximately 1,500 fish have been stocked earlier this fall. Mount Tom Pond and Crystal Lake (Ellington) were the lakes stocked this fall. Both the Nauatuck and Shetucket Rivers were also stocked. Additional fish will become available from the Kensington State Fish Hatchery later this fall, including more in the 6-20 lb range.
