Seeforellen strain brown trout return in the Nutmeg State

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

The return of the Seeforellen strain Brown Trout!  This fall, we plan on stocking nearly 6,000 seefs, which will be close to 14 inches in length!  

This special strain of Brown Trout has not been stocked during the fall in Connecticut since 2016 when they were discontinued from production due to staffing, space, and budgetary constraints.  Seeforellens will be stocked into 7 lakes total (Long Pond, Highland Lake, East Twin Lake, West Hill Pond, Beach Pond, Crystal Lake, and Squantz Pond) where they will provide late fall and winter (through the ice) season fishing opportunities.  

In addition to providing good access to fishing, these suite of lakes were also chosen because they provide a better opportunity for Seeforellens to “holdover” and grow to a larger size.  In the past, our studies have shown that this strain of brown trout can grow to sizes larger than 20 inches when they holdover in Connecticut Lakes!  So, please (drum roll anyone) welcome back the Seeforellens.   Coming to a lake near you!The return of the Seeforellen strain Brown Trout!
