It’s that time of year again – find your rods, dust off your lures, and get ready for Opening Day of trout fishing season!

Over 200 truckloads of fish will be released into 101 lakes and ponds and 203 rivers and streams throughout Connecticut.

Anglers can purchase their 2013 fishing licenses directly online, or at one of the many participating town halls, tackle retailers and DEEP offices.
