It is that time of year again – find your rods, dust off your lures, and get ready for Opening Day of trout fishing season!
This is a great opportunity for many Connecticut families to get outdoors and interact with nature and wild life.
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) began its annual spring trout stocking earlier this year and expects to have 376,000 fish stocked throughout the state by Opening Day this Saturday, April 20.
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.
