| ATLANTIC SALMON STOCKING CONTINUES By Bob Gregorski DEP stocked another 175 surplus broodstock Atlantic salmon into the Shetucket and Naugatuck Rivers Thursday (October 19th), bringing the number of salmon stocked this fall to 575, split evenly between the two rivers. This latest batch of salmon are 2-5 lb fish from the federal hatchery in Vermont. In November, DEP expects to have 600-800 salmon available from its Kensington Hatchery following spawning. Additional fish may also become available following spawning in federal fish hatcheries in November and December. Reminder- Anglers are allowed to fish for salmon in the Naugatuck River from the confluence of the East and West Branches (Torrington) downstream to the Housatonic River (Derby). Anglers may also fish for Atlantic salmon in the Housatonic River downstream of Derby Dam. On the Shetucket River, anglers can fish for salmon downstream from the Scotland Dam (Windham) to the Water Street Bridge in Norwich (the first bridge upstream of Norwich Harbor). Angling for Atlantic salmon is restricted to catch-and-release only through November 30. The daily creel limit is zero and all Atlantic salmon must be immediately returned, without avoidable injury, to the waters from which taken. From December 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007, the daily creel limit for Atlantic salmon will be one. During the open season, the legal method for taking Atlantic salmon is limited to angling using a single fly, or an artificial lure with a single free-swinging hook. No additional weight may be added to the line above the fly or lure. Note: There are three designated Atlantic salmon broodstock areas that are stocked, one on the Shetucket River (from the Scotland Dam to the Occum Dam) and two on the Naugatuck River (Route 118 to the Thomaston Dam, and from Prospect Street in Naugatuck to Pines Bridge Road in Beacon Falls). From October 1st through March 31st, fishing for other species in these areas is restricted to the gear legal for Atlantic salmon. |
