DEEP Announces New Inland Sportfish Regulations Focused on Conserving Wild Brook Trout
(HARTFORD) — The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) announced today that sportfishing regulations for the Inland District will be updated January 1, 2026. Most notably, the updated regulations provide additional protections for declining populations of brook trout, the only species of trout native to Connecticut. Decades of monitoring by DEEP biologists shows a clear trend of reduced range and abundance of brook trout in the state. Brook trout require cold water to survive and flourish, meaning that they are particularly susceptible to the impacts of our warming climate.
