Lamont Signs Order Opening Connecticut’s Fishing Season Early Written by Office of the Governor.
Trout Fishing Season Opening Early to Encourage Social Distancing, Anglers Reminded to Exercise Caution if Fishing on Late-Season Ice
Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he has signed an executive order removing closed seasons for fishing on all inland waters in Connecticut, and opening additional lakes, ponds, as well as rivers and streams to fishing statewide, effective today. The governor signed a similar order last year to open the state’s fishing season early at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Executive Order No. 10B removes prohibitions on fishing for trout, effectively advancing opening day of trout season from April 10, 2021 to today. The governor said that opening the fishing season early permits anglers to enjoy additional access to outdoor recreation, which has been a help to residents’ mental and physical health.

Question: I have read in different places that California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) at times stocks trout in the Sierra Mountains and elsewhere in high country lakes. sometimes by airplane, horses and humans.
Is there a web page on your site that discusses when and where this takes place? Is there a record showing when and where previous stockings took place?
I have found the Fish Planting Schedule on your website but never see backcountry or high-elevation lakes included. Ryan
Answer: Great questions, Ryan. Let’s start with the Fish Planting Schedule on the CDFW website. That schedule shows “catchable trout” about 12 inches and larger planted for recreational fishing. Those fish are planted to be caught more or less immediately by anglers, and the Fish Planting Schedule can help direct anglers to the fish.
