13,000 rainbow trout stocked into sixteen Connecticut lakes and ponds
Does winter seem long this year? Does the shortest month of the year seem
like the longest? One way to beat the winter doldrums is to get out and
enjoy some sunshine and the out-of-doors by going ice fishing. Connecticut’
s Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) has just stocked 13
,000 rainbow trout into sixteen lakes and ponds located throughout
Connecticut to provide some great late-winter ice fishing opportunities. The
trout stocked by DEEP during the past week are from the Quinebaug State
Fish Hatchery, where some repairs and pond maintenance work are scheduled to
begin this spring.
“This winter has been sufficiently long and generally cold enough for
anglers to enjoy good ice fishing conditions,” said Peter Aarrestad,
Director of DEEP’s Inland Fisheries Division. “As it appears that winter
conditions will last for some time, we felt that it was a good time to stock
out the trout from one pond to provide some additional winter trout fishing
opportunities and we’ll also get a head start on an important maintenance
project.”
The 13,000 rainbow trout stocked average 11 inches long and range in length
from 7 to 14 inches. Half (6,500 fish) were stocked into seven eastern
Connecticut lakes; Bashan Lake (East Haddam, 750 fish), Beach Pond (
Voluntown, 1,000 fish), Black Pond (Middlefield/Meriden, 750 fish), Coventry
Lake (Coventry, 1,000 fish), Crystal Lake (Ellington, 1,000 fish), Gardner
Lake (Salem/Montville/Bozrah, 1,000 fish) and Mashapaug Lake (Union, 1,000
fish). The other 6,500 rainbow trout were stocked into nine lakes in western
Connecticut; Black Rock Pond (Watertown, 650 fish), Highland Lake (
Winchester, 1,250 fish), Mount Tom Pond (Morris/Litchfield/Washington, 600
fish), Squantz Pond (New Farirfield/Sherman, 1,150 fish), Stillwater Pond (
Torrington, 600 fish), Tyler Lake (700 fish), West Hill Pond (New Hartford/
Barkhamsted, 1,250 fish) and Westside Pond (300 fish).
DEEP reminds winter anglers that SAFETY COMES FIRST. Be aware that ice
thickness varies on all water bodies due to a number of environmental
factors including in-lake water circulatory patterns, snow cover, air
temperatures and the type and amounts of recent precipitation. Please check
the ice carefully before venturing out and check repeatedly to make sure
that ice thickness is sufficient.
Regulations vary on many of the waters stocked this week. Anglers can check
fishing regulations in the Connecticut Angler’s Guide, found online at www.
ct.gov/deep/anglersguide. Anglers may continue to use the 2013 Angler’s
Guide as a reference until the 2014 Guide comes out in late March/early
April (fishing regulations have not changed since publication of the 2013
Angler’s Guide). The 2014 Connecticut Angler’s Guide will be posted on
line and print copies will be available from many Town Clerks and bait &
tackle stores, or by contacting DEEP’s Inland Fisheries Division (860-424-
FISH).
Additional fishing and fisheries related information can be found on the
DEEP Fisheries web pages at www.ct.gov/deep/fishing and on the Fisheries and
Wildlife Facebook page at www.facebook.com/CTFishandWildlife.
Anglers can obtain their 2014 fishing and hunting licenses online (www.ct.
gov/deep/sportsmenlicensing) or at participating town halls, tackle
retailers and DEEP offices. For a list of vendors, anglers should contact
DEP Licensing and Revenue at 860-424-3105. | I***a

之后人就跟病了一样，中邪了，提不起精神，
