Fishing Sea

FISHING Trout season less than a month away Stamford Advocate

Clean your rods and reels, dust off your lures and check your waders. It is time to start getting ready for the opening day of the 2010 Trout Season.

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is gearing up for the 2010 season. DEP's Inland Fisheries Division began its annual spring trout stocking on March 1st, and expects to have 389,000 trout stocked throughout the state by April 17, which is opening day of the 2010 Trout Season.

"For many Connecticut families, Opening Day is a tradition rich in memories, and the first opportunity of the season to get outdoors and go trout fishing," said Susan Frechette , Deputy Commissioner of the DEP. "Fishing is one of the outdoor activities that we are encouraging more people to do as part of our No Child Left Inside initiative. Fishing can be a great outdoor adventure for the entire family."

"Connecticut's anglers can look forward to exceptional trout fishing this spring," Frechette said. "Our hatchery staff has worked hard to get another excellent crop of trout ready for Opening Day."

Orvis Fly Reel?

Reader Question: Should I Buy An Orvis Fly Reel? What do you think of it?

Answer: Well, that’s sort of a difficult question. I do own a couple of Orvis Fly Fishing Reels and can only speak from personal experience here. I’d say for the money, they are one of the best reels on the market. It has a true spin with great reliability, and my Orvis Battenkill has been extremely durable as well. So yes, I will have to say “thumbs up” and say go for it.
