Farmington River Closed to Fishing
As of Friday, 8/18/2016, portions of the West Branch Farmington River and Farmington River are closed to fishing. This was done to protect heat stressed fish including trout that have congregated at the mouths of a number of tributary streams where cooler water is entering the West Branch Farmington River and Farmington River. Fishing for these trout would put additional stress on these fish, and may led to increased mortalities.
