Last for trout anglers to provide your input on the Catch and Release season. https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/3VUfzSSYjy

This survey closes tomorrow, June 20th, at 12:00 noon.

Connecticut is now five years into having "no closed season" for trout as established by Connecticut Public Act 21-12 by the CT General Assembly. Only this group can create or modify a law. CT DEEP can only pass regulations to support such laws. CT DEEP cannot single handedly bring back Opening Day.

Back story: In 2021, after the passage of Public Act 21-12 by the CT General Assembly, the Fisheries Division sought angler input to obtain preferences and desires related to trout fishing for the 2022 season. Based those responses the Fisheries Division opted to implement a default statewide regulation requiring "catch and release" for trout from March 1 until the second Saturday of April. Now, after five years of a Catch and Release season for trout, the Fisheries Division is once again seeking angler input on preferences.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your preferences and opinions about the Catch and Release season for trout. Take the survey https://forms.cloud.microsoft/g/3VUfzSSYjy
