About Blackledge River
The Blackledge River flows through Hebron and Glastonbury before joining the Jeremy River to form the upper Salmon River, offering productive freestone trout fishing in central-eastern Connecticut. The stretch near Gilead holds wild and stocked brown trout in classic pool-riffle structure, with enough canopy and cold tributary input to keep it fishable through June. An underrated option for anglers who prefer lighter pressure than the Salmon River tailwater downstream.
Regulations
General state season: second Saturday in April through November 30. Standard trout regulations upstream of the Salmon River TMA; the lower reach joins the Salmon River system — consult CT DEEP postings near the confluence. 9" minimum size statewide.
