About Farmington River
Connecticut's crown jewel tailwater, delivering year-round trout fishing powered by cold hypolimnetic releases from the Hogback/Goodwin Dam complex in Hartland. The Trout Management Area (TMA) section through Riverton, New Hartford, and into Collinsville holds dense populations of wild and stocked brown and rainbow trout in pool-riffle-run structure that rewards both nymphing and technical dry-fly work. The lower canyon section near Collinsville adds another dimension with tight freestone character and some of the most technically challenging water in New England.
Regulations
CFS alone does not indicate fishability — check dam release schedules. TMA Section 1 (Goodwin/Hogback Dam downstream to below Still River confluence): Trout & Salmon Stamp required; year-round season; catch-and-release only September 1 through the Friday before the second Saturday in April; 2-trout daily limit (9" minimum) during in-season. Lower Farmington TMA (Collinsville area): catch-and-release only in designated stretch as posted.
