The Salmon stocked into the Naugy, Shetucket and a few lakes came mostly from the Kensington hatchery as well as the Federal hatchery in VT as part of the Salmon Restoration Project.
To my understanding, the Kensington hatchery is already or will be closed as part of the state budget cuts, which would mean that that hatchery will not produce broodstock salmon going forward. I don't think that other hatcheries will take on the salmon.
Also, the salmon you catch in CT, the good ones are from Kensington and the smaller, less awesome ones come from VT.
The bottom line is that I think salmon broodstock fishing is done in CT, unless changes are made that I am not aware of. Maybe the state will still have the federal hatchery supply them...?
I loved fishing for them when I was up in taxonnecticut.
