John if I'm not mistaken the salmon population in Ct. is only a way to get rid of the Brood stock and provide an oppertunity to catch a salmon in local waters , unlike the stocking in N.Y. where the fish make it out to the big lake and return to spawn .
This would be awesome if they would stock fingerlings and allow thm to reach the sound and return to the rivers from where they came.
Sorry Mike ; not to hijack the thread , but I would also like to see more walleye stockings in ct. lakes even more so than salmon.
