#1306136 - 04/09/11 10:01 PM Is fishing permitted on Laurel Reservoir in North Stamford?
truchagrande Member Registered: 04/17/10 Posts: 7	I've lived my whole life (30 years) near the Laurel Reservoir between Stamford and New Canaan, but I can't ever remember seeing anybody fish there. The perimeter is fenced off with "No Trespassing" signs posted every 30 feet or so. Is there any legal way to fish it? There have to be some monster fish in there. How deep is it anyway? Many thanks!

Otherwise it's off limits. Captain Keith Williams keith.williams@ct.gov Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Connecticut State Environmental Conservation Police

Quote: Laurel Reservoir is a reservoir located just 1.9 miles from North Stamford, in the state of Connecticut, United States. Fishermen will find a variety of fish including smelt, brook trout and steelhead trout here. Whether you’re baitcasting, spinning, net fishing or fly fishing your chances of getting a bite here are good. Steelhead? LOL.

If you can get a permit to fish the Saugatuck, then maybe it's possible to get one for N. Stamford. Certainly worth a phone call anyway. Thanks again

If you put some fictional lake name in there, you'll get the same thing. I'll try it.... "A bad day of fishing is better than a great day at work!"
