Hello DEP Management,
Please consider making the Mill River in Hamden an ALL YEAR ROUND Catch and Release Trout stream. From Tuttle Ave to Skiff Street, a stocked river that could be fished (and stocked) all year but only for catch and release ONLY.
I think the time has come to have at least one area like this in each county. People would know the fish are there (stocked) and the only way they can fish it is to catch and release. ONLY Single barbless hooks, no trebles. Single hook lures/flies only, no bait.
The time has come to preserve the trout fishing for fisherman who fish responsibly and carefully. Others that wish to use trebles/bait can use other rivers in the area but make the Mill a dedicated catch and release fishermans area. Make the fine $200 for anyone caught violating the laws....Wags

You need to pass along your concerns to the Fisheries Division. They set up the management areas, not us.
