I know we talked about this last year when the req was first published.

Just need verification cause I thought we could. But reading it now I would say no....

East Twin is a Trout Management Lake not a Trout Management Area. Therefore I would say it is legal to use #3 on Twin.

In the Angler Guide it states:

Trout Management Areas: Monitoring: Connecticut has eight Trout Management Areas (TMAs) and one Wild Trout Management Area (WTMA). These areas are all managed with variations of catch-and-release regulations and typically attract more angler days, sustain higher catch rates throughout the year, and are more cost effective (more angler hours per trout stocked) than areas managed under statewide trout regulations. Collectively they attract more than 100,000 angler hours per year. Monitoring provides the information necessary to evaluate the success of three TMAs and one WTMA. This information is needed to respond to sunset clauses in the regulations. Periodic monitoring of all TMAs enables the Division to determine if objectives are being met and to respond to angler inquiries and requests.

In the brochure it references it lists:



Trout Management Brochure - from DEEP

Brochure mentions TMAs - specifically. No list of any lake.

I think we are good

Thanks for the update.
