Trout Stocking Update: We stocked Crystal Lake - Ellington today. There is about 9" of ice near the boat ramp. Please use extra caution by checking ice depth frequently and fish with a buddy and all appropriate saftey gear. This warm spell may weaken the ice that had previously been very strong. | Connecticut Fish and Wildlife

Fallfish-ing is really good right now and will be all summer long. A native minnow species, the Fallfish, sometimes called “Dace”, lives in most of CT’s stony-bottom rivers and streams. The fallfish builds a pyramid-shaped nest of gravel, up to 18-20 inches in height. So, keep an eye out if walking in a stream during summer low flow months for these eighth wonders of the world. Learn more about the fallfish in the video below or by our article in a past edition of Connecticut Wildlife Magazine -
