Summary
Best fishing is near the Route 6 bridge and at the public access points near Ansonia and Leonard Harrison State Park. Shore access is excellent along Pine Creek Rail Trail; boat/kayak access is possible but limited. Key species include trout, smallmouth bass, and occasional suckers. Trout bite well in spring using spinners, PowerBait, or live worms; bass hit soft plastics and crankbaits in summer. Deep pools, riffles, and shaded banks are productive. No formal piers or ramps, but several gravel pull-offs offer easy entry.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
