“Park and Grab”. A easy-to-find cache that you can get very
close to by car.
Trout Parks
Trout Park? What's a Trout Park?
Is it some kind of strange fish carnival? No, actually a Trout Park
is a pond or stream that will be stocked weekly with trout from the
state’s fish hatcheries.
11 water bodies in Connecticut have been designated as Trout
Parks. Trout Parks are located in easily accessible areas to
enhance trout fishing opportunities for young anglers and novice
anglers as well as for those with mobility challenges. The frequent
stockings, generally between Opening Day and Memorial Day, will
greatly increase an angler’s chances of catching a fish, making it
a more attractive "fishing hole", particularly to children and
families.
Although the Trout Parks will have more fish in them, their
daily creel limit (the number of trout an angler can keep) has been
reduced from five to two fish per day in order to spread the catch
among a greater number of anglers.
So round up the family, get over to one of the Trout Parks and
start fishing! -CT DEP
Welcome to Chatfield Hollow, The first of my Trout Park &
Grab series. I pulled these caches together so others may have the
chance to enjoy two of my favortie hobbies at the same time. You
will be looking for a small matchstick container hidden carefully
among some great fishing spots. So don't forget your gps'r and
you're pole. And feel free to post any pics of your catch!
There is a small FTF prize included! Remember to replace the
care as you found it, Thank You!
