Anglers submitted questions before the broadcast for the expert, Mr. Rickards.

Mr Rickards has spent over 40 years as a guide, author, teacher and fly pattern developer.

Denny Rickard’s knowledge and abiliity to teach others were a prerequisite to establishing his fly fishing schools/clinics which have become a priority for anglers seeking the ultimate form their stillwater angling experiences.

CT DEEP 2021

March 2021 – CT Fishing Season is OPEN!

Gov Lamont has issued an executive order to open trout season effective March 4th, 2021 across the state. Trout Management Areas have been open for catch and release already, but this opens all waters.

No license is needed for fishing at Limestone Trout Club.

2021 Sportsmen licenses for Connecticut or out of state anglers and hunters are now available. As a member or guest at Limestone, licences are NOT needed to fish on our private property. Fishing licences are required to fish in freshwater as well as saltwater for all adults over 16 years old (Seniors can obtain a free license, but must purchase a Trout and Salmon stamp). Combination fresh and saltwater licences are available.

The CT DEEP has implemented an Online Sportsmen Licensing website which can be used to purchase fishing, hunting or trapping licences and other outdoor activity items.

Download the 2021 CT Fishing Guide that covers both fresh and saltwater rules.

Note: New for 2021, circle hooks are required when bait fishing for striped bass. This is in reaction of declines of striped bass where 90% of fish mortality is due to recreational fishing. See more info from the American Saltwater Guides Association website.
