| Does anyone fish the naugatuck river for salmon-besides fly fishing, I would like to try it but I'm not sure how the bite is, where are the fishable spots, and what to use. Thanks for the help |

| I've seen reports from Beacon Falls in some of the deeper stretches of water. Inline spinners and spoons are good lures. |

| Review the DEP Web Site. All stocking times and locations are posted. I believe their last stocking was in November in the area of Pines Bridge Becon Falls and above the Dam in Seymour. |

Hi ,
Better read the "Angler's Guide" to make sure you can use those -> Think they can only have a single hook -> No trebles!

Hi,
NO! They are "Atlantic Salmon" and either head down to the sea or die off because the water doesn't stay cold or deep enough!

| You can use inline spinners just not treble hooks for salmon |

| ^Yep. Swap the trebles for a single hook and no additional weight above the lure. |

| thanks for the help guys, do you know when they usually head down to the ocean? I have heard that there are some large/deep pools in the river do you think that could cause them to stay longer? |

Nope!
When they head out to sea -> They GO!

| does anyone ever fish for trout and salmon at the same time, i'm sure you can only use salmon legal lures, but what is a good lure for both salmon and trout |

| Kastmasters, phoebes or any of the inline spinners (blue fox, rooster tail ect...) will all give you a shot at both. Go with a middle of the road size. There are some big trout to be caught in the naugy too! |

Sure are some good trout in the Naugy, Its a trophy trout stream. A few weeks ago I caught a 23" brown. That was the last fish I caught until today and I was really starting to feel that I was really sucking!!!!
