 The State of Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) stocks surplus Atlantic salmon ("Salmo salar") from the Connecticut River restoration effort in the Naugatuck River each fall.DEEP also stocks several salmonid species including native brook trout ("Salvelinus fontinalis") and non-native sea-run brown trout ("Salmo trutta") and rainbow trout ("Oncorhynchus mykiss").The Naugatuck River is a popular destination for fishing in northwestern Connecticut, though not on the same scale as the Farmington or Housatonic rivers.
