The Moosup
This river is really like two rivers in one. From the area in the town of Moosup (the Old Brunswick Mill Site) to Rte. 14 in Central Village it is open fishing. There are many good spots to fish here on the upper Moosup. The next part from Rte 14 to the Quinnebaug river is a Trout Management Area. This area is catch and release only. It is also broken into two parts. One for any type of spinners and the lower section is Flyfishing only. It is clearly posted on the river banks. I fish this river quite often in the later part of the season because it is very shaded and cool late in the year. Some of the largest trout I have taken on a fly come from this river.
Streamers---Woolybuggers, Sculpin Imitations and Red Nose Dace.
Caddis---This seems to be the best choice, Dry or Emergers.
Nymphs--- Stone flys, Hares ear.
