I havent seen many posts about collecting in CT. Is there anyone else out there?! Im curious if there is a complete list of fresh water species that can be found in CT. Even better would be a list of what regions of the state specific species can be found. Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone from CT?

That was a prety cool link. I noticed it did not include fish species that I know can be found in most waters here in CT. Specifically large and small mouth bass. Would this be because they are not actually native to CT?

You should be able to get Freshwater Fishes of Connecticut by Walter Whitworth from the State Geological and Natural History of Connecticut, DEP, assuming it's still in print.
Lousy illustrations and minimal natural history but it's probably up to date on species found in the state.

I am in SE CT. See my introduction in the introductions forum. The State just came out with its new "Pictorial Guide to Freshwater Fishes of CT" which has great photos and info about all CT species including where they are found and usually how to keep them (except for species that are unsuitable for aquaria). Nice to see someone else from CT here.

Middletown, but I'm from Hamden originally and have lived on the coast in West Haven (new haven harbor on the interior of the sandbar), and East Haven (right on an estuary).
Unfortunately, most of the fish location information is incomplete at best, and tends to focus on gamefish. Withworth's book is cool, but a bit dated. Often your best resource are local anglers that really know their ecology, and even then they only know so much and only about certain watersheds.
