Wishing you were fishing? Opening day of fishing in Connecticut is Saturday, April 8. With your state fishing license and a Regional Water Authority (RWA) recreation permit, you and your family can enjoy fishing for trout and catfish at the Maltby Lakes on Route 34 on the West Haven/Orange town line. Permit holders can enjoy miles of wide, well-kept trails through a wilderness that is just minutes from your home. The RWA provides easy-to-read trail maps and offers special events such as nature walks and fishing derbies.
Permits range in cost from $20 for a one-year Individual Permit for seniors, the disabled or students to $50 for a two-year Family Permit. You can purchase your recreation permit anytime online at www.rwater.com/recreation or call 203-401-2654 during regular business hours. Be sure to review recreation program Rules and Regulations before purchase.
