Mass Audubon Society published a book called Inland Fishes of Massachusetts*, which included some tiny (but accurately rendered) distribution maps for hundreds of fishes in the Commonwealth, including trout.

By scanning the tiny distribution maps, enlarging them 10x, and comparing them to survey maps, we've been able to assign the distribution symbols in 4 basins.  Click on the basin below to bring up the maps.

PLEASE NOTE: A NUMBER OF WILD TROUT STREAMS IN THE CONNECTICUT BASIN ARE BEING STOCKED WITH ATLANTIC SALMON FINGERLINGS.  SALMON PARR RESEMBLE BROWN TROUT.  WE HOPE YOU'RE PRACTICING CATCH AND RELEASE ANYWAY, BUT BY LAW YOU MUST RELEASE ALL SALMON PARR.  LEARN THE DIFFERENCE HERE.
