Harding Trout Hatchery, Connecticut’s #1 source for trophy trout, is nestled in the foothills of Litchfield County. Harding Trout Hatchery is the highest producing and the only commercial year-round grower in the state of Connecticut. We are a full-time hatchery facility and we pride ourselves on being the largest supplier of clubs, lake associations, fishing preserves and trout derbies in our beautiful state.

Our trout are raised in large tanks and concrete streams to ensure complete control of their environment. We emphasize a quality control initiative practiced by other national growers, assuring a wholesome product. We offer a better fish from the catch to the dinner table and we stand behind our colorful spring water raised trout.
