Beacon Hill Brook is a public river in Naugatuck Valley County, Connecticut, managed by Connecticut DEEP Bureau of Natural Resources. You can fish it on a Connecticut inland fishing licence; bank access is at CT DEEP boat launches, Trout Management Area parking areas and bridge crossings. Connecticut has no blanket streambed-access law; away from a public access point, wading or bank fishing may cross private property, so check current signage or ask permission. Public access confirmed via CT DEEP stocked water.
A CT DEEP-stocked trout stream — wild and stocked brook, brown and rainbow trout in cool headwater and mid-size river reaches, several with a dedicated Trout Management Area (TMA) or Wild Trout Management Area under artificial-lures/reduced-limit rules.
It runs roughly 2 miles through the Greater New Haven region. Anglers here mostly fish for brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Old Naugatuck Reservoir and Baummer Pond.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Connecticut on inland waters; some Trout Management Areas and Trout Parks have their own posted seasonal or catch-and-release hours — check current DEEP signage for that specific reach.
Boats: Most Connecticut rivers (the Farmington, Housatonic, Naugatuck, Shetucket, Salmon and Quinebaug) are waded or floated by canoe, kayak or drift boat; only the Connecticut and lower Thames take larger trailered boats.
Bank & bivvy camping: You can fish this river on a Connecticut inland fishing licence; bank and wading access is at CT DEEP boat launches, Trout Management Area parking areas and bridge crossings — check current DEEP signage for any water, as bank ownership and access rights vary by reach.
Tackle: A Trout and Salmon Stamp is required in addition to your inland fishing licence to fish for trout or salmon here; some reaches are Trout Management Area / Wild Trout Management Area water under artificial-lures-only or catch-and-release rules — check the current DEEP Anglers Guide.
Anyone 16 or older needs a Connecticut inland fishing licence — the resident annual is about $28, the non-resident annual about $61 (a 3-day non-resident licence runs about $21). Anyone fishing specifically for trout or salmon also needs a Trout and Salmon Stamp (about $5). Residents 65 and older pay a reduced rate and anyone under 16 fishes free.
