Taylor Brook is a public river in Northeastern Connecticut 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.

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. Buy from CT DEEP at portal.ct.gov/deep.
