New this year, Connecticut’s Fishing and Hunting Guidebooks are now online in an eBook version, allowing anglers to to quickly check a regulation, confirm legal hunting hours, check season dates, and more – from anywhere, anytime.

While DEEP is still printing some fishing and hunting guides (available in limited quantities), it is asking hunters, trappers, and anglers to do their part and make use of the digital options.
