About this water
The Pawcatuck River forms the border between Rhode Island and Connecticut and offers excellent fishing for sea-run brown trout, striped bass, and American shad during seasonal runs. The tidal lower section near Westerly is particularly productive for stripers in spring and fall. Wading and bank fishing are both viable from public access points.
