Thanks for the help guys. I'm not sure where the gator gar that was in lfs recently came from but I do know it was someone's who no longer wanted it. I also seen a pic of someone in Torrington who owns two spotted gar

I see gar for sale in CT all the time so I find it hard to believe that they are illegal here. These are reputable stores too, so I highly doubt they would risk being shut down just in order to sell some gar. I would call the DEEP and get in touch with them. They can tell you if gar are illegal or not.


OK-So I called the DEEP and spoke to a very nice man, Gar are indeed ILLEGAL in CT. He was very surprised to hear about fish stores carrying Gar in CT. Hope I didn't get anyone in too big of trouble!

Hmm I hope I didn't get no one in trouble either. I was just curious cause I've also seen a few different types for sale in the recent months. Then when I read the post I decided to look into it
