Fly Fishing the Farmington River
The crown jewel of fly fishing for trout in Connecticut, the West Branch of the Farmington River flows from the base of a 200-foot dam, providing a consistent flow of 50-degree water. The optimal temperatures, careful river management and plentiful insect life provide for a blue ribbon brown, brook and rainbow trout stream with the chance at a trophy.

Fly Fishing the Housatonic River
The most scenic, "western-style" freestone stream in the stae, the Housatonic River flows from small mountain streams in the Berkshires all the way to Long Island Sound, offering opportunities to fish for trout - including a 9-mile fly fishing only section - as well as smallmouth bass, carp, pike and striped bass in the saltwater estuary. A fickle river depending on weather and rain, the Housatonic has some of the finest dry fly fishing for trout and incredible summer opportunities to chase warmwater species as well.
