Choose Type of Trip

While we focus on boat-based fly fishing trips, some anglers prefer wade fishing. We can accommodate a variety of approaches and a variety of time periods. We even offer night trout trips which is a great opportunity for a real trophy on mouse flies!

We also offer an Intro to Fly Fishing trip which is a great way to be learn some of the basics of the sport. These 3 hour lessons are not intended to be guided trips but are instructional in nature. We will go over the basics of casting, “reading the water” for where trout are likely to be in a river, insect life to identify what is prevalent at that time of year and make up a trout’s primary diet, gear and fly selection.

In addition we offer ATV excursions and shooting instruction which can also be combined with a fishing trip, just ask!

We can accommodate a single angler up to a corporate outing and have a network of partner guides for large groups.

We can package 2 and 3 day trips incorporating multiple species in different rivers and or Long Island Sound.
