THE FISHING |
|
The angling opportunities are both spectacular and varied. From the larger Housatonic River, which is open twelve months a year, to its smaller tributaries, there is almost always productive fishing.
The height of the season begins in the first part of May and runs to the end of October. Tremendous hatches of mayflies, caddisflies, and a host of other insects such as ants, make the Housatonic a superb dry fly fishery. Trout will range in size from ten inches to twenty inches with the bulk of your catch being from twelve to fourteen inches. During the summer months the small mouth bass fishing is excellent and it is not uncommon to catch 20-30 bass a day. The bass will vary in size from eight to seventeen inches and are fierce fighters that take your fly eagerly.
We also guide on the Farmington River which is about a thirty minutes drive from our property.
This river is excellent and comes in to play during the hot summer months of July and August. Because the water released into the Farmington is cool, it is possible to find rising trout in the middle of an August day when the air temps are in the 90's. There are also many small streams that are wonderful to fish and a few good largemouth bass ponds. If you love to fish, then you will love the Northwest Corner of Connecticut.
