You feel the tug of the cool river current against your legs. Breathing in the fresh crisp morning air you feel exhilarated. Somewhere out in the swirling mist you hear a splash. Standing an arm's length behind, your guide smiles and carefully coaches you as you make a flowing, serpentine cast towards the rising trout. Nose up, the trout takes the fly. Strike! This is your moment, your fish! The rivers of northwest Connecticut provide some of the best flyfishing in New England. Their secrets are many and await your discovery with some expert help from Professional Guide Fred Jeans. A Connecticut native, Fred has fished these waters for over 45 years.
