Eastern CT Fly Fishing, SM LLC

Eastern CT Fly Fishing, SM  LLC Fly-fishing Lessons & Guide Service Welcome to Eastern CT Fly Fishing. Connecticut has many opportunities to fly fish for trout.

While not as popular as fishing Connecticut's premier trout fishery, the Farmington River, Eastern Connecticut provides numerous rivers, streams and small brooks to pursue brown, rainbow and brook trout. Having fished many of them, I can provide knowledge and experience on what they have to offer throughout the season. In addition, growing up literally minutes from the Farmington River, I can give you valuable insights and experiences on how to fish my "home waters".

My youngest lab has an incredible nose even for a Labrador. She smelled this dead brown under the water and retrieved it. Too bad this big male died on a small, private brook, just before spawning season. We left it for the nighttime critters to feast upon.

Now that summer is upon us in a big way, I am focusing more on providing lessons and guides on the Farmington. That being said, guiding and giving lessons on some eastern streams this year was very nice!

This year's traditional " Opening Day " was a bit special for me because it was the first year Jacob really wanted to go fishing without me dragging him along. He's always been a good sport about it, and he's always enjoyed Opening Day traditions or just fishing with me. However, this year, he has taken up the interest of fishing on his own more....

It's been a while since my girls have been fishing with me, they loved every minute! My camera on phone is damaged so the pictures are not the greatest but, the memories will last forever. Their fishing trips always end up pup cups. Now they are happy and tired. Today was a great day!
