Hello everyone.
I am a recent transplant from Seattle. Back there I had fished small rivers and lakes for trout, and large rivers or Puget Sound for Steel head and Salmon.
I am an avid fly fisherman, I tie some of my own flies, and build some of my own rods. I fish as an activity, not a sport. I enjoy the time on the water and the overall experience.
Since I am new, and staying in Stamford, does anyone have a suggestion or two were I could go and wet a line this weekend? I brought along a 4, 6 and 8wt rod with a mix of floating and sinking lines.
Would appreciate a few pointers, and if any wants some company I would be happy to drive, pay for gas, or bring lunch,
Looking forward to my time here on the East Coast.
Mike |

| I have had success on the Farmington river above New Hartford. I hear the Housatonic is nice as well. Haven't fished it, but I imagine that's less of a haul for you from Stamford. |

Hi Mikey, Welcome to CT!
Check out the Mianus Chapter of Trout Unlimited. They have good info for lower Fairfield County. Especially the Saugatuck R trout area. Good fly fishing stuff.
I'm not associated with this club, but all chapters do good things for river habitat. |
