We have shifted to our Fall schedule at the store-
Open Thursday-Sunday
We will be closed 9/26 & 9/27
River is looooow at 205cfs. Still fishing for SMB but trout can be back in the mix very soon. Watch your water temps.
The leaves on many trees are signalling summer is over as we move into the Fall Harvest Season. I have deployed my trail cameras and in full preparation for deer hunting season starting 9/15.
Great to get back out in the woods!
When water temps start to drop, we can get back to the Trout on the river. How they did this summer is a reasonable question. I can tell you that there have been many incidents of poaching and illegally taking trout from the Housatonic and other rivers throughout the state by any means necessary. This has included netting, standing in the water and splashing the fish out onto the banks, use of spotters and filling of bags and coolers with our precious resource.
If you see something, say something!
We will be running guide trips throughout the Fall so give a call to get on the schedule. "Treat a Friend to a Bend" Book a driftboat trip spin fishing or fly fishing and hit the upper, lower or TMA sections of the Housatonic! Great way to spend a Half or Full Day! The boat is for 1 or 2 anglers.
Conditions have been very cooperative this season and we are having another outstanding fishing season. Repeat of the phenomenal last year for trout and bass. Loaded with Night Crawlers, Garlic Night Crawlers and Trout worms.
