Fishing guides in Connecticut.
Connecticut's Farmington River is New England's best tailwater outside Maine, holding wild and holdover browns on cold releases from the West Branch reservoirs nearly year round. Striped bass push into the lower Connecticut River and Long Island Sound each spring and fall, giving fly anglers a true two-season state.
