The Natchaug River Eastern CT's Finest
Wonderful opportunities currently on the Natchaug for dry fly fishermen and women!
The CTDEEP has fully stocked the river with largely rainbow trout and some fall holdovers are in the mix. They've done a great job in providing some large rainbows this year and of course the browns are still in the mix with an occasional tiger and brookies!
We've seen Blue quills/Mahogany duns, Hendricksons, and Stone flies earlier. Hatches start typically around 1:00pm until 4 and again from 6 pm to dark. LOTS of spinners present during these times...be sure to have a size 14 spinner pattern in your arsenal! Caddis show up through the day. Emergers fished just below the surface as well have brought many trout to hand since late March...as the CT trout season is now a year round opportunity. Long leaders and tippet will be best in some of the tricker currents.
Recent rains and more forecasted have put water levels and flows in perfect shape. As regulars know this great stream is totally dependent on rainfall to extend the season as long as possible.
Here's Steve with a fine rainbow, one of many we brought to hand on this recent day.
If you haven't experienced the Natchaug or are unfamiliar with the river and access points, we can plan and afternoon or evening with you. Once you've experienced this wonderful early season gem, you'll be back!

Sulphurs? Pale Evening Duns? Vitreus?
Call them what you will...they are hatching on the Natchaug. It's been a few years since we've seen a substantial hatch of these yellow beauties, and conditions this week were perfect for their appearance.
