Small early season stoneflies along with winter caddis are bringing trout to the surface on the Farmington River. As the year-round streams in eastern CT, Yantic, Moosup, Willimantic rivers receive initial stockings we should see surface activity as well. Check the latest at CTDEEP.
NOTE: Our email is now team7xflyfishing@gmail.com for those of you that may have our older brochure. Thanks to everyone that visited with us at the recent CFFA show in South Windsor, CT. Great to see new faces and old friends again.
Many of you have asked us about patterns and dry fly tactics on the rivers we fish, especially the Natchaug and Shetucket and several feeder streams. This spring we will concentrate on helping you identify the naturals; early season stones, caddis and a bit later the quills, hendricksons, march browns and of course sulphurs. One key to success is the right leader/tippet set up. Many of our guests join us with leaders that are too short, not properly straightened or without proper tippet. Secondly, tricky drifts can be a problem on all streams and rivers and we'll work with you on proper presentation, controlling drifts and recognizing rise patterns, especially important when the trout are concentrating on emergers
We'll use some excellent techniques from the book "Fishing the Dry Fly as a Living Insect" by Leonard M. Wright, Jr., a great read if you can find a copy in print.
If you're connected with a scout group, veteran's group, rec. department or any group activity with an interest in learning about fly fishing, let us know!
