We had an excellent guided Fly Fishing trip on the Farmington River two Friday's ago. Drew, our guide, knew all the best fishing spots and was very knowledgable about the best technics and flies to use given the current conditions. I would highly recommend their service. Drew even taught me some new easier knots to use. Plus he had a great personality so it made the day fly by.

My son and I have been out six times with Harold's guides over the last two years. You can't find a better way to spend a day with family or friends.
The guys are great and very knowledgeable about the river. We have caught plenty of bass and trout each time. Harold has an impressive store and provides everything you need to have a great day on the river. Get out and enjoy it - you won't be disappointed.

Tristan is a fantastic guide! My brother in law and I were total rookies and he enabled us to catch more trout than we could count! He is patient, a great teacher, and passionate about his trade!

I had the most ridiculous experience with Housatonic River Outfitters, trying to buy a fly rod from them, for my grandson's birthday.
I ordered the rod through Amazon, a month ago.
Initially they said they shipped the rod, but didn't provide a tracking number. I called and asked where the item was. They said they were going to send a replacement. Again, no tracking number was provided. This was a Temple Fork rod, $240. The package never arrived.
Third time Harold said he was personally sending the rod and did provide a tracking number. The only problem is that the rod sent was a much cheaper substitute.
It is baffling that someone would be so dumb to try and do this.

I love going to this store! They are nice people and they have a great selection of fly fishing equipment but also other things like antiques and even furniture! I fly fish the Housatonic river and this store is right near the river. They publish a Housatonic River report on fishing conditions several times a week throughout the year, which I rely on to know what conditions are. The reports are accurate and very useful. Store personnel are very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in to visit this store!

This is a very nice little store - filled with lots of things that anyone would like, not just for fishing. There are really nice clothing, décor items, and other finds that are worth a regular stop to see what they have. Also, if you have chickens that are a bit spoiled they have nice, wiggly worms that make a great treat :)

Great store with a good selection of fly fishing gear. Perfectly located for those fishing but Housatonic River. Get all you need while you're there. Nice wood stove.

I utilized their guide services for a half day on the Housatonic River this fall. The process of setting it up was easy and the shop employee made sure he set me up with a guide who would match my skills and needs. Upon arriving to the shop the morning of the trip, I was greeted by the guide and the staff. We discussed the fishing conditions lately and what we would expect on our day out. The guide had picked out some key flies for the day and looked at what I had in my boxes. I only needed a few, but the shop was well stocked and the guide was super knowledgeable.
The fishing was great that day and I had a lot of fun. It was a great way to get out on the water and learn a new river that isn't too far from home. The guide also showed me some tricks for fishing some flies a little differently and that really helped to step my game and presentation. I would recommend anyone looking to improve their fishing techniques or learn to fish the Housatonic River to give these guys a go!
