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.
If your visiting the Litchfield Hills this is somewhere you really need to visit. This great shop has something to offer for everyone. Part library,part antique store and full service tackle shop,something for everyone.They also provide guided fishing trips on the Housatonic River.
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!
