Welcome

The Long Island Sound's Saltwater Fly Fishing Specialists

 

Where we fish...........................
We fish the entire Long Island Sound from end to end. 110 miles long by 20 miles wide with two openings makes the Sound a very unique place to fish. It's a nursery for New England's bait. The Five Mile River in Rowayton is our home port. Within 1 hour from Manhattan. Once you park take 20 steps from your car to our "State of the Art" saltwater fly fishing boat. Four Minutes later we are in open water heading to the Norwalk Island's best fishing spots...
 
Season................................
The Long Island Sound has one of the longest fishing seasons in New England. Striped Bass arrive in April in search of warmer waters and food. The salt ponds and estuaries along the CT coastlines offer easy access to both. Bluefish follow Menhaden. Typically late May is when we see the first signs of Bluefish. Anchovies arrive in early August and with them Bonito. False Albacore arrive in force at the beginning of September. Albies can stay until late October. The Fall Run kicks into gear at the beginning of October and lasts till Christmas. Some of the biggest fish push through the Sound between November and January.
