Guided Trips

A Full Day Guided trip begins at 8 am or earlier depending on the weather. We will fish for approximately four hours before breaking for a lunch. After lunch, we will fish for four more hours and can expect to be back to the initial meeting spot between 4:30 and 5 pm. We will be wading in the river and walking up and down the bank, so it is important to wear clothes that are comfortable and will protect from the elements. Having layers is highly recommended and encouraged. I can provide flies, leaders, and tippet that will be needed for the day, I can also provide a rod and reel if needed. Lunch, snacks, and drinks will be provided. Having your own water bottle is encouraged.

Cost for a Full Day Trip is $425.00

Small stream or Blue Lining is a great way to dip your toes into the world of fly fishing, and to hone your skills. A small rod is best for this type of fishing (I prefer a 7'6" fibre glass 3wt), and waders are frequently not needed during the warmer months. Quick drying pants are recommended. I will provide the necessary tippett, leader and flies. I also have a rod and reel for you to use if you don't have your own. The small stream trips are all half day trips, but bring good shoes that you are prepared to do a lot of walking in and plan on getting them wet. I will also provide snacks and drinks while we are out.

A Fish Along can be either a full or half day trip. These are geared towards anglers with some experience who are looking to get out and learn the rivers. This is a great opportunity to pick my brain and gain intimate insight into some of our New England rivers.
