Big Fish in the Connecticut River….
We’ve heard about some Big Fish caught this week in the Connecticut River. A client of fly fishing guide Bill Bernhardt, hooked, landed, and released a huge brown on a drift just a couple of days ago. There are some monster trout in that river.
OMR has guided several days this week on the Trophy Stretch and the fishing was very good. Mostly nymphing with a Tung Head PT, followed by a Dirty Bird as a dropper. They also did well on drys using a Corn Feed Caddis.
I even got out there this week and did just fine with a Tung Head PT, followed by a Hatching Pupa. The Connecticut River water levels and water temperatures are great.
