[@frankmonroe8320]

allways good to you out there!

[@rustbeltwilds837]

Great vid. Hate to see you hurry though lol. Maybe next time ya can take your time and take it all in ???

[@williamheeber3290]

Awesome videos and knowledge, do you do guide service at all?? Trying to relearn after life changing accident..no worries if not, truly enjoy the videos...makes me feel I'm right there catching too👍🦈💪

[@ConnecticutAngler]

No, I don’t do any guiding. Though there are some really great guides in CT that are exceptionally knowledgeable; I’ve no doubt that their services are worth every penny. Glad you enjoyed the vid!

You do the same I do driving along passing rivers streams canals then saying to yourself I bet there fish in there.And the other is any fishermen says to themselves just one fish then I'll go.just like having just one beer.

[@ConnecticutAngler]

And oh, how challenging it can be to ACTUALLY have just that one beer😂!

[@deandutkiewicz5739]

Nice! Glad to see you don’t name the streams you fish.. keeps them pristine 🤙

[@ConnecticutAngler]

For unstocked, undesignated wild trout streams, that’s always the case: I don’t name them. Stocker streams and designated streams are a different story. I have no problem naming them.

I live near Stanford Ct and I just started fly fishing for trout any tips? I love your content and it is cool to see you catch native trout in CT

[@ConnecticutAngler]

Oh boy man, a very general question. A few basic tips off the top of my head: •Don’t overthink fly selection when you’re just starting out. Meticulously matching the hatch has its place, but it’s usually not that important. A dozen of the classic patterns (some nymphs, dries and streamers) is good to catch most trout during most times of year on most streams. Focus on presentation first… it’s usually the more important consideration. •Don’t let the fish see you. They aren’t geniuses, but they aren’t vegetables either. If they’re on to you, they’ll ignore everything you throw. Be stealthy. •In the beginning when fly fishing, persistence in the face of adversity is key. Fly fishing isn’t hard, but there’s a learning curve, for sure. Don’t be discouraged by early failures. Push through, resolve to try again next time with renewed effort… it’ll start to click one day and you’ll never look back. Good luck out there!👍🏻
