SEMATU March meeting

Jeff will lead us on a journey from the tumbling native and wild trout headwaters of this fabled freestone stream, through the more than seven miles of fly fishing only trout water where large buttery browns lurk in the depths. The trek will continue downstream through some incredible smallmouth habitat - where it's rumored some big carp and pike cruise the shallows - all the way down to the Long Island Sound where striped bass can be targeted on flats and in channels at the river's mouth. You'll never look at the "Housey" in the same light. Jeff is a guide, author and the national Director of Engagement for Trout Unlimited and has held nearly every volunteer TU position on the board of his local Mianus Chapter and the Connecticut Council. He has been fishing the waters of Connecticut for more than 30 years and has been guiding for nearly two decades. His book, Fly Fishing Fairfield County:" Secrets of Suburban Streams, details the great trout fishing available in the southwest corner of the state.
