4-Hour Guided Skiff Trip*
If a personalized saltwater guided fishing trip in a shallow water skiff sounds like fun, this trip may possibly be it!
I am a USCG Certified Captain & Licensed Guide in Connecticut & Rhode Island. My season starts in the Spring (May) chasing striped bass during the cinder worm hatch and I finish my season in the Fall (late October) after the fall migration. I primarily pursue shad, striped bass, bluefish and the occasional sea robin! You may even have an opportunity to sight cast to a few fish, which can be the most rewarding type of fly fishing!
I will tailor your trip to your level of experience and casting ability but casting ability is preferred. It will make for a more pleasurable experience!
Equipment:
The use of top-notch fly-fishing equipment from Cortland, TFO, Orvis, Tibor, Abel and Ross are provided but don’t hesitate to bring you own!
Location:
I am located in Mystic, CT and guide the eastern inshore/coastline between CT & RI

3-Hour Wading Experience*
This 3-hour wading experience is not focused on catching fish, but there is always that possibility!
The goal of this on-water experience is designed to help you learn how to fly-fish with confidence so you can then do it on your own! Freshwater or saltwater, you decide! From putting on your waders, stringing your rod, tying on a leader, tying on a fly, hiking to the water, reading the water, casting, knots, setting the hook, and possibly landing a fish! To include smiling for a photo! Phew, that was a mouthful! Basically, I will be your fishing companion for the day and will be ready to answer any questions you may have to learn & have fun!
