About Your Trip

Guided float fishing trips don’t get more amazing than in the Berkshires and Southern Green Mountains! Whether your quarry is for trout, bass, pike or landlocked Atlantic Salmon, the fishing opportunities in the beautiful scenery of inland New England is a combination that is unmatched.

This service is suitable for anglers of all experience levels; from kids or adults that have never touched a fishing rod to expert level anglers. The guide is a New England native who has grown up fishing since he could walk with the obsession from day one. On his off days he is probably out on the river hunting a trophy trout or pike of his own. His hunger to fish all the great rivers of New England has taught him many skills and local flies that he has incorporated into his arsenal for his home rivers that he now guides.

With options for half day (4 hours) or full day (8 hours) trips and the ability to cater the trip to whatever you may want to fish or learn, this guided fishing service is designed to make sure you leave with a smile on your face, a stomach full of great grilled food cooked on the riverside and a newfound knowledge of fly angling that will serve you well in the rivers and ponds/lakes of New England and beyond!

***Spin angling trips are provided upon special request but you must provide your own rods, line and lures/bait

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
