Big Brown Trout on the Farmington River, October 18, 2025

$387.00

With cooling river temps, active bugs, and peak spawning right around the corner, October has proven to be one of the best times to target big brown trout. We’re heading up to the Farmington River for a full day wade-trip with some of our favorite guides, whose knowledge of this river is second to none.  This trip will combine skills and stealth in pursuit of sizable browns.

Groups of two anglers will be paired up with one guide, and will be provided with personal instruction, flies, leaders, tipper, and rod set-ups. We will meet at UpCountry Sportfishing around 7:30AM, and then split up with our guides in order to be fishing by 8AM.  We will fish with our guides until mid-afternoon. Your Juliana's host will have a cooler with drinks and snacks to share on the river that you can grab from in the morning. However, Anglers will have to provide their own brown-bag lunch that will be eaten riverside at their leisure.

This trip has been a great success in the past and presents an amazing opportunity to land a picturesque, buttery brown trout. Many of our anglers have landed their PB (personal best) on this river, and we hope history repeats itself on October 18th!

Required: Connecticut fresh-water fishing license with a trout stamp, waders w/ belt, wading boots, wading staff, and polarized sunglasse, hat and bug spray. Anglers are welcome to bring their own 5- or 6-weight fly rod & matching reel and/or nymphing rig, fly line, leader & tippet, but our guides will also provide all necessary rod and reel set-ups, flies, leaders, and tippet. 

Note: This is a one-day trip.  If you would like to book an overnight stay, we recommend looking into Legends BnB.

Cost: $387.00 per angler covers guides, tips, snacks & beverages
