Day Trip on the Housatonic River, November 8, 2025

$387.00

The Housatonic River - It’s just like the Farmington except closer to home! And okay, maybe a little bit smaller, but you get the idea. The Juliana’s are heading to the Housy (as locals call it) in early-November to target big brown trout during the fall spawn. We will once again join some of our favorite guides from Connecticut for a full day wade trip. 

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 Housatonic Meadows State Park - Picnic Area (not to be confused with Housatonic Meadows State Park which is just up the road) around 7:30AM, split up with our guides 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 that you can grab from in the morning, but Anglers will pack their own brown-bag lunch that will be eaten riverside at their leisure.

Don’t let cooling temps stop you from getting your fish on! Fall is one of the best times to hit the river and we hope to see you on Saturday, November 8th!

Required:

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

Note: This trip is currently open to 6 anglers. If the trip is full and you are interested in joining, please reach out to Laura Grose who may be able to secure additional guides. 

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