Fish the Saugatuck April 23

On Saturday, April 23, the Nutmeg Chapter of Trout Unlimited will host an outing on the Saugatuck River in Westport (weather permitting).  We’ll meet on Ford Rd near the bridge that crosses over to BridgeWater Associates. There’s ample parking along Ford Rd.

Organizer David Ader suggests a 3-5 wt rod 8 or 8 1/2 ft.

Stoneflies should be abundant, BWOs. Adams, Parachute Adams, caddis emergers and generic nymphs and wooly buggers. He’ll bring his Tenkara rod if anyone wants to give that a try.

We’ll meet at 8:30 to beat the crowd and stay to mid-day at least  There is a chance we’ll change location to the West Branch of the Saugatuck in Weston off Newtown Turnpike if the fishing there looks good. The area gets little pressure but is compact and wading is a big difficult and the trees have more of my flies than my current fly box! We’ll let you know if we change locations.
