Well, Vixen...

Not strictly a fly fisherman but all that kind of gear fills my closet. I employ any necessary method short of nets and dynamite.

Not from CT but I do get a license there every year because Liam's Sister-in-Law is from West Hartford and I visit her family with her. One of her cousins is very adept at fly fishing the Farmington. I have access to a semi-private fishing warm water "fishing preserve" (actually, a golf course) in Unionville, CT, not too far from the Farmington River. Nothing fancy or record breaking, mind you. Holds hefty bluegills, chain pickerel, rock bass, largemouth, yellow perch, etc. I have taken brown bullheads on dry flies in one interesting little hole!

Suggest we hook up this Spring. I'd love to check out some of your favorite spots.

Don Sineti and Chris Morgan are at The Sounding Board on 8MAY. I will be up for that almost certainly. What do you say?

All the best,
Dan
