I'd go with you sometime. I live in Redding, but fly fish on some streams in the Trumbull/Ansonia/Fairfield/Newtown area. If you don't mind hanging out with an old dude. There's the Mill River in Trumbull/Fairfield, the Pequonnock River in Monroe/Trumbull, the Pootatuck out near Newtown, and Sasco Brook by Westport. None of them are world class streams by any means, but they're good to practice on and close. Every once in awhile you get a nice fish. My favorite places in the state are up near Kent and Torrington, but that's more than an hour from New Haven.

I've pretty much hung up my waders for the year unless we get a streak of warm weather, but next Spring I'd be happy to PM you when I'm going to be out fishing. I travel a ton for work so don't get out as often as I'd like and I go up to VT and NH to fly fish a lot. However I hit streams here as well when I can. I have about 30+ years of Fly fishing experience under my belt so you wouldn't have to babysit. Lol

These two books are very much recommended if you're just getting into fly fishing in this state:

Fly Fishing in Connecticut: A Guide for Beginners (Garnet Books) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0819572837/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_n8yCDb4WD4PY1

Flyfisher's Guide to Connecticut https://www.amazon.com/dp/1932098895/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1t2NDbSSYWJTB

Hopefully we can put something together as I'm usually alone on the water, but if not, maybe I'll see you out there sometime. Just look for an guy using old Heddon and Wright and McGill split cane rods, wearing a felt brimmed hat, and smoking a pipe. Tight lines!

Edit: Sorry forgot to include this Trout Unlimited link. There's good info here on where to fish: http://www.nutmegtrout.org/fishing/where-to-go/

FWIW, I moved here about a year ago and snagged the Connecticut Walk Book (yes, an actual book with paper pages). It has something like 860 miles of blue-blazed trail maps and descriptions. For me it was totally worth the $27. I've been surprised how many quality trails are out there.

Amazon link for those interested. Personally, it sounds right up my alley and I think I'll check it out once the semester is over.

In turkey where this originates, it is called a Nazar. Amazon has them.
