The Story

Go fly fishing in Connecticut and enjoy the expertise of Orvis-endorsed guide Bert Ouellette: “Float trips are from the comfort of my 2021 Clackacraft drift boat. All clients have use of top-of-the line fly-fishing equipment and custom-tied flies and litters. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned angler, my goal is to create an unforgettable fishing experience for you—not only by guiding, but by teaching and leaving you with a better and broader understanding of this beautiful sport. First and foremost, I want to make sure you have fun on the water."

The Housatonic is a very scenic New England river. It is a fantastic fishery with a covered bridge, long pools, beautiful riffles, and wildlife viewing.

Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.
