The Story

The headwaters of the Connecticut River offer some of the finest fly fishing in New England and the East! Whether this is your first time fly fishing or fly fishing has been your passion for years, the Upper Connecticut River offers good accessibility and a variety of fishing opportunities. The trophy stretch of the Upper Connecticut River, a short distance from our shop, is a 2-mile stretch of the river that is fly fishing only. In this stretch of river you'll find native landlocked salmon, brook trout, rainbow trout, and brown trout.

We're here to help! We offer a full-service Orvis Fly Shop, complete with fly suggestions, rental fly-fishing gear and knowledgeable Orvis-Endorsed fly-fishing guides to show you the river and teach you how to fish it successfully.

Our fishing season stretches from early May and stays consistently good until the season ends October 15. Our good, consistent fishing is thanks in part to two tailwater dams which keep the river flowing cold all summer long. Diversity is another great asset!

Do you like to float the river? The Connecticut River and the Androscoggin offer great fly fishing and we offer driftboat guide services on both rivers.

We can outfit your entire northern New England trout fishing vacation! Check out our cozy cabin accommodations; we have a cabin for every angler's taste and budget. We have been in operation since 1929.

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

Region/Terrain Where You Fish:

At the northern tip of New Hampshire you'll find the headwaters of the mighty Connecticut River. Starting as a trickle near the Canadian border in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, the Upper Connecticut River forms a chain of lakes—the Connecticut Lakes—before making its 400-mile journey to Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The Connecticut Lakes are deep, coldwater lakes, home to lake trout and landlocked salmon.

The Upper Connecticut River itself holds native brook trout, rainbow trout, and large brown trout. Landlocked salmon make their way into the river during spring spawning runs of baitfish and during their fall spawn. The river has fly-fishing only regulations on 5 miles of river. Most of the river is open to lure and bait as well. Two tail-water dams provide cold river water for miles downstream making summer fishing on the Upper Connecticut River excellent.

Remote ponds with good brook trout populations—some with fly-fishing only regulations—dot the wilderness and are accessible by car using well-maintained logging roads. Diversity and abundance of quality fishing water make Pittsburg and the Connecticut Lakes Region a favorite fishing destination.
