We just received some much needed rain this week and the rivers are looking good. Check the water flows and release schedule for the Deerfield. The Millers is pretty high and may need a few days to come down. The Westfield and Swift are in prime fall condition.
We have some great fishing ahead of us and we have availability for guided trips and lessons. Give us a call, email or stop on in.
