15-20 years ago I lived in that area and used to fish Hop Brook quite often...It's one of the first places I ever used a fly rod. I think I recognize a few of those pools and pockets...lol. Good job...I don't get out much these days so I very much enjoy your videos.
It was definitely a fun stream. Not sure stockers will last long in there past May, but it’s definitely chock full early in the season. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! Love seeing you fish the same holes I fish. Nice job! You gotta do a shepaug/Bantam river trip down behind Mt Tom. Tight lines brother!!
Waz up my fellow CT angler! I just recently got into fly fishing. It takes the time from ice out to kayak bass fishing! I'm loving your videos man! Thanks Ian
Thanks for that!👍🏻 This one definitely called for a planned out filming session in addition to being on the water. More work than my usual vid, but I was pretty happy with how it came out.
Love my lil Hop Brook ! I stop and drop a few when I’m in a time crunch !! Some really really nice size wild Brookies in the stream on the backside of black rock that runs up to the Reservoir
super! great job! I am very interested in your videos, but the problem is that I have never been fly fishing, spinning is mine, tell me more about the rig if you can !!!!
This is a great new series in the making! Perhaps next time we’ll see a can of CT valley “devils hopyard” in the fridge and see you fish the iconic waterfall 😊
Gotta love a good IPA! So tell me, folks: what’s your favorite craft beer with a fishing-related theme, whether it’s in the name or in the can/bottle art? I found quite a few over the years, both with beers made here in CT and in different states whenever I’ve travelled. Here’s another for ya: “Fatal Fly” brewed by Relic in Plainville!
Though it's not specifically fishing related it's my go to, it makes me think of hitting some blue lines😀😀😀 - Stratford's Athletic Brewing Run Wild(NA).
very nice!

Talk about thinking out of the box the more I watch this video the more I relies how creative you are.

Where are the porters and stouts?
Haha just glancing back at the vid to my “inventory” at that time, there’s at least one of each in there!
@@ConnecticutAngler It is convenient that we have local craft breweries near many of our favorite streams.

@@Adam-ke6uh a good one, for sure! And Double Two Hearted, for that matter.
@@Adam-ke6uh not sure if I’ve had it yet, amidst the several TH brews I’ve tried. I’ll have to work in getting some!
What beer fridge was that?
