Listed in this book are the major pools and runs of the Farmington River. I have chosen to tie streamers for most of them, especially the ones I have, and continue to fish. In time when a whole lot of ambition flows my direction I'll assemble and frame them. While I fish streamers in the "Farmy" and have taken some memorable fish with them I made need the help of a few anglers who fish the "Farmy" on a regular basis to help test these streamers.
Well here go's to ambition and streamers.

This is a pool in the upper region of the Farmington River. It is where the Still River joins the West Branch. Deep swirling waters occur here and it's a great location for a streamer.
Very nice Alan, what size hook are you tying it on?
ReplyDeleteLQN,
DeleteThanks.
It's tied on a Rangeley Streamer hook, size 4 6xl
Stunning Alan!

ReplyDeleteIf I lived near you, the Farmington would be my go to area to fly fish. Beautiful area--thanks for sharing
Bill Trussell,
DeleteThanks.
I'm sure you would find it truly rewarding.
Thanks and if I am not mistaken Lyman had a small fly shop right opposite that rock and I think I still may have one of his streamers!! Hornberg!
ReplyDeleteTROUT1,
DeleteThanks.
Your right Pete. The shop building is still there. I think everyone who fished the Farmington in the sixties early seventies will remember.
I'd sure like to fish the Farmington once time before my time is up.

Come on buddy. I'll show you the prime spots, and supply the flies and coffee.
