Just a quick update on the local saltwater scene-if you are looking to hook up on your fly rod or light tackle stick, now is the time to do it!  Bruiser bluefish have invaded local harbors and shorelines, giving anglers a nice challenge to haul ‘em in on the light stuff.  This anry blue was caught by Brian Walker, with Capt. Jim Levison at the helm. Remember to use wire leaders, as these mean machines will shred your mono pretty quickly. We are hearing that bonito and albies have started to appear in the norwalk area, we have local Capt.’s that specialize in chasing these late summer speedsters around. Call us for more info on booking a light tackle or fly charter. Game on!

Fish the Rhode Island shoreline this fall! Join us for late September & October for day trip guided walk n’ wade fishing tours of South county shoreline. The fishing gets hot-albies, striped bass and blues are around, tackle them with a spinning/surf or fly rod. We will show you some great water that thankfully is still under fished. Watch Hill R.I. is only 2 hours from our store, come meet us for a great day cruising the beach’s and hopping the jetty breachways. Call us for info regarding schedule & rates.

We have just received some new fiberglass fly rods from FH Paddock Fly Rods. Custom built one at a time, wonderful small stream fly rods from a local builder of distinction. Excellent casting fishing tools, made to a high standard. Come on in and check them out before they “fly” out of here! Visit fhpaddockflyrods.com for more info.

This monster 27″ brown trout was caught yesterday by our new buddy Dan-a supposed “novice” angler, who must have had some time landing and releasing this fish! Great job Dan!

Nice day on the water today, good water + bugs= nice rainbow! Sometimes things actually go according to plan…….

The headlamp warrior has done it again! Beauty of a brown caught and released 6/29. We were told that it was caught “somewhere” on the east branch. Gee that narrows it down…….Anyway, thanks for the fish photo’s-please keep sending them in to bedfordsportsman@aol.com.
