Our destination is the Deerfield River in western Massachusetts with Brian Comfort, owner of Deerfield Fly shop. The Deerfield ranks among the best tailwaters in the Northeast. With diverse hatches and water types, anglers can find great dry fly fishing and escape the crowds on this remote and scenic river.
Brian shares what makes the Deerfield River so special, how to navigate the multiple dams and tailwaters that make up this system, major hatches, and how to target those big browns lurking in nearly every hole. Bonus: Tarpon in the Virgin Islands, giant trout in New Zealand, and technical trout on Swift River, plus, was it a good idea to buy a fly shop during covid?
