The fish are still shedding their summer doldrums but can't make up their minds as to what to eat. Take a look at the files that got hits and make up your own mind.
The fish healthy and fight hard which is a problem. They don't seem to have the stamina. I guess it takes time swimming around chasing minnows to build up their conditioning. BE CAREFUL! Don't fight the fish to exhaustion.

Grip & Grin is not Dead!
When it comes to handling fish that we plan to release, a few basic practices will go a long way. Same goes for capturing that moment in photographs. Here are a few simple things to consider the next time a fish comes to hand and the camera comes out.
-
Make sure your camera is ready to go!
-
“Three, two, one, lift, and click!”
-
There are times when conditions simply will not allow for a photo, and that releasing a fish soon as possible is the priority.
BLOG for Limestone
If fishing for trout can be challenging. Fishing for trout in stillwater can sometimes be exasperating. This blog is a forum where postings will shed light on things that work, things that are curious, things we wonder about, and things we do at the Limestone (and why).
What can we learn from census data?
Should we be stocking more browns or rainbows?
Where is the best place to fish for a trophy trout?
Where should I fish if I’ve been asked to bring home dinner?
I want my guest to catch a fish, which quarry should we fish?
How would you answer these questions?
The Sixth Sense

Celebrating Our 62nd Year
CLOSING DAY December 31st, 2018
255 days open for fishing in 2018! See you in Spring 2019.
Limestone Trout Club offers fly-fishing in a scenic 94-acre parcel located in the Town of North Canaan, Connecticut. It is a private, members only club - not open to the general public.
Within the reclaimed Limestone quarries is a well-groomed property suited for the needs of fly fishers’ varied abilities. Stillwater fishing is plenty challenging!
The club features six unique ponds, beautiful landscape, camaraderie of its membership, and full time, on-site management. Non-fishing family and invited visitors will find a comfortable clubhouse where you read a book or take a walk outside on trails that circumvent the ponds.
Sorry, but the ponds are not for swimming. Pet friendly, but please refrain from allowing pets in the ponds.
