LIMESTONE IS CLOSED as of December 31st, 2019

Limestone completed another successful year where members caught and released bigger trout.  Our program of supplemental feeding has proven results.  The census forms members fill out after their fishing time at LTC allow visibility to this. 

Consider joining our private club and enjoying the fruits of the Fisheries Committee and the Board of Directors.  

Tentative re-opening date: April 1st, 2020

When temperatures drop below freezing good catch-and-release practices become critical. The fragile tissues of their gills can freeze in an instant when air temps are below freezing. They have no body temperature to stabilize their cells, so it happens quickly.

The solution is simple. Don’t take fish out of the water when air temps are below freezing.

It’s a little cold on your hands but you can handle it. They can’t. If you don’t like the idea of putting your hands in cold water during winter but you want to fish, get yourself to Patagonia.

Celebrating Our 62nd Year

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.

For more information about joining, see our Membership page and check out the This is Limestone page.

Sorry, but the ponds are not for swimming.  Pet friendly, but please refrain from allowing pets in the ponds.
