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).
Who cares about thermocline?
You Should! HEAT KILLS!
Run a mile in 90+ degree temperatures then put your head in a bucket of water. How long would it take to recover? Scott Simko notes that the mortality rate for released fish has been on the rise. He goes on to say: "During and a few hours after members have left the club I'm seeing floating trout that have been released and thought to have survived. And these are only the ones that I see. I can only imagine the number I don't see because they sink to the bottom or are picked off by the birds."
Pine and Birch remain open for fishing but if you fish be prepared to take your fish home.
The Sixth Sense
To be successful fly fishing on Stillwater, you must develop a sixth sense for what is happening below the surface.

Celebrating Our 61St Year
OPENING DAY APRIL 3rd, 2018 - Welcome
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.
