NWCTU: Dedicated to Trout Conservation and Fly Fishing in Northwest Connecticut
Welcome to the Northwest Connecticut Chapter of Trout Unlimited (NWCTU). We are a community of anglers and conservationists dedicated to protecting, reconnecting, and restoring the coldwater fisheries of the Housatonic River, the Farmington River, and the pristine mountain streams of Litchfield County. Whether you’re looking for the latest Connecticut fishing reports, local fly-tying classes, local fly-casting classes, or ways to volunteer for river restoration, you’ve found your home on the water.
