Here at TroutRoutes, our mission is to inspire you to explore confidently with insights and knowledge on where you stand. We strive to empower trout anglers with information to help you go further and discover new waters, new places and new faces. TroutRoutes is proud to be able to connect you to local resources and experts, such as fly shops, guides, local brands and non-profits. We are even more proud to do so while helping protect the limited natural resources we all enjoy through value driven initiatives.

About Us 

Main Stream - Canoeing and kayaking have become  popular sports that people would love to try.  It’s a green sport, promotes outdoor activity, team building, and camaraderie within your team, staff, or group. A great time for beginners to try the sport while traveling with a group of friends and other paddlers. Our business has been conducting business for 50 seasons on the Farmington River in New Hartford, CT.  

Cattaraugus Creek Outfitters is a fantastic guide service based out of Western New York.  Vince, Rick "Fishman" Fisher, John Partsch & Rick Kustich handle the bulk of their guiding duties.  They also work with other WNY guides who were born and raised here.  All of these guys are super people & excellent anglers, and they work hard to do their best each day they are on the water with guests.
