Fishing from the comfort of a

Deerfield River Brown!
Our Goal-
To provide you with a float trip that you will not soon forget. My brother Dan and I have guided 4 years in
Montana and two years in Chile. Our loyalty remains here in western MA where we have guided the past 3
seasons. We grew up fishing rivers around the area and would love to share a day on the river with anyone
who is interested in seeing the Millers or Deerfield. If you have never fly fished before or if you are a
veteran of many tight lined battles, let us show you the rivers we have grown to love from the comfort of our
Aire fishing rafts.
Seasons-
And of course, the Fish-
Spring and Fall are traditionally the best times of the year to float the Deerfield and Millers Rivers but
consistent releases on the Deerfield have made for great fishing all summer long. We will be offering float
trips from April or as soon as the fishing picks up, all the way through late fall. Fishing on the Millers has
been very good in the Spring and Fall, and the Deerfield has been fishing good through the entire season
this past year. We have had great fishing this spring so far and it will only get better. The fish to the left
was a 5+ lb rainbow caught out of the Deerfield on April 14th. Call or email now if you would like to book a
trip or get more information (contact us).
Trout are not the only game in Western MA. We focus on Rainbow, Brown and Brook Trout when we float
the Deerfield and Millers but there are also great opportunities to get into many Shad and Carp throughout
the season(BRING YOUR 8 WTS). Most of the fish we catch will be stocked fish but there are populations
of wild fish that are living and reproducing in the Deerfield and Millers year round. Fish average from 10 to
14 inches and 16-18 inch rainbows and browns are not uncommon. As a bonus there are fish in these
rivers that are in the 18-20 inch range. We also saw a number of fish over 20 to 24 inches this past
season.(see picture above, 22 inch) Although they are not caught frequently, these fish have to eat and
can be caught if circumstances are ideal.
