Fishing The Housatonic

When Oliver Wendell Holmes said "There's no tonic like the Housatonic" he was on to something. And if fly fishing is your passion--as it is ours--there is positively no better place to stay than Breadloaf Mountain Lodge while in the Litchfield Hills and Southern Berkshires. With the Housatonic River flowing steps from our property, we are perfectly situated to make your fishing dreams a reality. And since we are a full-line Orvis dealer and we are the only Orvis endorsed Outfitter in the state, we are able to meet both your lodging and fishing needs. All of which makes it easier for you to spend more time doing what you came to do--casting your line into pristine waters filled with brown, rainbow and brook trout as well as small-mouth bass.

Whether you are a seasoned angler or a novice, Breadloaf Mountain Lodge can help make your experience on the local waters an unforgettable one. We offer full and half-day guided trips for individuals and groups (both wading and floating), a wide variety of equipment for rent, our own Orvis-endorsed fly fishing school, a large selection of hand-tied flies and, most important, vast local experience. And don't forget to check out our famous "River Blog", which is known to insiders as the place to go for the latest on current conditions.
