Sportsman Channel Selects Fairfield County as a Top “Sportsman” Summer Destination
Sportsman Channel’s hosts and experts spend their lives hunting, fishing and shooting in many of North America’s most beautiful outdoor destinations. So, with summer officially here, Sportsman Channel surveyed its talent, as well as its newly appointed CEO, an avid outdoorsman, to create the Top “Sportsman” Summer Destinations list. Fly fishing the western Long Island Sound off the coast of Fairfield County makes the top 10 list.
Fairfield County, Connecticut – Fly fishing the western Long Island Sound – The Delamar Hotel – Newly named Sportsman Channel CEO Gavin Harvey prefers to stay local for his summer outing: “After Memorial Day when the New England weather turns warm and the days are long, I beg for invitations from FWBs (Friends With Boats) to chase stripers on the Sound. Launching out of Fairfield County's coastal towns like Greenwich, Norwalk, and Westport, a small navy of dedicated fly fisherman relentlessly patrol the nooks and hooks, reefs and rocks of this beautiful shoreline for our local treasure, striped bass. For this angler, there is no greater rush than launching a clouser fly into a mad frenzy of stripers - who have penned a few acres of baitfish against the surface - and then hooking, playing and landing one of these crazy beasts. Check out Fishermansworld.net or Orvis.com/Darien to get hooked up. If you get hungry waiting for the tide to change, cruise up Five Mile River in Rowayton and tether up the boat at ‘The Restaurant’. And since you're going to feel like a king, you might as well live like one by staying at The Delamar on Greenwich Harbor, where you might see some stripers from your room.” www.thedelamar.com , http://rowaytonseafood.com/home.html
