WMFF’s outing on the Farmington River
On June 24, 2026, a group of the Western Mass Fly Fishermen ventured out to the Ovation Pool on the Farmington River in New Hartford CT. It was a good turnout with four first-timers on the Farmington River.
The members were: John LaFrancis, Don Vacon, Derek Darley, Courtney Booher, Jennifer Putnam, and Scott Seifel. Special thanks to Chris Parisi of The Local Fly Co., who offered his shop as meeting place and pointers on working the river.
Below are photos from the event, courtesy of Chris and Scott.
