Fishing Services

Ask yourself: Am I dreaming of an afternoon get-a-way? Are the walls of my office closing in on me? Would I simply like to enjoy a peaceful day kayaking around beautiful Long Island Sound? If you answered yes to any of these questions - take one day out of your life and reward yourself with the experience of fly fishing. Take a lesson, get a guide, take a kayak tour ... the possibilities are endless. Everyone needs a sanity check from time to time. Get your sanity back with a breathtaking day or night on the water. Take advantage of the treasures that Long Island Sound has to offer.

No one is too young or too old to enjoy some time on the water. Children are encouraged to accompany their older siblings or parents. This experience would be a great Father's Day, graduation, anniversary or birthday gift. Call today and book a trip! We promise that you will not go home disappointed, and will be hooked on fly fishing! If you are a novice, allow Chris to show you the ropes as a veteran guide; if you are an experienced angler, join Chris as he shows you all his secret hot spots in and around L.I. Sound. Mention to Chris that the East Coast Angler sent you for an even sweeter deal!

Professional Photography

Focusing on outdoor lifestyle photography, the majority of Chris' work revolves around the fishing community, illustrating his own passion for the angling world. His talents, though, stretch much further than simply producing majestic images of fish and intense photos of the fly fishing sport. He would welcome any other photography opportunity that you present.
Please visit his website http://www.photosonthefly.com/ to view his portfolio and some of his most current images. If you are interested in purchasing any image please contact the artist directly.
