Description

Your home for Guided Float Fishing Trips on the Deerfield River in Western Massachusetts.

The Deerfield River is a fishermans paradise. Not only is it teeming with Brook, Brown, and Rainbow Trout, but is a beautiful river rich in history, scenery and wildlife alike. A diverse variety of features make the Deerfield River the total package for fisherman. Located on the scenic Mohawk Trail, the Deerfield holds miles of superb trout water. The more you see, the more "trouty" it looks. Every pool, every run, every riffle... you want to fish it all! But how could you? It would take a hundred fisherman in waders a hundred years to scrape the surface of this thriving trout fishery.

Cover miles of river in one day on a western style float fishing trip customized to suit you without worrying about dangerous or restricted shore access. Cast after cast. Fresh, unfished, unspooked water. Whether you are just getting started or a seasoned "trout bum," come cast away with us at Pheasant Tail Tours. I've been a professional guide and lifelong Deerfield River fisherman and have a custom float fishing boat that is perfect for fishing the entirety of the Deerfield River system.
