Captain Devlin is based in Norwalk, CT where he's live his whole live. In the mid-1990s to 2006, he split his time between the tri-state area and southwestern Florida, spending half the year in each location. He currently guides both fly and conventional tackle clients (including some Bair fishing). Over the years he's worked at several fly shops. These include The Compleat Angler, Fisherman's World, Boca Grande Outfitters and Patagonia.
He guides for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Atlantic Bonito, Little Tunny and a few other species at times such as Weakfish, Tautog, Black Sea Bass, and Fluke. He targets other local species such as Atlantic Salmon, Sea-Run Brown Trout, and White Perch. He also finds time to chase the Common Carp, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and others.
He pilots a Lake & Bay 17'6" skiff and a canoe to put his clients on fish. He guides day or night, year round in Connecticut. He's also just started to take people on birding and photography outings this season and states that it is something he'll pursue more in the coming years.
