The Glen, in cooperation with Dianne Matott of Elk Hair Fly Fishing, is offering a woman’s exclusive weekend getaway. In the camaraderie of other woman anglers, learn, enjoy and share your love of fly-fishing.

The Glen’s 160 acre once private estate is one of the original fishing camps in Pittsburg. Owned and operated for the past 43 years by Betty Falton. The Glen is located a mile down a secluded dirt road on the shore of the First Connecticut Lake. This creates the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway to enjoy nature and experience the sport of fly fishing. The specialized care offered by the full staff tends to all your needs, and includes maid service, a full breakfast menu, and traditional New England home-cooked dinner. Meals are served family style in our dining room, with a generous box lunch to enjoy about the grounds or along side the waters edge.
