Lou Tabory is from Redding and as I remember he talks about fishing the Norwalk Islands in his book Inshore Fly Fishing
Picking up a copy of that book wouldn't hurt. He also wrote Lou Tabory's Guide to Saltwater Baits & Their Imitations.
The Tabory Snake Fly is a go-to fly for me.
Another Connecticut author is Ed Mitchell who has a few books worth reading as well. Fly Rodding the Coast is probably his best.
