The Upper Delaware River & Western Catskills:  This area is home to the upper section[s] of the Delaware River; book your Prime-Time date[s] with Chris from April 20th through October. Yes, the fishing here is THAT GOOD. Yes, there's a chance you will forget all about your home river[s]. Don't say we didn't warn you.

 

Utilizing our Hyde XL [Low Profile] Drift-Boat to accommodate two anglers, with Chris on the oars, we will primarily be conducting float & wade combo-trips on the Upper Delaware River system on the PA/NY border; in the western Catskills. The West Branch of the Delaware is, by far, the jewel here. Arguably, the premiere fresh-water destination fishery east of the Rocky Mountains.  

 

Four-hour half days, and eight-hour full-day trips are available. Morning and evening half-day floats depart according to weather, bug-hatch, light, & flow-rates with full-day floats covering a lot of prime water during peak fishing hours.​

 

Layered outerwear and a decent rain jacket thrown into your bag to deal with the ever-changing weather conditions found here are also important must-haves on your excursion. The rapid weather changes and micro-climates in this part of our country can turn on a dime.  A little prep goes a long way.

   

Another mandatory item:  Polarized Sunglasses.  Not just for spotting illusive fish in the water, sunglasses offer a base-level of safety for your eyes where rod-tips and fleyes with sharpened hooks are being cast airborne.  While we preach rod/line/leader/fly management and control with our clients, we just wouldn't feel right taking people out without the right protection.  No cool angler shades?  We'll hook you up with a local fly shop to check that box off too.  No need to break the bank, but better safe than sorry.

​

Sun Protection:  Yes, even on cloudy days.  Sunscreen in the 15 SPF to 50 SPF range works, but sun-protection clothing is better, won't grease-up your hands, gear, fly line or leader.  We're fans of sun masks & sleeves and/or gloves, and a favorite hat.​
