This May has brought awesome bug hatches, decent weather and great fishing conditions. The trout have been keyed into March Brown mayflies regularly, and the Sulphur hatch has also begun. We caught a few stripers on May 17th which was the earliest we have ever caught them north of Callicoon in the river. The American Shad run has been pretty steady, with Many buck and roe shad being caught in the evenings and on cloudy days. Contact us to get on the beautiful Upper Delaware river. Here are some photos from the last few weeks.
Summer Fishing at its finest.
It has been a very productive summer with average to above average water flows. We have caught Striped Bass throughout the summer and are catching Smallmouth Bass regularly at high numbers and catch rates. Poppers and streamers on fly rods have been productive, and 2.5”- 4” soft plastic baits on 1/8 oz jig heads have been the bread and butter for the spinning rods. We have also had a few good trout days, fly fishing early in the AM or late in the PM has been productive. Here are a bunch of photos from the past few weeks!
