I've been using Sweetwater Guide Service for years and Michael and Evan Padua are the best, whether it's fly fishing for browns and rainbows on the upper Delaware or fly- and spin-casting for smallmouths on lower sections of the river. I've fished with a lot of guides and none are more knowledgeable, courteous, and enthusiastic. They are excellent teachers who work well with kids and novices of any age (my fishing partners have included my grandson and wife).
