July holding strong with great fishing

Cold water releases have been implemented to a maximum release of 1,500 CFS out of the Cannonsville Reservoir.  This is providing cold clear water all the way down through Narrowsburg.  Walleye, Bass, and Trout are all fishing well right now.

1st week of July

This first week of July has brought rain and high water.  The reservoir's of our East and West branches of the Delaware are both spilling at over capacity.  This high water yields quality subsurface trout fishing on only a few sections of river.  The river is high and muddy and needs to settle down a bit to restore quality summer bass fishing and moderate flows.  The days we have been on the water recently have brought beautiful trout to the net.  Book a trip today!

Second Half of June, Lotsa Fish!

The second half of June has brought some great fishing!  The releases were increased from the Cannonsville dam, and water is flowing cold through Lordville, NY.  Trout fishing has been on fire.  Early mornings have been great for subsurface fishing, and with the middle afternoon  bug hatches fish are opportune to be taken on the fly.   Schedule your July or August trip today!  Smallmouth Bass fishing in the evenings will be great throughout the summer! As well as weather permitting trout target float trips.  Book today!

 

Here are photos from our recent successful anglers!
