April started off with below average temperatures, snow, followed by significant rain. Now that we have seen stable warming temperatures and less rain, the river is in great shape. The past week on the water has provided all time Brown trout fishing. Here are some photos from the past few days.
Spring Fishing!!
April has started off with unusually warm temperatures and low river flows. This is setting a few things on the river ahead of schedule. We are seeing bugs and spawning habits happening up to a month earlier than last year. Being that it is still April and inconsistent weather is holding true, these now cold air temps and wintery weather should put a slight pause in the early spring trends. But for now, the fishing has been productive for Browns and Rainbows, and of course in Delaware fashion Walleye and Bass are still feeding.
Walleye Season ends, March brings nice weather.
Sweetwater Guide Service was able to get out on the river a few days here in early March. The fishing was good. Walleye season is now closed until the first Saturday in May. We will be targeting Brown trout, Rainbow trout and Shad, April-June. Schedule your trip today!

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.
July continues with great fishing
Cold water releases have been increased throughout the month of July so far. These cold temperatures are keeping the trout of our Upper Delaware river active.
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!
