| Upper Delaware |
"I was blessed to fish some of the West's most famous rivers. The Upper D is as
good as anything I have ever fished. Fishing on the Upper D isn't a lay up, but the
reward is so worth it - a beautiful system, with great bugs, and wild fish."
George Shave....Freehold, NJ
The Fishing......
The Upper Delaware is considered one of the best wild trout rivers in our country. There are over 75 miles of trout fishing on
the Upper Delaware River system. It is comprised of the East branch, West branch and Main Stem of the Delaware. Each
section differs in character, flow and when they are best fished.
The river and its branches contain a significant number of rainbow trout and a healthy
population of brown trout. The Main Stem has a larger ratio of rainbow trout to brown trout. The
reverse is true for its branches. Fish of 15 to 18 inches are commonly taken with flies. Fish of
20 inches or larger can be caught during favorable conditions.
Hatches on the Upper Delaware River can be prolific at times. The Main Stem and East branch
are best fished in spring and fall when hatching activity is at its best. The West branch and
upper East branch can be fished through the entire season due to bottom releases from
Cannonsville and Pepacton reservoirs.
Guide services are offered for both branches and the mainstem of the river. Full
accommodations can be arrange with minimum 30 day notice. A fifty percent deposit
is required to secure your reservation.
