Fly Fishing The West Branch Delaware River

Rob published the entire episode on 11/6. If you only heard the first 1hr5min please finish the show. Rob and Caitlin drove the Xterra north to New York for a wedding over the Labor Day weekend. This was a destination wedding that happened to be on one of the most famous trout streams in the world. Rob has read about this fishery since childhood. This is his first time visiting the Hancock area and fishing the Upper Delaware River. This section of the river is a tailwater and begins a few miles above the resort in the town of Deposit. The water flows cool, clear, and constant throughout the year. Emerald green and slow, the water speed is controlled by the dam release upstream. The West Branch Angler and Resort were excellent hosts. The food, hospitality, and fire pit are unmatched. Rob plans on casting dries to rising fish, stripping streamers for big bad browns, and wiggle mice patterns across the riffles at dusk. Listen as Rob explores the river and its surroundings. He sneaks out of the wedding reception to fish. Be sure to contact Josh for casting lessons. Produced by Jason Reif Youtube slide show and videos. Learn more about your ad choices.
