What We Fish For
Offering the best wild trout fly fishing east of the Rockies, the Upper Delaware River provide a plethora of wild brown and rainbow trout, including many fish that stretch between 18 and 22 inches in length. In addition, the river hosts a great smallmouth bass fishery. No matter which fish species you choose to target, the Delaware River Club serves as an ideal home base.
Wild Brown Trout
The Delaware's brown trout average 16" to 17" and often exceed the 20-inch mark. All of the browns are wild, naturally sustaining fish, which makes them super-strong and hard fighting.
Wild Rainbow Trout
The Delaware System and the Beaverkill offer excellent chances to land large rainbow trout that average about 15" to 16". All of the Delaware’s rainbows are wild, hardy, naturally reproducing fish. The Beaverkill offers a mix of wild and hatchery rainbows.
Smallmouth Bass
If smallmouth bass is your game you'll find excellent options on the Upper Delaware, a stretch of river that, in 2007, Field and Stream Magazine included as one of their top-five smallmouth rivers in the U.S. Smallmouth are eager to pound flies and they are considered one of the best fighting fish in the world.
Steelhead
In late fall, steelhead migrate and move into the Great Lakes Tributaries. Steelhead are notoriously explosive fish and our guides anxiously await the season. If you’re looking for an excuse to fish for trout in the winter and early spring, this is for you.
