Moderator Palmyra PAPosts: 3233 | Two fantastic days floating out of the Delaware River Club. I've known the manager Jeff for many years, and he always treats me like family. He set up the trip and it was one of the best I've had anywhere. We caught a few on streamers and one on a nymph, but most of the fish were on dries, and most were 18 inches and up. I'll post up a few more photos when they arrive. I pulled this first one from their blog at http://thedelawareriverclub.com/blog/ | |

Moderator Palmyra PAPosts: 3233 | Yes, drift boats can be a pain when you're wading. The guides are generally respectful and careful to go behind wading fishermen. My guide Bruce Miller took great pains to avoid going in front of any wade fishermen, and we simply didn't fish anywhere near where guys were wading. It's too bad everyone who owns a boat isn't as considerate. Now that the water is coming down wading should come into its own, and there will be many fewer boats up at Stilesville. Good luck and tight lines. | |

Oscoda, MI Posts: 2611 | Nice fishies, Louis! Haven't seen many of our members posting any fish pics lately. It's been so cold, wet, and windy around here I haven't gotten out very much myself. Well done! Jonathon | |
No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||

Moderator Palmyra PAPosts: 3233 | Thanks Jonathon. The Delaware fish make you work for them, but some days can be magic. | |
