Recognized as one of the ten best trout fisheries in America, the Upper Delaware River system offers the flyfisher a choice of fishing one of three outstanding rivers -- the West Branch, the East Branch and the Main Stem of the Delaware River.

While time of year, insect hatches and river conditions can make the call on what river to fish easy, each of these rivers offers a unique fishing experience for wild browns and rainbows that average 12 to 18 inches, and occasionally measure in excess of 20 inches. It’s your choice between a day-long float on a beautiful river, or a series of stops at streamside hot-spots.
The May Bonus:
In May and early June, the three rivers have runs of shad that can provide a reel-smoking thrill for the flyfisher in search of something different.

Costs: $375 for driftboat fishing for one or two.
Lunch included.
$450 for three.  Lunch is included.
Half Day, $300.

The Beaverkill Flyfisher: (April 20 - September 30)

     For those who want to ply the streams where Theodore Gordon introduced the art of flyfishing in America, the sparkling waters of the Beaverkill and the Willowemoc rivers have an attraction that goes well beyond the feisty browns, rainbows and brookies that inhabit them. These historic Catskill streams are virtual fixtures in angling literature, and with good reason: They provide excellent angling in settings that set the muse ablaze in all of us. Barring unusual conditions, the mayfly and caddis hatches are steady and predictable, and the dry fly aficionado can experience a truly unforgettable day when the timing is right. This is streamside fishing only.

Costs: $375 for two. Lunch included.
$450 for three.  Lunch is included.
Half Day, $300.

The Slammin’ Salmon: (September 1- December 31)

     If you’ve never experienced the arm-numbing strength of a trophy-sized steelhead, king or coho salmon, New York’s Salmon River can provide you with a fishing workout that will create a lifetime memory. Clearly one of the best in-land salmon fisheries in America, this Ontario Lake tributary near Pulaski, NY, routinely produces steelhead of up to 15 pounds, king salmon of 30 pounds and more, with cohos often tipping the scales at between 10 and 15 pounds.

We fish for them from streamside and driftboat, and when they’re "in and running" the fishing is unbelievable. The Brown Bonus: In early fall, lake-fed brown trout run side-by-side with the cohos and kings, and can provide an eye-popping bonus for the day.

Costs: $375 for two. 
$450 for three.  
Half Day, 300.

The Susquehanna Bass-h (July 1 - August 30)

      If you're looking for a change of pace from the steady pursuit of trout, Captain Adrian LaSorte has added a new outing to his creel of trips for the flyfisher -- the Susquehanna Bass-h.  This mid-summer trip takes you along a picturesque, 20-mile stretch of the Susquehanna River, where leapin' smallmouth  bass are the quarry.  We often hook up with bass that go three to five pounds.  Huge hatches of white flies and a wide array of other insect life provide plenty of action for the flyfisher -- on top and below.  This is a trip that can make even the most ardent trout angler think twice about how to spend his or her time on those hot days in July and August.  Try a day on the Susquehanna.  It's a bass-h.

Costs: $375.00 for two.
$450 for three.  Lunch is included.
Half Day, $300.
