West Branch - Delaware River
See this guppy? He is the only fish that allowed me to catch him in 2 and a half days of fishing on the West Branch of the Delaware River this past weekend.
Thinking about going? Bring lots of alcohol and a book or two to break the boredom. The water was low, bugs were not consistently hatching, tons of algae (they call it spinach) rolling down river from the dam, and plenty of wind. Probably the worst conditions I have ever seen on the West Branch in the 6 years I have been going. On top of that in the time I was there I did not see a single angler pull a fish out of the river. My friend Craig did catch 2 average size Browns but he is a very skilled fly fisherman.
Believe it or not, I am going back on June 13th for the weekend. I am not sure why but I will fill you in on the carnage when I get back.
