Seasons On The Delaware

​

Join Bob on his drift boat as he floats one of the greatest fisheries in the Lower 48, the Delaware River System.  Bob’s mentor described fishing the Delaware as “Everything else is checkers.  The Delaware is chess!  This system fuses a highly technical dry fly tailwater fishery for trout with what many consider one of the Top 10 warm water fisheries in the nation.  We will discuss the skills necessary to take trout who attend MENSA meetings as well as the belligerent smallmouth bass.  In addition to the skills developed on the demanding Delaware proving successful on home water, the techniques Bob discusses transfer to trout waters everywhere - and even to warmwater rivers and saltwater.  This very thorough presentation is sure to hold something for everyone.
