The West Branch of the Delaware is one of those mystical rivers. Just wading in you feel instantly healed. Scratch that. Just gearing up near her shores breathing in that cold mist you are healed. Your brow begins to unfurl and a smile appears. That’s how powerful this river is. I’ve been fishing her for [...]

With Steelhead runs really starting to pick up on some local rivers I did the unthinkable: I went chasing 8” Wild Brown Trout in ankle deep water. I could almost hear anglers in passing cars yelling out: “You’re going the wrong way!” as I sped away from the coast. Fall is such a grand occurrence [...]

Quietly sipping some water in the shade of a willow tree when an older gentleman came slowly down river swinging wet flies.

With the mindset of solely practicing Down River Wet Fly fishing I stripped every Dry Fly, Nymph, and Streamer out of my Vest and hit the road for a local Spring Creek. Big bountiful blue skies definitely lift the spirit. Until Blam! &^%$! Do I still remember how to change a tire? 15 Minutes and [...]
