{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: West Branch Delaware Trip Next Weekend

Just to follow up on this post, we ended up having five of us attend.  Water was really low (300 cfs) meaning drifting during the day was out of the question.  I did tow my boat up so we got up at 5:00 AM Saturday and Sunday to drift a section and throw big streamers before anyone else was on the river.  Didn't land anything on Sunday, but there was a little rain on Friday night so the river was cloudy on Saturday morning.  We rolled about 15 nice trout and landed three.

As for the rest of the weekend very little activity on top, but nymphing ended up being the ticket.  I landed over 30 fish over the two and a half days, an epic weekend on the West Branch!  I have attached a couple pictures of the best fish.

If folks can get up to the West Branch of the Delaware at some point it is an incredible fishery with big fish and big hatches.  If you time it right, it can be incredible!  That being said in years past we have had weekends where we only landed 2 or 3 fish among us, so patience is key!  I can also vouch for the folks at West Branch Angler, they are a great group of folks and have a great set up right on the river.

Hey!  I am taking a group of friends up to the West Branch of the Delaware next weekend (Friday through Monday).  We have two riverside cabins reserved and could likely fit an extra guy or two in if anyone wants to tag along to spread out the cost.  You can either hang out with us or not, up to you!
