Upper Delaware float
 

Low water on the west branch so our guide took us out to the lower east branch and into the main stem. Sunny day + clear water and a lot of trout homing in on topwater flies, however plugs still put some fish in the boat. Jigs were good for deeper holes but no trout taken there, just walleye smbs and fallfish. Most trout were caught in skinnier and faster water.

We might revisit soon via canoe, last year the smb bite was incredibly fun.

Nice fish.

There are some gigantic fall fish in the D. I've gotten big ones near Milford and Columbia fishing buggers for smb.

Re: Upper Delaware float
 

yes and TBH they're just as fun as the other fish, they hit jigs and fight pretty decently. That one Nick has in the picture was all lit up and had the horns too. :cool: We will be trying those parts of the D soon

Absouluty a cool report those photos tell all..that fall fish is a big one. looks like you guys did well and had fun doing it.

Re: Upper Delaware float
 

Interesting mixed catch. When I was 17, I had a musky of about 20 pounds take a fallfish I trolled at the river's surface. Never got a good hookset.

Can tell that was a wonderful day up there.

Looks like a great trip, is this the East branch in New York? Sorry if that’s a stupid question, but it looks like somewhere I’d like to take the kayak. Not looking for any secret spots, but if you wouldn’t mind a point in the right direction I’d really appreciate it...thanks
