Delaware River

I use to fish that stretch in the early 2000s. it gets "hairy right past the beech and the rapids are right around the bend. I was able to get up it one day but coming down with the water pushing you is hard. honestly I wouldn't do it again. its truly not worth it. best part of that stretch is the channel below the rapids and the bridge. I never caught any thing special in that stretch. have not been back in years . I have a vhull with 9.9

I have nerver been fishing at milford.but i recently did some scouting up there.You can launch your boat at Belvidere boat launch and fish about a 2 or 3 mile stretch north and south of the ramp.I saw a bunch of boats fishing there that were 16 footers with regular outboards.While at the boat ramp i cast out and catch a 21 inch walleye and on the next cast i catch a smallmouth.Talked to a coulple of boaters who said they had a musky follow thier baits.I am planning on taking my 16 footer up this september.I then talked to a fisherman who told me that there is a ramp about 2 miles north of Easton PA on the Pennsylvannia side on RT 611.I drove down there and sure enough i saw boats going up and down the river.You can google the name of the boat launch and i think its located at an old mill site.Hope this helps.

The upper Black Eddy ramp is very shallow and tough to launch from. The lot only holds about 6 cars. If it's full there is a large grass field about two houses downstream. An old lady sits on her porch across the street and takes 10 or 20 bucks to let you launch / park there with better access. But the belvidere and holland church launches (riegelsville) on the jersey side are way better for a 16 footer.
