The Delaware River Club rests on the banks of the West Branch of the Delaware River, considered to be one of the top five wild trout streams in the nation.

The Club requires no membership and provides lodging, guide services and fly fishing schools.

10/25/2026

The fly shop and lodging are officially closed for the season and the shop will reopen April 1st, 2027. October 21st was the last regular river update until April 1, 2027.

The release from Cannonsville will remain low while the runoff makes its way downriver meeting the Montague flow target. Check the Stilesville gauge link below for the most up to date information. We’re mainly fishing small olives. Nymphing and streamers are putting some fish in the net early with the hatches coming in the afternoon/early evening. There are some Isonychias and caddis around – plus a few hebes.

Thank you all so much for a fantastic 2026 season! We’re going to take a much deserved and needed break and we will see you in 2027!

‼️ Guide Availability Saturday 10/3 ‼️

We had a cancellation for this Saturday, 10/3, so we have ONE guide available. The fishing has been decent with small olives as well as some Cahills, hebes, and sporadic Isonychias. We’ve seen more Isonychia spinners than duns in the last week. The West Branch has a greenish tint to it that is likely the reservoir turning. The fish and bugs don’t mind it and it’s actually better for streamer fishing.

Richard Franklin, with a rainbow he’d like to dedicate to his friend and fishing companion Jerry Wolland. Older Delaware River Club people will remember Jerry from the schools and many of Al’s hosted trips. He was one of the kindest people in our industry.

Olives and flying ants are still the main bugs but there are some Isonychias, Cahills, and hebes around. Blind casting the larger bugs in the riffles can pay off. Nymphs and wets have been putting some fish in the net too.

We still have a few good weeks of fishing left - hit us up if you’d like to schedule a guide trip!

As a reminder, we will have limited shops hours next weekend, Friday 9/18 thru Sunday 9/20 as we host our Paint The Delaware Pink retreat.

Happy September! The release from Cannonsville has been cut back to 450 cfs. We had a few storms pss through overnight so the feeder streams are adding some additional water. So far everything looks good this morning. We have the possibility of 1 – 2″ of rain today depending on how the storms track. If anything changes dramatically we’ll post an update. The ants have been around – not in big numbers but they’re here.
