Your Local Catskill Guide
Rooted in Delaware County
We've spent more than two decades guiding anglers on the Delaware River and its tributaries throughout Delaware County, New York. This is home water — fished in every season, through every hatch, in all conditions — and that depth of local knowledge is what makes the difference between a good day and an exceptional one.
As a licensed New York State guide, he is committed to the highest standards of safety, ethical angling, and environmental stewardship. Every trip is guided with an eye toward protecting the wild fish and pristine waters that make the Catskills one of the great fly fishing destinations in the country.
Whether you're a complete beginner picking up a fly rod for the first time or an experienced angler looking to crack the technical dry-fly fishing of the Delaware, he brings the patience, skill, and enthusiasm to make your time on the water memorable and productive.

Our Philosophy
More Than a Fishing Trip
We believe a day on the water should leave you with more than fish in your net. Here's what guides every trip we take.
Conservation First
The Delaware River's wild trout fishery is a treasure worth protecting. Every trip we run is strictly catch-and-release, using barbless hooks and best-practice handling to ensure fish go back healthy and strong.
Genuine Teaching
We genuinely enjoy helping anglers improve. Whether it's your first cast or you're working on presenting a PMD in flat water to a rising brown, we invest in your development as a fly fisher — not just your success today.
Local Knowledge
You can't learn the Delaware River from a book or a Google search. Our guide's lifetime of experience on this specific water is the advantage you gain when you book with us.
Small Groups
We keep groups small to ensure every angler gets the attention and coaching they deserve. This isn't a cattle operation — it's a personalized experience from start to finish.
The Waters We Fish
