Featured Testimonial: Our Clients Write In
Hi Joe,
So it's been two days since we fly fished with you and tied flies. you have made this trip one to truly remember, from the amount of Steelhead we caught, and you teaching us how to tie flies. It was an epic trip that will be talked about, with us boy's for ever! We definitely made the best of the toughest conditions. when no other guide was producing, you did it. and that's why we will keep coming back to you and Sindbad for years to come. I think we have turned rick into a true fly fisherman with your help. Graig and I have always been traditional fly boy's, but without your help rick still would be a open face reel type of guy!!! thank you so much for everything you have done to improve Graig and I's fly fishing skill's. you are by far the best guide the salmon river has to offer, and i cant wait to do this again. in the two years we have been relying on your help; you have not let us down. I'm tying flies like crazy now, and what a satisfaction to catch a Steelhead on a fly you tied yourself.
The very best to you and Sinbad
Dan,Greg & Rick

Latest Stream Report
West Branch Delaware: 06/29/2009
Water Temp: 55ºF Flow: 1900 cfs
High Water
The Catskills have been receiving more than average rainfall this year, which has kept the trout streams in the region high.
A couple weeks ago, a strong thunderstorm cell moved through the area dropping nearly 3 inches of rain. This event brought the river to historically high levels, near 6000 cfs, and heavily stained.
We are stilling watching the water daily, waiting for it to become advantageous to fish again.
With all of the water coming over the top of the dam, reports indicate streamer fishing has been productive, with little hatch activity. Basically turn your clock back to April and try those tactics.
The bright side? The hatches may last longer or come on stronger when the time comes. Be on the look out once the river hits the 1500-1200 cfs mark. If you go, be careful wading.
