So you want to go fly fishing in Delaware. You might want to start on the Upper Delaware River which is considered a fisherman’s paradise. You will find that any stocking of trout has been banned from the Delaware River. The central part of the Delaware River is called the Delaware Water Gap and then you have the Lower Delaware River. This river is considered to be the most challenging and the most diverse water systems on the East Coast.
      If you are fishing in the spring to early summer the American Shad are spawning in the Delaware River. From June through October you can expect to fish for small mouth bass. In the fall you are usually able to pick your water and be by yourself. This is a good time to go after the brown trout since they are more aggressive at this time of the year.
      Then if you are adventurous and want to brave the colder weather from November to March, you might try your hand at catching a Walleye. You should know the specific techniques for locating the schooled Walleye. Then it will take your concentration to land the fish. The rule of catching the Walleye is catch and release. This is what is done unless other the area has other arrangements.
      Many places on the Delaware River are very shallow which will require that you not use a boat with a propeller motor. Other than the above mentioned fish, this river is also good fishing for crappie, pike, muscles and salmon.
