“Amazing place to visit and fish! This will be my fourth annual trip to DRC and it seems to get better each year! Jeff is amazing at making sure everything is ready for you when you arrive and has everything you need while you are there. This time he was on a well deserved vacation and everyone was equally as accommodating as he is. Our guide for the past 3 years, John, is awesome! He is always in a great mood, makes the day fun and exciting, knows the river and what rig to use for the occasion, and gets as happy for you, as you are happy with catching the world class trout the Upper Delaware is known for. This trip we were lucky enough to land a beautiful large Rainbow and another massive Brown. Both put on a fight and John's expert positioning of the boat helped to ensure we were able to get them in the net. When not fishing with a guide, wading in the river, with access right across the road is a perfect way to spend the day. Can't wait for next year! May have to make it twice a year and come back in the fall.”
“Our first visit and we will definitely return. Jeff runs a very well organized and focused small team of Delaware River experts. The pre- visit arrangements were easy and straightforward. Our room was ready and checking in was simply picking up an actual key and we were off to the river. The Club has exclusive rights to a fabulous stretch of the West Branch of the Delaware. You can just cross the street, wade in and start fishing - it is that simple. Our drift boat Guide was John, and he was amazing. My husband is an experienced fly fisherman and I am a beginner. John was able to coach both of us with no breaks in service. He switched rods/flys as conditions dictated and never missed a beat. We will schedule our return visit around his availability. This is a plain, well run resort. - no frills, but if you love challenging fly fishing in an easygoing, but professional environment The Delaware River Club is for you. Go - fish - relax - enjoy!”
“We went back this year to the DRC after being away for a few years. We brought out 14 year old grandson. Samantha our guide made the fly lessons so interesting and instructional that my grandson really became interested. We have been back once since then and booked another trip in September The is perfect. The rooms are clean and comfy and the staff well what a great bunch of people If you want to try fly fishing or you are a fly fisherman you need to try this place”
“Excellent and knowledgeable guides. Book ahead is a must, especially in peak season. Great location to start on the river. Guides appropriate for all skill levels. Full service bait shop, overnight rooms, equipment rental. Great starting point for qbeginners and pros alike. Prices are reasonable. Call ahead for availability. Knowledgeable staff make the difference for a successful trip. Busy season is in May. Highly recommended for beginners. The staff know the river like the back of their hand. Good luck catching something without their guidance. Great down to earth vibe. Welcoming to all skill levels. Book a half day or full day guide, room rates are reasonable or stay nearby.”
“The Delaware River Fly Club has a deceiving name. By Club, they mean the coolest and funnest Summer Camp you've ever been to. All are welcome, and once you meet the hosts, you're in thr Club. This place is rustic and picturesque, situated on the beautiful Deleware River. Come to fish, bring the family, enjoy the large grounds, picnic tables, and double room guest cabins. The hosts are wonderful, and friendly. There's a dining room, kitchen, etc. for groups, the rooms are large and accommodate up to 6 per room. You have fans, electric, fridge, coffee. There's a lovely fire pit, beautiful garden, and a covered bridge to boot. You really can't go wrong here. Tell Jeff and his lovely wife Christin hello for me and be sure to come for the BIG RIVER CLEAN UP! Every August, hosted with Pig Farm Ink. A huge community gets together and provides all you need to get on the river and clean up literally tons of trash! So, if you're into fly fishing or if you just want to stay somewhere new and unique where everyone knows about the local ecology and river systems, this is your place. I'm obviously not a fisher person, but I can say with great certainty that I wouldn't be here if this place wasn't world renowned for fishing. So, definitely take advantage of the knowledge these guides have. This place is one of the special ones.”
“My friend and I had the best fishing experience of our lives on the upper Delaware with our guide Sam. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the river and patient when providing coaching and tips to help me cast my flies better. She also had a great sense of humor and was so much fun to spend the day with. We caught countless smallmouth bass as well as a few bonus species. Great sandwiches for lunch too. We will be back next summer! Thank you!”
“My fishing buddy and I spent 3 days & 4 nights at the Delaware River Club in June 2024. What an amazing place this is! We will absolutely be coming back. The place is ideally set up for fisher-people! Our guides (Mike and Chris) were skillful, knowledgeable, professional, and just plain fun to hang out with. We caught trout each day, including some really good ones. We learned new techniques from our guides. The rooms are not fancy, but they are perfectly functional and clean. The manager (Jeff) made the entire reservation and planning process super easy, and he was attentive to our every need while there. Great place for fly fishing!! Don't hesitate to book a trip.”
“Guides were great, provided great sandwiches and snacks. We had very challenging fishing conditions(low water flow, late in season) but the guides worked really hard to get us into some fish. Looking forward to going again.”
