Orvis Endorsed Guided Fly Fishing at West Branch Angler

Our River Guide services are available through the West Branch Angler from April 1 through October 31st of each season. Hunting guides are available according to the New York hunting seasons. The rivers that make up the Upper Delaware River System are challenging and offer excellent fly fishing, but you have to be on top of your game to consistently catch the wild trout that inhabit these major rivers. Whether you've fly fished the Delaware River System before or not, the best way to make the most efficient use of your fly fishing time is with one of our Professional Orvis Endorsed River Guides. They are experienced, knowledgeable fly fishermen who are courteous, and friendly - in other words they are real pros.

We can arrange either wade trips or float trips for 1 or 2 people per guide. If possible, we heartily recommend going out in one of our guides' Mackenzie Drift Boats, since you will be able to cover more water and reach deeper prime fishing spots. The guide's job is to put you on working fish and a drift boat is the most efficient way to get it done. Our primary fishing is for wild Rainbows or wild Brown Trout, but we will gladly get you into Smallmouth Bass or Sea Run Shad during certain times of the year. Make your arrangements early, so we can accommodate the dates you desire.

Satisfied WBA Customers

"Wayne (Aldridge: a Wba Guide) Thanks for sending the photos so soon! Now I know it wasn't just a nice dream after all! Really appreciate your persistence on the water yesterday and had a great time fishing with you. Hope to do it again sometime soon when I'm back in NYC. Please keep me posted on the fishing, etc. Have a great season.

Regards, Robert
PS: Let me know if someone else catches that fish!"



"Dear Joe (Demalderis: a WBA Guide)
I am writing to thank you for an absolutely delightful fly fishing float trip last week on the Delaware River. You taught me more about fishing in one day than I learned in a lifetime of fishing on my own. I'll be a better all around fisherman thanks to what I learned from you. I've been on other guided hunting and fishing trips in the past. But I can say unequivocally that I've never had a guide that worked as hard as you to satisfy the customer. I've already told my wife that I plan to do it again next year and I'll be requesting you as my guide."

Robert S. New York



R. Warner with a some very kind words about his guide in 2003:
" This is my second visit to West Branch and my guest from England who was a novice fly fisherman was thrilled we had as our guide John Dembeck. He is not only an exceptional guide but also an outstanding teacher. We both learned so much from him in one day it was incredible. While the weather was not all in our favor he successfully found rises and we caught a few. John's sense of humor and is extraordinary passion for the sport made our day so memorable. I intend to return many times in future and will surely request John. He is an essential asset to the West Branch."


Here is what Steve B. had to say about his WBA guided fishing trip this past 2003 season in an email to us:
" I have only been fly fishing part time for about three years now and had never been on a guided fly trip. I was not disappointed at all. Gary (Henderson : a WBA guide) was understanding and patient as I practiced what HE preached. He was a terrific guide who I would recommend to all my pals. We caught some nice fish and I was able to understand the drift he was looking for. Now I need to practice, practice, practice. We experienced an unbelievable coffin fly/green drake hatch that was VERY exciting. This is my second journey to the West Branch Angler, and I look forward to future trips. Please thank Gary for me for a terrific day of fishing."
