Seasons on the Delaware, "Everything else is checkers. The Delaware is chess,” said Mike Bachkosy, a Delaware River flyfishing sage. The Delaware River has more secrets hidden in its languid flows than imaginable. Join Bob Lindquist on a tour of the seasons on the Delaware that reveals some of the subtle secrets that the Delaware offers the dedicated flyrodder. We will explore Spring trout and legendary hatches like the Hendricksons, Caddis, Golden Stones and Drakes. Next up is the shift into summer, dominated by sulfurs. Late Summer sees warmwater action explode and then caddis, Isos and olives are the centers of Autumn dry fly attention. Woven throughout the presentation is the history of the system, the character of the river and essential and proven techniques and flies for one of the greatest freshwater fisheries in the lower 48 states.

Bob Lindquist lives in Callicoon, NY.  Before retirement, he waded the waters of Long Island with feathered frauds for over forty years.  His favorite targets were false albacore, striped bass, weakfish and the wild brook trout of a local spring creek, the Carmans River.  Bob has also fished the Catskills, particularly the Delaware River System, since 1983.  His passion for this magnificent river system inspired Bob to build his retirement home on the banks of the Main Stem of the Delaware River.  As a guide, Bob uses the skills learned fishing Delaware River system to explore and catch fish in this magnificent fishery.  In addition, Bob has a blossoming passion for both Atlantic Salmon and Steelhead.  Bob has worked with numerous fly fishing industry companies including Whiting Farms, Solarez, Ahrex and others.
 
Trained in mathematics, physics, philosophy and education, Bob takes an analytic approach to fly fishing.  His work has lead to articles in Fly Tyer, Salt Water Fly Fishing, Fly Fisherman, American Fly Fishing and Japanese Fly Fisherman magazines.  He is a recognized fly tyer who has appeared at many shows including those held in Edison, Lancaster, Marlborough, Virginia, Connecticut and Long Island.  Recently, Bob has added a passion for photography to his fly fishing and tying addictions.  As a retired teacher and coach, Bob uses his public speaking skills to give presentations to clubs throughout the Mid Atlantic and North East regions.
