Thames Valley March Chapter Meeting

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 guide, author and long time Delaware River fisherman/freak 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. Prime opportunities are discussed for fishing streamers for both trout and warmwater species. 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.
