| We arrived at the club mid evening, 21 foot Lund in tow, hungry and tired from our drive. We found the key, secured our gear, and crossed back into Hancock NY for a gourmet meal at Mc Donalds before return- ing to the club to retire for the night. The morning brought cool and misty conditions on the river. It was back across the River to Hancock for break- fast and to purchase a NY license just in case it was needed. "We found a small diner and had a great breakfast and a then a nice little drive around the area before returning to the club and our day of fishing. |
| We met our Guide "Buzzy" at the fly shop Just before noon. We fol- lowed him upstream to his area to launch and our adventure began. The cold foggy mist was thick and visibility on the water was at a min- imun, but as soon as we were drift- ing we could hear gentle as well as splashy slurps of trout taking flies from the surface. "Match the Hatch" and we would be in buisness. It was the large Slate Drake in all it's glory and we had purchased plenty of comparaduns from the fly shop before setting out. This fly pattern would be the choice for the day. The hatch seemed to be off and on the rest of afternoon into the evening. |
| We broke for lunch around three 'o clock and had a couple of delicious sandwiches then it was back on the river and more fishing till the light of day dissapeared and we reached the club campground where our guide resides. There we were treated to a hot cup of coffee and a few more wonderful stories to complete our day. We both left with a kind of satisfaction that is hard to describe as well as some of the finest fly fishing memories one could cherish..... Our hats are off to the Delaware River Club and our guide Buzzy for making this adventure so fantastic. |
