Cabela's, the worldwide outfitter, will be hosting their annual
"Captain's Weekend" on Friday, Saturday and Sunday March 8 and 9 2008.

I have been invited to appear along with 20 other captains
from the eastern seaboard.

If you have any questions about our area please feel free to e-mail me.


Listed below are live United States Geological Survey feeds which get updated every hour - and a webcam trained on the Upper Delaware River at Narrowbsurg which is updated every minute. You'll find water temperatures, water levels and CFS flows for most locations along the Upper Delaware River System - the temperatures have been converted from celcius to farhenheit for easier access.

By clicking this you'll find a map of the section of the Upper Delaware River that I guide on - Hancock, New York to Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania - a distance of fifty miles. River miles are printed and icons for boat launches along with hiking trails are outlined.

Save yourself time and money by checking this page before you drive up to wet a line. If you have questions about how to interpret these numbers please feel free to e-mail me or call me at either 845.252.3657[Home/Office] or 845.701.3894 [Cell]. Please do not fish for trout if the water in a given section exceeds 72 degrees which are in red. Thank you.

My first float trip for the 2008 season is April 20th. Throughout the year, I will be compiling a log on-line of each trip that I take complete with photos, flies observed, conditions, etc. Cancellations due to the weather will also be taken into account in the logbook.

Previous trips from 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 can be easily accessed by scrolling down to the drop-down menus and selecting the month you wish.

Kindest regards and tight lines always, Tony Ritter

Sunny to start and then turning overcast with the approching front. Rain is forecast for tomorrow. The water is gin clear and at the best temps this year maxing out in the low 60's. We had wind this afternoon with minimal hatches of March Browns, Grey Fox and a few Caddis. Today's trip featured a mixed bag - brown and rainbow trout, walleye and smallmouth bass.

Leo Rosenberger of Lancaster, PA and Hortonville, NY nailed this chunky 18 inch wild UDR brown trout near The Islands north of Callicoon on today's river float trip.

And - Bill Rosenberger got into the action as well with this feisty 16 inch wild rainbow taken in the fast water near The Chutes south of Kellams Bridge. Congrats Leo and Bill!

A beautiful spring day with light breezes and sunny bluebird skies. The river is dropping, clear and the water temperature is now at the best temps we've had this year for trout, shad and walleye . Today's half day morning trip had the water ranging from 54 to 60 degrees. A few March Browns and plenty of tan 16 caddis about. No trout but seven walleye were caught along with a few smallies.

Double your pleasure...double your FUN!
Andy and Lori Valladares of New York City had a doubleheader with these two river walleye on our half day float out of Long Eddy today!

Here's Andy with a larger walleye that taped out to 20 inches. This was one of seven walleye caught on our half day river float.

One man on board today. The river started rising about three inches from last night's rain and disclored the water when we launched at Long Eddy this morning. 12 hours ago the water had been gin clear with visibility to 12 feet - now the visibilty was 5+ feet or so. The water began to clear the further south we floated. Overcast with no wind to start - perfect conditions - although the water was still cold at 46 degrees. Tan size 16 caddis when the sun poked out along with March Browns and Blue Quills. Very few risers however. Not many Hendrickson - possibly finished for 2008. Mostly walleye caught today with a stray wild brown in the mix.

Veteran Upper Delaware River angler, Jim Merwin, with one nice river walleye caught late this afternoon north of Callicoon. The fish taped out to 24 inches. This was one of three walleye Jim caught on the float from Long Eddy to Callicoon. Nice going Jim!

Overcast and cold out there today - just like yesterday. We had July weather in April and now we're having April weather in May! The water is clear and cold - 44 degrees when we left Long Eddy. That's definately putting a damper on the hatches. Very weak hatches of Blue Quill and a few March Browns after 3:00pm but no risers or targets. Nagging south wind on and off throughout the day. A mixed bag on today's float with browns, walleye and a rainbow.

Westchester County native, Kevin Ennis, nailed this beautiful 20 inch Upper Delaware River walleye on opening day of the walleye season on our float trip today.

And not to be outdone, Kevin's buddy, Richard Quigley, caught a handful of rainbows and browns. Here's Rich with a chunky 14 inch UDR 'bow.

Overcast for all of the day with some south wind in the eddys. A slow day all around. Chances are the cold air temps that we've had at night in the upper 20's has dropped the water temp to 44 degress when we shoved off from Long Eddy this morning. That's a drop of 10 degrees from two days ago and enough to put the feeding off. Very few hatches - with small BWO's and Blue Quill and a handful of March Browns after 3:00pm north of Callicoon. Weak caddis hatch compared to last week when we had heat and sun.

Garden State angler, Rich Toohey, had his hands full with this sleek UDR walleye that taped out at 23 inches on this afternoon's float trip.

The day started off with overcast conditions and by noontime became partly cloudy. Light breeze and the water is gin clear. Levels are about a half foot above normal. Primary hatch is apple caddis and grannom throughout the day when the sun is out. Hendrickson and Blue Quill by mid afternoon. It was a mixed bag on the UDR for today's trip. Trout, walleye, smallmouth - and our first shad of the season caught north of Callicoon. The highpoint was Walt's 18 inch wild Delaware rainbow caught in the Sippin' Hole on a dry with 5x tippet.

It's early but...They're here!
Here's Art Terwilliger with a beautiful roe shad caught north of Callicoon, New York.

Art again...this time with a lanky 21 inch walleye!

Walt Hammill with his first wild rainbow. And what a fish - 18 inches! Walt caught this beautiful fish on a CDC emerger on 5x at the Sippin' Hole yesterday.

Smile for your closeup! In the net... Walt's 18 inch wild UDR 'bow!

It's been sunny and hot for late April in the Catskills for the past two weeks and all the anglers were in shirtsleeves and shorts for today's trip on the West Branch and Main Stem. Finally, NYC released a bit of water out of Cannonsville and the levels were floatable and there was some stain on the WB making the fish less skittish. Hatches were heavy caddis throughout the day and Hendrickson and Blue Quill in the afternoons. We are about three weeks ahead of schedule. Trees and shrubs are green and blossming throughout the valley.

Big smiles for Aldo with a sweet West Branch Delaware brown trout.
