There are many activities to take part in on the Delaware River. Among these activities is fishing. With the many fish species found, such as carp, smallmouth, trout, and shard, the Delaware River makes for a rich fishing experience.

Fly fishing is just one fishing method that can be used on The Delaware. The difference with fly fishing to other type of fishing, such as bait fishing, is that it places more emphasis on your casting skill with the line rather than the lure. Bait fishing relies more on the weight of the lure to give you the casting distance.
