Hi Jon! Great stuff! Nice hookups on film with a few chunkers. I stayed a little lower down on the WB, especially with nymphing, the green slime up in Deposit is too much while nymphing, dry fly fishing is no problem up there. Caddis and Hendricksons were on pretty heavy, spinner fall at dusk was incredible. My video will be out towards the end of the week. Also did a little bit on the East Branch. Great camera work as always. Hope to get together with you this year sometime. Take care. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Scott! Yeah the slime was a little annoying nymping. I was kinda biding time till the bugs started hatching! I gotta get over to the EB sometime. Im sure you caught 3X more than me haha but I was happy to have some action! Yeah Im sure well run into eachother again at some point!
I just started fly fishing and I’m learning a lot from your videos. Can’t wait to get back into the river. You’re a fission in the same spot where I was fishing last year. Hopefully this year I’ll have better luck.
Yeah if you hit it right when there is a good hatch there are soo many fish its incredible. SOmetimes they can be soo finicky but this day they weren't too bad although I had to do a little switching. There were a couple big fish I wasn't able to entice though! You should def come back for another round! Thanks for wathcing and commenting!!
I'm surprised you got away with only a 10' 5x leader, nice job! I rarely fish smaller than a 14' foot and often go 16' down to 6x to minimize drag. The fish there are so damn picky. But then again, late May really is prime time there. Nice video!
Yeah they don't stock the WB but they stock Oquaga creek which I was just below and the stockies go out into the big river around the treatment plant. I think like 3-4 were little stockies but the rest were wild! Thanks for watching and commenting!
great stuff. That small creek above has smallies and big fall fish in there. My son caught a 19" fall fish last year. And I hooked into a nice carp right where you were catching the fish on dries at the end that i broke me off after a long fight. And apparently guys catch stripers there too. That is a neat multispiecies section of the river.
Awesome video even with low batteries nice phone shot bro, keep going down RT 97 in Hancock along the Delaware (long eddy) home town hidden jems along the river,🎣
They stock Oquaga Creek heavily and it warms substantially, many of these stocked fish go into the WB near deposit, very common to catch them by the sewage treatment plant. I am aware the state does not stock the Delaware :)
The Del is about 2.5 hours from my location, and is my goal to fish it, by fall. With these gas prices...ugh. I'll have to wait. I've been fly fishing for 25 years, been in NY for 13, and never knew about the Neversink, Deleware, or how to get to the Ausable or Battenkill.
Jon, Question as to what kind of attachment you have for your go pro on your wader suspender. Been using the hat mount but don't really like it. BTW probably see you some time up there since we fish the same waters. Greg
I am going to have to figure out how to get down to that spot in Deposit you were fishing downstream from the RR bridge. I was fishing the east branch out of my back yard on the same day and hooked a real nice fish but lost it.
Its easy. There is an angler parking lot right across the river from where I was getting em on dries and you can also park at the wastewater plant. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What a productive day!
Whether it’s spin fishing, or fly, it’s hard to beat top water.
Great job as always
Thanks man! Yeah its great when they are up on the surface eating for sure! It was also nice to be able to backcast haha!
John, we should hook up and go after BIG West Branch Trout! Thanks for keeping us all entertained especially during the winter!
Thanks man! I appreciate the comments!
Epic for sure! Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Another nice little video. Thanks again for these fly fishing trips you show us. bless.
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed!

The Deleware can be fickle but when its on its ON!!
You knocked it out of the park. One day down the road I must go back for redemption! Excellent video as always and thanks for sharing!

Yeah early season you can get away with a shorter leader/heavier tippet for sure, thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed!
Another great video! Some beautiful browns on the dry!
Thanks man, yeah it was a fun day!
Awesome, nothing but wild trout! Didn’t know they stocked that creek. WB Delaware trout are gorgeous.
Yeah they don't stock the WB but they stock Oquaga creek which I was just below and the stockies go out into the big river around the treatment plant. I think like 3-4 were little stockies but the rest were wild! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@deaddriftoutdoors2940 the water was perfect 2 weeks ago! That creek produces so much muddy opaque water when it rains.
Good Brownie after the switch! Great fishing. Nice catches. Cheers from Australia.
Thanks man! Yeah it was a nice afternoon for sure!
Looks like you made the right move going heavy, good stuff!
Yeah I tend to put on a lot of splitshot if I need to!
I was there a few weeks ago and the water was too cold! No fish! Lucky you! Thanks for the video! :-)
Yeah it runs super cold the whole summer. Nice when it gets really hot. Glad you enjoyed the vid and tks for commenting!!

Yeah I was watching a bunch of big suckers/fallfish just above the confluence. Maybe I'll have to explore it more in the future. Thanks for comments!
Great video I was up there this past weekend and did good on the caddie hatch
Awesome. Yeah they were definitely on the caddis for awhile! Glad you had a good trip! Thanks for commenting!
Epic day for sure, well done. Truth be told most days are not this good if by chance you called in sick and have the GPS set for Deposit.
I agree this was above average for me!
Awesome video even with low batteries nice phone shot bro, keep going down RT 97 in Hancock along the Delaware (long eddy) home town hidden jems along the river,🎣
Yeah I need to explore more for sure!
There are no stocked fish in the west branch. Those trout are all wild.
They stock Oquaga Creek heavily and it warms substantially, many of these stocked fish go into the WB near deposit, very common to catch them by the sewage treatment plant. I am aware the state does not stock the Delaware :)

Yes its an impressive fishery you should experience!
i'll be there July 12 great place to fish
Good Luck!
Looks as though you use barbless hooks. correct?
Somtimes but not always
Jon,
Question as to what kind of attachment you have for your go pro on your wader suspender. Been using the hat mount but don't really like it.
BTW probably see you some time up there since we fish the same waters.
Greg
just saw your reference to what it is. Thanks for sharing
HI 1st timer on your site loved it on the west branch ate Hale Eddy - What reel are you using?? looks like an ORVIS ??
Its an orvis Hydros I think, haha I'm awful with gear names/models. I'd have to look to be sure
I am going to have to figure out how to get down to that spot in Deposit you were fishing downstream from the RR bridge. I was fishing the east branch out of my back yard on the same day and hooked a real nice fish but lost it.

What was the CFS flow on this particular day? Water is moving quite a bit!
I actually don't recall as this was in the spring, maybe 500-650 CFS?
Why do you not get more line off the water when fighting you fish. Asking for trouble.
I seem to manage OK, lol
what flow do you like there? thanks
I like when it is clear and not full of algae, 400CFS sounds right to me
@@deaddriftoutdoors2940 which gauge do you prefer to go by?
Reel in your line.
lol I'll work on it
