Guided Fly Fishing

"My fishing and casting improved so much.  Thank you for such a great time on the water."

​

Float & Wade Trips
Catskills & Upper Delaware
Trout

Tight Lines offers guided wade and float trips on the upper Delaware system including the Beaverkill.  The Upper Delaware is arguably one of the finest, if not the finest, wild trout fisheries in the country!  Large browns and hard fighting rainbows will test anglers skills both before and after being hooked.  The challenge of fooling one of these wary trout and then landing them is unforgettable!

Andrew's greatest joy comes from fishing and sharing the experience with the angler through guiding.  Over the past 25 years, he has taught thousands to fly and spey cast with both single and two-handed rods.  His style is to focus on technical skills while simultaneously incorporating his inherent ability to teach.  Not only will the day be fun, but you will come away a better angler.

Lodging and meals at Tight Lines North can be incorporated for a full-service trip.  Andrew Moy, your lead guide, and his wife Nancy will accommodate your schedule and coordinate the needs of your group.

Lead NJ & eastern PA guide Frank Rosata has been fishing NJ and PA regularly since he was a young boy.  Customers note that Frank has an innate way of taking the mystery out of understanding how to fish these waters.  Allow him to teach you and you will likely find success on the end of your line and in the way you approach a fishery at your next opportunity.

Smallmouth Bass
​Upper Delaware

Andrew Moy does float trips on the upper Delaware for smallmouth bass during the warmer months.  Pound for pound they are one of the hardest fighting freshwater fish.  They run, "bull-dog", jump and smash flies with a vengeance!  It's great to watch your white or chartreuse streamer coming through the water and then disappear as it gets engulfed or a popper getting exploded on as a hungry bass attacks! 

The Upper Delaware was placed by Field & Stream Magazine as "One of the Top 5 Smallmouth Bass Rivers in the US".  The upper Delaware's beauty along with it's wildlife and fish makes for a tremendous day on the water.  Frequently, bald eagles, deer, beavers, muskrats and various wildlife can be seen.

These trips are a great way to improve traditional casting, learn or improve spey casting or just come out to have fun!  Smallmouth are usually very eager and catch rates can be high.  This is also a great way to learn about smallmouth habits and have the opportunity to fish both on the surface and underneath with both floating and sinking lines.  There are also other species in the river including big chubs, trout, shad and at times striped bass.
