Tara Jennings5/5Best day on the river ever

Paddling and fishing the Upper Delaware was the most fun I've had outdoors. Alexis had us rigged and paddling by 8am. Caught smallmouth from the kayak all day. Unique experience.

Ian Gallagher4/5Unique way to fish the Delaware

Never fished from a kayak before. Alexis set me up, taught me the basics, and we covered miles of water. The access you get from a kayak is incredible. Caught a mix of bass and trout.
