Based in Milford, PA, right on the Delaware. We guide both the New York and Pennsylvania sides — Upper Delaware, Lackawaxen River, and Brodhead Creek. Fly and spin fishing. One of the few services licensed in both states.

Mark Calloway5/5Best of both states

Hank fished us on the NY side in the morning and the PA side in the afternoon. Different regulations, different flies, same great fishing. Unique cross-border experience.

Kelly O'Sullivan4/5Solid Delaware guide

Hank knows the Upper Delaware well from both banks. Good drift boat, good lunch, steady fishing. Caught 10 browns between us.

Phil Ramirez4/5Great Lackawaxen side trip

Delaware was high so Hank pivoted to the Lackawaxen River on the PA side. Never fished it before — beautiful stream with willing browns. Appreciated the flexibility.
