Quiet mornings start with light coming off the river and the thud of boots on old wood floors. The shop stays ready before first light, and in the evenings, anglers drift in swapping stories after a day on the West Branch.

What to Expect:

    🪰 Full-service fly shop with large local fly selection, brands like Orvis and Simms
    🎣 Steps from prime West Branch trout water and public access points
    🏠 Updated rooms designed with anglers in mind (rod racks, wader hooks)
    🔥 Communal fire pit, picnic tables, and riverside seating for guests
    đź“… Up-to-date hatch reports, advice on flows, and walk-in friendly guidance

Important Information:

    ✔ Walk-in shop, no reservations for retail—but book rooms well ahead in prime spring
    âś” Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking; wide aisles inside shop
    âś” Call for room or guided day availability: (607) 298-2149
    ✔ Small property—best to call for group booking or instructional needs

Haley's Pick 🍽️

You probably know her as @milehighandhungry. Each week, Haley shares the one place she’s obsessed with right now. From hidden gems to hot new openings, if she picks it, it’s worth the hype.

Haley's Review of Riot BBQ
Riot BBQ on South Delaware feels like a backyard cookout run by a Top Chef, because it is. Chef Manny Barella and pitmaster Patrick Klaiber have teamed up to blend Monterrey flavors with Texas-style smoke, and the results are seriously craveable.

The brisket steals the show: tender, deeply smoky, and finished with Barella’s bold spice rub. Get it solo or wrapped in buttery Raquelita tortillas. The pulled pork brings heat with ancho, guajillo, and morita chiles, and the al pastor ribs are sticky, sweet, and slightly charred in all the right ways.

Even the sides are insanely good! Think crunchy pepita-macha slaw and banana pudding served in a jar that tastes just like childhood (but better). Every bite feels intentional.

It’s barbecue with heart, history, and just the right amount of heat. Riot BBQ isn’t just a meal, it’s a moment worth lining up for.

Local Insights

🦟 May-June Hatches: Hendricksons and Sulphurs are thick mid-May to June—CDC emergers and spinners sell out fast.

🌊 Best Flows: West Branch fishes best between 400–700 cfs at Hale Eddy; morning wades safest under 600 cfs.

🎣 Walk-In Wisdom: Arrive as doors open for no-rush advice and first crack at the latest hatch update—afternoons heat up for river traffic.

🪡 Winter Tying: Store hosts informal tying nights in winter (call ahead); off-season hours vary—always check before a cold-weather visit.

What folks are saying

Based on the 50 most recent Google reviews
Reviewers call Troutfitter a clean, well-run base for fishing the Upper Delaware. The fly shop gets high marks for knowledgeable advice, on-point fly selection, and fair tackle pricing. Dave is mentioned in nearly every review for his willingness to answer questions and steer folks to productive water, even with last-minute walk-ins. Lodging is praised for comfort, gear-friendly touches, and easy river access. No complaints about crowding or gear stock—though rooms fill early in prime spring. The atmosphere feels personal and neighborly, with staff that actually fish these waters.
