Deposit,
NY has been a special place for my wife Laurie and I, having met and
grown up here years ago we are well accustomed to the area and it is
where we make our home. In my youth I was enamored with the great
outdoors and during my waking hours I could either be found out on the
stream fishing or in the woods with a gun in hand. To this day I am
still awestruck by God's great creation and can be found taking
advantage of it, whether guiding clients on the Upper Delaware river
fishing for wild trout and smallmouth, Steelhead on the Great Lakes
trib's or just enjoying them all with some friends on my time off. I also still enjoy my time out in the woods - bow or gun in hand in search of some good table fare.
After
retiring from law enforcement we settled back into the Deposit, NY area
with our children and promptly made our home on the West Branch of the
Upper Delaware. Needless to say, the river was calling me and shortly
afterward I developed a strong desire to guide people and share this
magnificent tail water that produces excellent bug hatches and World
Class Wild Trout.
Our business provides an Upper Delaware river guide service on the East branch, West Branch and Main stem as well as lodging accommodations on the West Branch near Deposit, NY.
In addition to the Upper Delaware river, we also provide walk/wade
guide trips on the Catskill rivers; Beaverkill, Willowemoc and Neversink
river. We provide a very professional and friendly service as attested to by our largely repeat guests/clients.
As
a long time fly fishing guide my desire is to share my knowledge
of this great fishery using traditional fly fishing methods as well as
spey casting with both single handed rods and the newly popular switch & spey
rods.
We feel that we are blessed to be part of such a dynamic and intricate
fishery
that produces excellent bug hatches and great fish and wish to share
the experience with you whether you are experienced or a novice in need
of basic instruction.
Wayne and Laurie Aldridge
