Event Description: This event is a favorite as we float and fish for 6 miles riding through some class 1 rapids and riffles down the beautiful Delaware river casting away for fresh water species like small mouth bass and cat fish, from our put in site Dingmans Ferry to our take out site Eshback . A true shore lunch will take place mid-way, on an Island in the middle of the river.

Special Information: This event leaves at 9am sharp, we leave as a goup from one location and take out 6+ hours down river so unlike other events we can not wait and send people out as they come. This is also not an event where you are able to leave early.


We will have contactless registration, please fill out the waivers online before coming to the event. Links are below and on order form.
