LESSONS & GUIDES >>

Over the last two decades the Baxter House has put together a guide staff that is second to none in the Upper Delaware River System. Our professional guides are exceptional teachers as well as top rate Fly Fishermen. Our guides will listen to what your expectations are and custom plan a trip based on your abilities and desires. This will ensure that your day on the river will be fun, informative and above all safe.
Our Guided Fly Fishing Trips consist of either Walk Wading or Drift Boat fishing throughout the Upper Delaware Region. Our guides have intimate knowledge of the waters of the Beaverkill River, Willowemoc Creek, The East and West Branches of the Delaware and the Main Stem Delaware.

Our saltwater trips are from flats style boats or walk wading the flats. Our saltwater guides all operate top quality skiffs that are equipped with all of the essential equipment to make your day on the water comfortable and safe.
