He set up the trip and it was one of the best I've had anywhere. We caught a few on streamers and one on a nymph, but most of the fish were on dries, and most were 18 inches and up. I'll post up a few more photos when they arrive. I pulled this first one from their blog at http://thedelawareriverclub.com/blog/

My guide Bruce Miller took great pains to avoid going in front of any wade fishermen, and we simply didn't fish anywhere near where guys were wading. It's too bad everyone who owns a boat isn't as considerate. Now that the water is coming down wading should come into its own, and there will be many fewer boats up at Stilesville. Good luck and tight lines.

	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
