Welcome to Filingo Fly Fishing
FilingoFlyFishing is far from your average guide service. I built this company from the ground up to be unique and stand apart from the rest. How do I do that you ask..? It's simple - by giving you a fresh and beautiful experience on the water. I wouldn't dare tell you that on my trips your guaranteed to catch "The Largest Fish" you've ever seen. Nope.. I can promise that I will provide you with opportunities to catch fish, however; but I can't hold the rod for you. More importantly, I will make sure we have the time of our lives while on a guided tour together, or when taking a casting or tying lessons. Not only am I a guide, but also a teacher of the art form and rivers. This means that I'll be filling you with knowledge on bugs as we lift rocks together, fish as we see them behave, and every other aspect of the river's lively veins. As our day comes to an end, you'll leave our experience with full confidence that you can catch fish wherever you may be, alone or in company. You'll now have the knowledge and skill sets to feel much more comfortable on the water.
Fishing Conditions: February 5, 2024
Pocono Mountain Pennsylvania Streams: The rivers and streams of the Pocono Mountain region in Pennsylvania are mostly running a little low right now. It's been so cold throughout the month of January they haven't quite recovered from last years drought. There's also a lot of ice in most of our rivers throughout the Pocono Mountain region. However, with the slightly warmer days we've had lately, some of the smaller streams are opening up a bit. Still, a lot of streams throughout the Pocono Mountain region have ice on them - be careful. With ice, and low, clear flows, smaller flies and tippets will do the trick if the trout are going to bite. Be very careful wading this time of year!
Upper Delaware River: The West Branch of the Delaware River is flowing roughly ICE cfs and 33-34 degrees at Hale Eddy. The East Branch of the Delaware River is flowing roughly ICE cfs and 34-35 degrees at Fish Eddy. The Main Stem of the Delaware River is flowing roughly ICE cfs and 32-33 degrees at Lordville.
The Upper Delaware River in New York and along the Pennsylvania border is pushing water and ice down the system right now with below average flows. Most of the lower West Branch Delaware River and East Branch Delaware River are too frozen over to fish in the slower sections. There is some fishable water closwer to the dams, but please fish with caution because water is cold and elements tough. Right now is not the best time to attempt fishing the Upper Delaware River system if you can avoid it. However, there is some accessible riffles and runs you can currently fish. I would say using smaller flies and lighter tippet on the Upper Delaware River is the way to go this time of year during these icy, cold conditions.
