Team

Irwin Mallory

Being a third generation Catskill fly fisherman Irwin has over forty years of experience in these famed waters. His trout stalking days began on the Batavia Kill and the Scoharie Creek in the Northern Catskills. The Exopus, Beaverkill, and Willowemoc are also an intricate part of this fishing resume. Sharing this knowledge with beginner and experts alike is a focused passion. He has run a marathon on all seven continents with his fly rod in tow.

Irwin focuses on guided wade trips on the Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Esopus, and Scoharie.

Landon Brasseur

Whether wading through the small creeks, floating the Delaware or sitting behind the vice, Landon always has fishing on the brain. There aren’t many days he isn’t on the water guiding or chasing trout, bass, carp or just about anything else you can throw a fly at. Landon has a background in graphic arts and photography so it’s not unusual to get some great photos.

Landon floats and wades all of our rivers in the region.

Dennis Cluck

Dennis has been fishing the Catskills for over twenty years. Whether you want to fish the Beaverkill, Willowemoc, West Branch of the Delaware, or explore some of the smaller tributaries for native brook trout, Dennis' high school teaching and coaching background makes him an excellent guide for both experienced and beginning anglers. He is also qualified to teach Tenkara.

Stefan Spoerri

Stefan's earliest memories are of fish and the waters they call home, this fascination eventually led him to fly fishing, once he started he has never looked back. Stefan has been guiding and running a drift boat on the Upper Delaware system for over twenty-five years.

Stefan floats the East, West & Mainstem of the Delaware for both trout and bass.

Bill Foote

Bill, an New York native, is without question an accomplished outdoorsmen. He is someone you would want by your side if you got stuck in the wilderness. This complements a life time of fishing experience that enables him to wade or float our local rivers. Bill’s confidence gives him a steady calm demeanor that our clients find enjoyable and interesting. A wade or float trip with Bill will be a great experience.

Affiliated Guides

We are also affiliated with numerous other individuals that guide our fishery.

We have been booking them for trips, in some cases, for over a decade.

The scope of our guided fishing trips covers a lot of ground. On our closest waters, the Beaverkill and Willowemoc Rivers we offer half and full day guided wade fishing, we don't float those rivers. Close by is the East, West & Mainstem of the Delaware River and on those rivers we have the capability to offer a half or full day wade trip and half or full day float trips, water permitting, (half days float trips mainly offered off peak season).

Smallmouth bass trips from a drift boat is a fantastic experience if your here in July and August. We offer that opportunity as a number of our guides love the chance to chase different species. They are mainly done on the Mainstem of the Delaware River. We also wade trips for bass on the Esopus and Scoharie.

Carp trips are a great way to get into sight fishing close to home, in the summer large carp come into the shallows to feed and are one of the most challenging freshwater fish to catch on the fly. When the guides have free time from guiding trout, carp is the fish they pursue.

We also offer half and full day wade trips on the Esopus Creek which is North of Roscoe. It is a smaller river that is part freestone and part tailwater. It has a very good fish per mile ratio. Its a fantastic wading river where we have a high success rate. We have regularly guided this river for years even though some consider it outside of our traditional fishery.
