Guided Fly Fishing Adventures in Northeastern Pennsylvania

About

Ben and me have been guiding and teaching clients for over fifteen years. Whether you are a beginner, seasoned expert, or somewhere in between, we look forward to showing you some of the great fly fishing opportunities in our region. We offer half and full day guided trips for trout and Smallmouth bass. Our trout trips are walk and wade and we fish a number of different streams in the Pocono mountains based on weather and water flow conditions. Our Smallmouth bass trips are walk and wade and float on the North Branch of the Susquehanna River. - Tight Lines Paul Lumia

New To Fly Fishing… No Problem

If you are new to fly fishing let us know. We look forward to showing you the basics and getting you hooked on the sport. We can usually set you up with all the gear you need for your guided trip on the water. If you just want a lesson on dry land we can do that too. We can go over types of equipment needed, knot tying, flies, casting and more.

We try not to wade too deep especially if you are not confident wading. It takes practice. There are many spots we fish that do not require wading too deep.
All our trips are catch and release which means we make sure the fish is handled gently and released back into the water in a timely manner. We can take pictures of our catch.
Prior to the trip we will discuss your experiences with fly fishing and any issues you may have regarding physical outdoor activities. We want you to have the best experience possible.
