Fifield Outfitters’ clients, father and son, Al and Al, returned for another float trip. We hit up the Main Stem of the Delaware River on a warm and sunny day. On the fly rods, we managed to hook up four times, but to no avail, as nothing was put in the net. We were able to see two of the four fish that we hooked up to, and they were big browns. When we were loading the boat up, I talked with five other drift boats and they didn’t have any hook ups.These guys enjoy spending family time on the water and are looking at a return trip later in the season for redemption on these big ol’ hook jaws.    #FatherAndSonFlyFishingTrip #MainStemDelawareRiver #FlyFishingGuide

We had the pleasure of  guiding Tom, Martin, and Joe on a two day ice fishing adventure. Day one, we hit up White Lake and the fishing was very slow. With the barometer at 30.10, it was going to be a challenge to get the fish to cooperate. We had flags here and there, but the fish were only grabbing the tails of our bait and then letting go. The shore lunch for this day featured marinated venison steaks and cutlets along with other snacks. Day two, the barometer sank to 29.33, which hopefully would make the fish more active. We set up on Lake Superior and when we began putting the tip-ups in, one immediately went off to which Joe brought up a pickerel through the hard water hole. Martin caught a pickerel as well on a tip-up. Tom got jiggy with it and jigged up a nice pickerel, too! The wildgame shore lunch special of the day was venison and bear bacon cheeseburgers and freshly caught walleye and perch. We had so much in common with these guys, between the jokes and stories, there was no short of laughter. We look forward to our next adventure with them!

Noah and Amber contacted us to take them on their first ever ice fishing adventure to celebrate Amber’s birthday. They hoped to land a northern pike. Despite the harsh weather conditions on Lake Champlain, we were able to make their wish come true!   A monster toothy critter was brought up the hole by the birthday girl! Way to go Amber and Happy Birthday! We look forward to taking this awesome couple on more fishing expeditions!    #HappyBirthdayAmber #NorthernPike #LakeChamplain #CatchPhotoRelease

This is what you call a hard water gold rush! You drill the holes and up comes 8 to 9 pounds of freshwater gold!  We got into a good batch of fish, ranging from walleye, to pickerel, to perch. The bigger fish were caught on tip-ups and we jigged up a bunch of panfish. It was nonstop action, as we were chasing flags all day long. If you want to catch BIG fish, book your next fishing adventure with us! What are you waiting for? #LunkerWalleye #GoldRush #TimeToBookYourTrip #FifieldOutfitters

We had Guy ice fishing with us on Thursday and Joey, Randy, and Jimmy hard water fishing with us on Saturday. It was Guy and Randy’s first time ice fishing and they both caught and released pickerels. Joey and Jimmy both landed these little water wolves too. For Guy’s trip, the weather was 50 degrees with no breeze, which was beautiful for January in the western Catskills. The conditions were vastly different for Jimmy, Randy, and Joey’s adventure. The temperature including windchill was roughly -10 F. The wind blew 30 plus mph all day long and the tip-up holes were freezing up about every 15 minutes. The Clam ice shelter with Mr. Heater kept us warm and out of the wind.

We provide first class service on the ice to all of our clients. For both guided trips, the grill sessions for lunch included some form of venison. Guy had venison bacon cheeseburgers. The other group had venison jalapeno bacon habanero cheeseburgers.   

A great time was had by all and we look forward to getting out on the ice with these anglers again!

Twenty plus mph wind gusts, or even more, with snowdrifts over all of our tip-ups, yet Kevin and I still managed not to get skunked. We stayed warm when we were in the Clam, but not so much when out checking the tip-ups. However, the juicy, flavorful, jalapeno cheddar and bacon venison burgers for lunch added a nice touch and kept us well-fed. #CatchPhotoRelease

We had the pleasure of having newlyweds, Joey and Tiffany, join us this weekend for a Blast & Cast Package that included a two night stay at one of the cottages at the Buck-Horn Lodge. This adventurous couple went on a ½ day drift boat fishing trip in the afternoon on Saturday floating the East Branch of the Delaware River. Despite the terrible weather conditions, the fishing was good. Joey joined Ryan for a fully guided turkey hunt on Saturday and Sunday, but the crazy weather had the turkeys completely shut down. The casting was better than the blasting this time around. Wishing Tiffany and Joey many years of love and happiness! 💒 💐 Thank you for making us a part of your #NewlywedAdventure!
