I spoke with this lodge last year at the Somerset show. Didn't have the means last Spring, but this Spring its on. Believe I'll speak with them at the show and try to book something with John Miller in the boat.

I am going to recommend you stay at the Capra Hotel (cheap and clean) then go out with one of the guys from Borderwater Outfitters. Really, you can not go wrong with Coz, Joe Demeraldis (Orvis Guide of the year) or Brandon Alexander. There is a reason a bunch of us on here frequent and spend our money at Borderwaters. They will be at Somerset as well. A film that features them and the Delaware is being shown at FFT.

Was on a trip with Joe Demalderis from Border Water Outfitters last year and he was superb. Also highly recommend Stefan Spoerri.
Have fun, it's a magical place. My favorite float in the East.

I've looked out at the parking lot from a nice clean room at Capra and out at the nice green lawn from a nice clean room at the DRC and I'll take the DRC. Very accommodating young guys in the shop and flies that are actually on the water. Good burgers at the new hotel in town and at Lydia's and good dinner at the Bluestone.

Yea, if money is not an option, then the DRC or WBA are awesome places to stay. However, if you are going there to fish and just want a clean place to stay with friendly owners, follow my advice.
