I am not really sure if this exists in Pennsylvania but I am looking to find a first class lodge and guide service in Pennsylvania to take a few clients out. It doesn't necessarily have to be flyfishing for trout. It does not have to be a one stop shop either. Maybe you know of a great lodge with cooks and what not and guide in the same area. Like I said I am not sure this exists to the extent I am thinking of in PA as I did not find anything through Google, but I thought I would ask all of you since there is a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience on this board.

Skytop lodge

Delaware River Club ?

Orvis lodges in PA:

As mentioned above, Skytop. Havn't been there since '05(?) but it has an Orvis shop, guides and a pretty, METICULOUSLY maintained, heavily stocked trout stream (very headwaters of the Brodhead) with numerous man-made enhancements/improvements. One guide used to wait behind if I wanted to fish alone above the big falls for wild trout. Of course this entailed a larger tip. Downside is, the place is expensive and if I had not been there on business, I would not have gone. If I recall correctly a single room for one night was around $600.

He asked for first class lol

spring ridge club

Pretty sure you actually have to become a member for Spring Ridge. I think the OP is looking for one off resorts that you can book just for a night or two, not someplace to open a permanent membership.

As this thread shows, these places DO exist in PA. However, based on the one's I've seen, I'd personally look into separating them. Pick an area of the state you wish to fish, pick a suitable lodge, and then look for a guide. Both lodges and guides are common all over the state. And by separating them, you'll have far more choices on both.

Especially if you're clients are serious fishermen. Most of these are private, heavily stocked waters that frankly, don't excite me very much in a state loaded with very good wild trout opportunities.

But if you think they're the type that would rather step in the water and whip out a bunch of stockers, well, then have at it.

Never been here, but know a few who have opted for the day pass.

Many people don't like these types of establishments because the owners are taking "public waterways" and privitising them. There's many more issues too for many of these places like stocking massive trout over wild fish too. Look into where ever you go first before taking clients. It may look like fun, but a bit of research may find that you may not agree with the ethics they're promoting.
