I have an 8ft, 2pc, K.C. Crocker 5 wt, that I love to use on the main stem. Strong and powerful enough to punch through that wind most of the time. Just got a
209E I want to try up there that I believe will also do the job. On the W. Branch I enjoy my David Van Burgel 101 a lot. Don't get up there much since I
cut everyone loose.

PHY Para 15 clone is my go-to for upper East Branch and West Branch. Powerful and versatile.

My Heddon 8'6" Model 20 2f with a Wulff triangle taper line in a 6 wt. format has served me well making those long casts with fine leaders on those
finicky , but big and beautiful wild Delaware trout.
