We flyfishers in the course of our time on the stream come accross many bridges. I for one have seen my share but when I come to one I'll investigate it. Usually there is a nice pool or run under the bridge that holds fish. Also in our travels to and from fishing destinations we cross some bridges.

So if you have a photo or two or three of a bridge of favor please post it and maybe a little story along with it.



This is a rustic bridge in the Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania. Under it flows a no name wild trout stream thats a favorite of mine.

Photos of bridges over our favourite stream, creeks, and rivers is something we all have.

I kinda get the feeling fly fishermen may have been trolls in their previous lives for
we can never pass over a bridge without looking down or under them.

I too also enjoy fishing this area the most in KLG.

This is also the location where I came up with the Terry Cripple fly pattern.

I grew up in Annandale, as a kid the KLG was just a bike ride away! My folks still live down there in Pittstown so I still get a few days a year fishing the gorge with old friends- one of the prettiest stretches or river I've ever fished!

I saw the T.Cripple post the other night- great looking fly, well done!
