Fishing near Wilmington, DE

Set in New Castle County where the Christina River meets the Delaware River, Wilmington sits at the hub of a tidal-and-trout fishery few small cities can match. Brandywine Creek runs through the city center, with shallow rapids at the North Market Street Bridge regarded as Delaware's best fly water, while the 38-mile Philadelphia–Wilmington river corridor draws striped bass, shad, and sturgeon. Lums Pond and stocked trout streams like White Clay Creek round out the scene.
