One Bug

Each year, Friends of the Upper Delaware River (FUDR) hosts our weekend-long “One Bug” fly fishing event, which also kicks off the spring season on the Upper Delaware.

Fishing is Friday April 24th and Saturday April 25th, followed by our awards banquet that evening.

Some changes for 2026:

  • We will be selecting the available fishing beats on the morning of each day of the event based on river conditions, gage levels, and angler safety.

  • Once the beats are chosen, guides, with their contestants, will have some flexibility to choose their beat each day.
    All other existing rules will remain in place.

    Included in the fishing registration fee:

  • Thursday night dinner with all One Bug anglers and guides

  • Two days of drift boat fishing with a licensed Upper Delaware River guide

  • Back by popular demand, fish in the same boat with your partner!

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided on Friday and Saturday

  • One Bug Merchandise

  • Awards banquet on Saturday evening

  • Partial tax-deductible donation

  • Lots of fun hanging out in the best place on earth!
