FLYFISHING

A hidden gem in the Pocono Mountains, “The Stretch” is a place of pristine beauty with superior fishing access enjoyed by fly fishermen of all ages and abilities. The Stretch Fishing Club is owned and operated by Blue Ridge Real Estate Company and has been in operation since 1965. Currently, membership to the Stretch is full. We have an approximate 5 year waiting list.   Recommendation by a current member is required to be added to The Stretch waiting list.

The creek is stocked during the regular season with Brook, Brown, Rainbow and Tiger Trout. The average size is 13 to 15”. You will also find Native Brook and Brown Trout in the creek.

Hunting on The Stretch premises is permitted, however, the hunting and killing of antlerless deer at any time is prohibited.

Guests are welcomed at “The Stretch” for a minimal fee provided they are accompanied by a current member.
