TESTIMONIALS Here are a few things clients and colleagues are saying about their outdoor experiences with The Backwoods Angler: "Last May, you took me and my two children out on the Delaware. The fact that we caught many smallies, and some quality fish, isn't what impressed me that day. The patience you showed to my kids was very impressive. The confidence you instilled in my son and daughter was priceless. My children ( 9 and 12 years old) are decent anglers. However when one of them had any kind of trouble, the care and gentleness you exhibited was awesome. In fact, the only time you showed any kind of negative reaction was when I had a nice 4 pounder come unbuttoned at the boat. It really impressed me that you blamed yourself, and were genuinely upset that I lost this trophy. Thank you for giving my children a memory they will cherish forever." Jerry, Brian and Bridget Frasca, Jenkintown, Pa. (6-04)
"Thanks for a great day...The Delaware is a thing of beauty...You are truly "the man" on the Big D!"
Mike Novis, Belvidere, NJ (8-06)
"...Blaine is a terrific guide and knows the (Delaware) river and cold water fishing better than anyone." Michael Haney--Exec. Producer Delaware Valley Outdoors (12-05)
Thanks for a swell trip ...I always appreciate all your hard work. I'm pumped for our next trip.
Mike Arnas, Cherry Hill, NJ (6-06)
"Just wanted to thank you again. You were under the weather and managed to put us on fish, 42 of them, including a nice 20-inch smallie...Thanks for a great time and a lasting memory." John-Paul Volinsky, NE PA (9-05)
"...My dad and I met up with Blaine this past Friday in Easton to tackle the Delaware. From the moment he arrived, Blaine was professional and courteous. By the time we made it back at the launch, we had boated 37 fish. Although the active catch was most certainly appreciated, I found Blaine's continuous guidance and instruction even more satisfying. He not only offered advice, but he also explained the reasoning behind his suggestions. I can truly say that I walked away from the experience a better angler . If you're considering a trip to any local rivers, do yourself a favor and book the outing with Blaine. You will not regret your decision! Anthony Elias, SE PA (6-07)
"I was elated to even be on the water, let alone managing a few bites...This trip was most enjoyable primarily because of Blaine and his expertise and knowledge of the Delaware."
Joe Morganto, Southeastern, PA (12-05)
"Thank you again for the fabulous trip on November 6. It will be a day always to remember. Hauling in an almost 4 lb. smallie was one of the best experiences I’ve had fishing."
Eric Goodricke, Alpha, NJ (11-05)
"Blaine is one of the nicest Christian men you will ever meet...One of the nations best river smallmouth fishermen...as professional an outfitter as you will ever meet!"

"...a 20 degree drop in air temperature, stained to muddy water and a strong north wind. Needless to say, this is a tough situation for any guide and fisherman to be put into. 8 hours and 30 SM later, including a 4.9 lb bruiser (my biggest to date on the Big D !) my friend Bill Lin and I couldn't help but be impressed by our guide and friend Blaine Mengel...a true passion for the outdoors, conservation and the Smallmouth Bass! I highly recommend Blaine and The Backwoods Angler Guide Service to fishermen of all skill levels. You will have the time of your life!!"
"Axeman" Dan Kilinski - NJ Bass Anglers and SM Nation Inc Member (10-06)
"We truly appreciated your wonderful information and education on smallmouth fishing on the Delaware...You are a true professional and a pleasure to be with. We plan to use your techniques..."
Alan Glickman, SE PA (6-05)
"Thanks for the awesome fishing trip Friday. It was great to be out on the water with you because you know the river so well and were able to target locations where we could catch lots of Smallies. I was impressed with your ability to maneuver in the river so well keeping us where we needed to be. I also appreciate you sticking it out through the heavy rain! I'll definitely have to book another trip!"
Christopher Smith, Reading, PA (6-06)
"Just wanted to thank you for an enjoyable trip. One of the nice things that happened to me this year has been developing a fishin' buddy relationship with you...Looking forward to going again."
Al Paul, Allentown, PA (9-05)
"Blaine, fishing with you is now a favorite activity for me and my sons. You're a great guide and fisherman, who knows Delaware River Smallies like the back of your hand. While my sons are older teenagers, I imagine you're great with all kids and fishermen of all skill levels, novice to expert. Our fish count has ranged from 25 to 68, and many experienced fisherman I've shown our photos to friends who are amazed that such a great smallmouth fishery (and guide) are so close at hand in the New York-Philadelphia corridor."
Glenn and Michael Melrose, NJ (5-06)
"Blaine is the most down to earth guide I have ever used, not cocky, willing to teach you new techniques...And he will not give up if the bite gets tough...Its nice to be able to be with a guide like I have known him my whole life, its more like fishing with a friend. You can tell this guy does what he loves and happens to make a living at it."
Vince Keiper, NE PA (11-06)
