Delaware river--Deposit, NY

[hillbillyhunter1]

I am going fly fishing up there in the middle of May. I know it's a great river (although sometimes crowded) and have been there before but its been a whileand I esepcially like the west branch. My question is.............Up there is there anyone who offers reasonable cabin/house type accomodations at a reasonable price? We're staying at the West Branch Angler but their prices seemed very steep to me. No wonder I guess--they're an Orvis store. I just find that paying $250-$300 a night for a cabin (nicely appointed but who cares)for 3 people (prices increase substantially PER PERSON--sucks)is a little absurd and would much prefer something functional yet economical for serious fishermen.

I'll check it out myself for future trips when I get there but was wondering if someone could give me a push in an alternate direction--even a little rinky-dink motel along the frontage road or something. We use canoes up there mostly,

Thanks for your help if possible

ya that does seem a little steep, when I go out pheasant hunting to south daktota its $300 a day per hunter and that includes hunting two meals and lodging so I think you are getting ripped off
