Delaware River Update / Report 5/18/2011

We still have Hendricksons on the West Branch- lots of fish rising yesterday afternoon.  So far most of the predicted rain has missed us leaving the rivers in great shape.  There are a few March Browns coming off, with some fish eating them once in a while.  Caddis have been great in the morning.
