Delaware River Report / Conditions July 2, 2011

Bugs! The upper West was covered in them from about 12:00 PM on  yesterday – the fish were a bit harder to find, but definitely not as spooky as they have been lately. Fish were also caught later in the evening on the Main Stem on Steno spinners. With a partly-sunny day today, we expect water temps to remain good throughout the system.
