Delaware River Report / Conditions August 6, 2014

Yesterday showed us more afternoon sulphurs in Deposit, and some evening hatches of cahills and isonychia on the lower West.  We received an afternoon rainstorm that put a sheen of fog on the river and the bugs shut down late in the evening. The water levels did not change, but the fog was appropriate for a quick streamer bite though using black.  Today will be partly cloudy will a chance of an evening thunderstorm.  The West Branch temp at Hancock is still 55 degrees!
