Delaware River Report / Conditions 5/11/2011

Fishing was great yesterday, with lots of fish on top eating a mix of Hendricksons and Caddis.  Hatches are starting mid day, and streamer fishing has been good in the morning.  The system is dropping back to normal levels, and wading is finally becoming an option in some areas.  Lots of sun today, with a little cloud cover and rain coming in over the weekend.
