Delaware River Report / Conditions April 2, 2020

Right now we are taking the advice of both NYS and PA and suggesting everyone stay close to home and fish local.

Yesterday was a bit windy in the afternoon with a mix of sun and clouds.  The rivers are starting off a couple of degrees cooler this morning.  We should see 50 degrees with wind 15 mph from the North.  Gust may be higher.  We’re still seeing stoneflies, a few olives, and some midges.

We are following the State’s order and are closed right now.  We are still fulfilling mail orders in the online store:  https://drc-fly-shop.myshopify.com/  Our flies are stocked and we will be adding new products over the next few weeks.  Hopefully this all passes soon.
