Delaware River Report / Conditions April 22, 2014

Yesterday was tough compared to Sunday.  Fewer bugs on the water, including stoneflies.  Streamers produced some activity but the bright sun didn’t help. Todasy looks better for streamers with cloud cover this morning wit a little rain moving in this afternoon.  Hopefully the change in weather  kick starts the bugs!  I’ll take the high air temps in the low 60’s anytime!  Cannonsville is at 101.4% and the rivers are dropping.  A lot depends on how the storm tracks and how much rain we receive.

 

Still waiting to see these in large numbers.  It can't be long!
