Delaware River Report / Conditions April 22, 2020

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/

Let’s keep the local pictures going.  Since everyone should be fishing local to their homes send us pictures of your locally caught fish and we’ll put them here on the blog.  Even chubs would be cool.  Email them to flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com

Today’s selection of fish:

Orla couldn’t make it to her local stream so she decided to work on her cast

Clayton hit the river 1 mile from his house and came up with this one

Matt is doing well close to home in Central, NY

We have a light dusting of snow on the ground this morning but that should melt shortly.  We should end up partly cloudy at 42 degrees by late afternoon.  Wind will be 10 – 15 from the North.  They had yesterday’s report nailed pretty well.  We has some scattered rain and wind most of the afternoon and then some really good wind in the evening.  Every once in a while the sun would pop out and it was actually nice out on the water.  Fewer bugs on the water yesterday or maybe we just didn’t see them because they blew away so fast.
