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:
Mike with a nice brown near his home in Denver
Jeremy with a weird looking NC stockie
Jim with a really good local NEPA fish!
Today is going going to be an interesting weather mix. We may see some snow showers this morning giving way to rain mixed with wet snow this afternoon. The air temp will hit 47 degrees so not too bad overall. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South. Yesterday was cool and windy with very light snow flakes most of the day. The water temps are cool this morning and will take a bit to warm up. We really need some sunshine to see them jump but it is still April.
