Delaware River Report / Conditions August 21,2011

The river has continued to drop and is back to normal. The forecast today is predicting more thunderstorms, beginning around 1P.M. which should pass through relatively quickly. We are continuing to see more and more flying ants on the Main Stem, and the fish are starting to key in on them. With the heavy cloud cover today, be sure to have your Olive’s, Iso’s, and Black Flying Ants in your box!
