We had a couple of brief rainstorms yesterday that brought out some olives. The fish were happy during the rain and people landed some fish on dries. The sun popped out in the afternoon and nymphing / wets were the better bet. Fish were eating on top again towards dark with a mix of olives and few caddis. Today is a whole new ballgame with the air temp only reaching 73 degrees. Wind will be 10 – 25 mph from the North as this front pushes through. We shouldn’t see any rain until tonight. We warm up again tomorrow tomorrow to the low 80’s but we should see a bit over 1/4″ of rain. That should be good for the fishing.
Chris Calabrese took a few days off from the Delaware and it payed off
