Delaware River Report / Conditions July 12, 2011

Just hit the copy button – we’re looking for an exact repeat of  yesterday, both in conditions and weather – hot and sticky! It makes that 45-degree water up in Deposit seem down right refreshing! We expect the same from the bugs as well – morning caddis and evening dortheas, stenos and isos. The fog has been staying off the lower river, so we’ve been able to fish all the way up until dark!
