Delaware River Report / Conditions July 13, 2012

Happy Friday the 13th! Let’s hope it’s a lucky one out on the river! We had pretty decent hatches out there last night, and even more overnight judging by all the bugs on the side of the shop this morning. Fishing was slow during the day (Aside from way up by Stilesville), but definitley picked up in the evening. Today, we’re looking at a carbon-copy of yesterday, with the”possibility” of thunderstorms in the afternoon. We’ll see what materializes!
