Delaware River Report / Conditions July 24, 2012

So despite some SERIOUS  thunderstorms yesterday, along with torrential rains at times, we barely had a bump in flows during the day / overnight. Jim took advantage of a break in the storms to wade Home Pool for a bit, and was disappointed to report he was quite disappointed. No one rising, and no bugs on the water – likely a result of the constant pressure changes throughout the day. Today, we’re looking at another humid one, with mostly sunny skies throughout. I’d expect everything to settle back down to into a ‘normal’ summer pace today, and if the pressure remains constant, we should be looking at a great evening of hatching and fishing!
