Delaware River Report / Conditions June 1, 2020

Some sections of river had decent caddis, march browns, and gray fox last night but the wind was not really helpful.  Sulphurs are still coming off in the evening and we should start to see spinner falls soon.  These are all sporadic hatching bugs so pick a spot and be patient.  The lower air temps have really helped the water temps so everything is looking good this morning.  It will be a little warmer today with the air temp hitting 65 degrees.  We’ll see a mix of sun and clouds with wind 10 – 15 mph from the North.  The flows are still dropping slowly from last week’s rain but we’re at a good level for wading and floating.

Our lodging and fly shop are now open.  Our fly shop will be limited to two customers at a time and masks are required.  We will wipe down the shop before the next customers come inside.  We are following CDC cleaning guidelines for both the rooms and the shop.  We are still fulfilling mail orders in the online store:  https://drc-fly-shop.myshopify.com 

Curbside pickup is still a shipping option in the online store if you would rather not come inside.

If you would like a guided trip send us an email at flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com or call 570-635-5880 and we’ll try to fit you in
