Delaware River Report / Conditions June 13, 2015

We did get some of the rain in the forecast last night but so far the flows have gone up the way we hoped.  There is a little more water in the system this morning but the water temperatures remain the same or are even a little higher. Stick to the West Branch and Upper East Branch for trout fishing today.  The gauge at Lordville is registering 71 degrees this morning with a peak of 74 degrees yesterday afternoon.  Great for smallmouth fishing, not so great for trout.  Fishs eddy is 67 degrees this morning.  Those water temps may drop slightly this morning before bottoming out and climbing again.  If you fish the lower West Branch double check the river temps with your thermometer.  The upper West and upper East will offer the best opportunities again today.  We should see the usual mix of sulphurs, cahills, and isonychias.  The heave been some caddis around offering sporadic daytime risers- especially along the shaded banks.
We have cloud cover this morning that should burn off by the afternoon.
