Delaware River Report / Conditions June 13, 2019

We woke up to some light rain this morning but sop far the river flows are still dropping.  Overall we may see 1/2″ fall but it looks like it will be spread throughout the day.  The cloud cover should help make the fish more comfortable to rise and hopefully push the olives to hatch.  Wind will be 10 mph from the South and the air temp should hit 60 degrees.  Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds.  People found fish rising but nymphing and swinging wets were definitely the way to go midday.  The runoff and cooler temps have helped dropped the river temps on the System even keeping the Main at Callicoon at 66  degrees yesterday.

If we see any dramatic changes in river flows we’ll post a mid day update.
