Delaware River Report / Conditions June 14, 2011

The predicted rain never materialized yesterday, but we certainly did have great cloud cover and temperatures throughout the system. That being said, the fish on the West Branch yesterday were SPOOOOOOOOKY – almost feels like the old days before we had a flotilla of drift boats on the water. Approach carefully, and make that first shot count!
