Delaware River Report / Conditions June 2, 2020

The Cannonsville release has been increased slightly to 500 cfs.  We’re still at a good level for both floating and wading.  Today looks like a good weather day with the air temp in the high 60’s clods, and wind 7 – 10 mph from the South.  Caddis, olives, march browns, sulphurs, and gray fox.  We’ve seen a bit of everything out there so carry at least of few patterns that will cover most of the late Spring hatches.  A lot of these hatches are sporadic and come slowly through the afternoon.  The fish are used to seeing them so be patient and watch for the risers.  Blind casting march browns in the riffles can also be effective if you don’t want to wait.

Our lodging and fly shop are 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
