We had a little more sun yesterday but the water temps and flows held up nicely. Isonychias, sulphurs, and cahills made up the mayfly menu with some dark caddis thrown into the mix for good measure. The sun pushed most of the dry fly action back to primetime on sections of the river. There has been some daytime activity in areas and nymphing has been effective during the down time. Today looks like a great day with an air temp reaching 70 with clouds and some light rain during the day. Winds will be light around 5 -7 mph. It looks like a good olive day. We have more rain in the forecast overnight and tomorrow which should be great for the system.
Found- a fly box near the bench at the Indian Country (Barking Dog) access in Deposit. Email flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com if you’ve lost one recently.
