Delaware River Report / Conditions June 25, 2017

We had a few passing showers yesterday evening but it all soaked into the ground and did not affect the flows. The forecast is calling for cooler temperatures and some cloud cover today. There’s a possibility of a few thunderstorms later in the evening. Nymphing/swinging wets is still the best option during the day and try blind casting isonychias and cahills in the riffles. Caddis, sulphurs, olives, cahills, and isonychias continue to be the best options. Get out there early in the day and stay out to last light for the best action.
