Delaware River Report / Conditions June 26, 2015

The predicted storms missed us yesterday but there were rising fish.  The fish were tough but #18 sulphur emergers seemed to be the answer.  The river system is in great shape again this morning.  Nymphing shoud be good during the day with most of the hatching coming late afternoon into dark.  We should have a mix of sun and clouds with a scattered shower late.  Most of the rain is forecasted to hits us tomorrow afternoon.  That could start the hatching earlier and the increased flows should keep the rivers up through next week.  The release from Cannonsville continues to be 500 cfs
