Delaware River Report / Conditions June 27, 2018

Yesterday’s sun delayed most of the mayflies from hatching until later in the day. We saw sulphurs, caddis and small olives during the evening hours. There were also several species of spinners out there, some on the water and even more in the air. The forecast today is calling for showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. It’ll be cloudy and cooler which will help the afternoon fishing. The lower East Branch and Main Stem are starting out warm this morning. Make sure to check the water temperatures with a thermometer throughout the day.
