Delaware River Report / Conditions June 3, 2020

Yesterday ended up being a good day on the river.  Most people found fish eating either caddis, march browns, a few sulphurs, or gray fox.  We’re hearing a few reports of green drakes on some river sections so keep those handy.  The wind was low and the weather was pleasant overall.  Today will be cooler with the possibility of rain this morning with some storms in the afternoon.  A lot of thunderstorms slide south of us so we’re hoping that’s the case today.  If we do get hit we’ll do a mid day flow update but keep an eye on the latest flows by clicking the gauge links at the bottom of the post.

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
