Delaware River Report / Conditions June 30, 2019

We had a lot more sun than originally forecasted yesterday.  We watched and heard the thunderstorms track all around us on the lower West but we got through pretty much unscathed.  There were the normal sulphurs, cahills, and isonychias out.  Look for the cold water to find day time hatching.  Today we should see a few clouds with a cooler air temp hitting the low 70’s.  The wind will pick up in the afternoon and be 10 -15 from the North.  The rivers are in great shape for wading and floating.  Hopefully the cooler weather and cloud cover keeps the water temps in check on the freestones and lower river sections.
