Delaware River Report / Conditions June 7, 2011

Sun and heat – here we go again! Forecasts have us getting up in the 90s for the next few days, with periods of clouds and the occasional thunderstorm rolling through, we expect the middle of the day to be tough – summer on the Delaware is rearing its ugly head. That being said, we still have TONS of bugs coming off, which bodes well for the morning and evening fishing, which has been pretty decent over the last few days. Give us a call for the most up-to-the-minute details!
