Delaware River Report / Conditions – May 14, 2011

The clouds had the desired effect – bugs, bugs, and more bugs! Fish were up and rising throughout the system, with lots of big boys (and girls) caught! Towards the end of the day the fish picked up the degree of difficulty by feeding on spinners for 10 minutes, then caddis for another 10, and duns after that. Just the type of fun we enjoy!
