Delaware River Report / Conditions May 15, 2011

The pressure change yesterday hampered the fishing a little bit, but there are still plenty of bugs out and about, and with the weather ‘stabilizing,’ today has the potential to be an fantastic day on the water! The shop door was covered with Hendrickson spinners, paralep spinners, baetis duns, and all the fun caddis we have been seeing for the last week. Spring is still here!
