Today is going to be another beautiful day on the water. The air temp will hit the high 60’s with some clouds rolling in during the afternoon. Wind will be from the East 5 – 10 mph. Yesterday was good. We’re still seeing a mix of hendricksons and blue quills and lots of caddis. The spinner fishing is picking up so definitely have # 14 and #16 rusty spinners handy. Some march browns are showing up here and there so the hatches seem a bit jumbled but are progressing well. The river flows are dropping slowly as the runoff subsides. The release from Cannonsville is 1,112 cfs.
We are now allowed to guide one client at a time in Pennsylvania. If you would like a solo guided trip or guided trip with an immediate family member from the same household, send us an email at flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com or call 570-635-5880 and we’ll try to fit you in. Our lodging is now open.
We are following the State’s order and the shop is still closed to walk in business. It sounds like we will be able to let in a limited number of customers at a time beginning Friday May 22nd. We are still fulfilling mail orders in the online store: https://drc-fly-shop.myshopify.com
Curbside pickup is now a shipping option in the online store.
