Delaware River Report / Conditions May 2, 2011

Bug Soup! Mid-afternoon yesterday saw fantastic hatches of Hendricksons, Paraleps, Baetis, and caddis – once the temperatures got up! Fish are moving on the bugs in the slower water where it can be found. Flows are still high, so wading is not a safe option yet – drift boats are the way to go!

Hatches:

Emphermerella subvaria (Light and Dark Hendricksons) #12 -14

Paraleptophelbia adoptiva (blue quill)– #16 – #18

Epeorus pluralis (Quill Gordon) #14

Taeniopteryx fasciata – Brown Stoneflies #12-14

Chimarra – Little black Caddis #16-18

Baetis vagans – blue winged olives #16-18
