Delaware River Report / Conditions May 28, 2011

Cloud cover throughout the day yesterday helped keep the water temperatures down throughout the system yesterday – definitely a relief with these temperatures in the high 80’s. Yesterday we had bugs sporadically throughout the day, with a nice big flush at night. We are expecting some rain this morning, which will further add some temperature relief, and push more bugs up throughout the day!
