That was a brief but heavy rain that hit us yesterday morning. We had a few more showers in the afternoon and it looks like we were hit again overnight. The flow at Stilesville is 534 cfs. It looks like the flow at Hale Eddy has peaked at 934 cfs and is beginning to drop. The color looks much better than yesterday afternoon and is fishable. We may see some showers this afternoon but Wunderground is showing the amount of precip to be .02″. After today we shouldn’t see any additional rain until Tuesday. The air temp is cooling down beginning today and we’ll see temps in the 70’s with nighttime temps in the 40’s this week. Definitely a better weather trend!
Our lodging and fly shop are now open. Our fly shop will be limited to two customers at a time and masks are required. We will wipe down the shop before the next customers come inside. We are following CDC cleaning guidelines for both the rooms and the shop. We are still fulfilling mail orders in the online store: https://drc-fly-shop.myshopify.com
Curbside pickup is still a shipping option in the online store if you would rather not come inside.
If you would like a guided trip send us an email at flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com or call 570-635-5880 and we’ll try to fit you in
