Delaware River Report / Conditions May 8, 2011

Two days of beautiful weather, and the fish certainly are responding! We’ve had great action both on streamers and on dries, as good hatches of Hendricksons keep coming off! Reports from the West and Main are equally good – the water is great no matter where you are fishing!
