Delaware River Report / Conditions April 6, 2020

It’s okay to fish locally.  It’s not okay to travel long distances to fish.  So stay local for now.

We are following the State’s order and are closed right now.  We are still fulfilling mail orders in the online store:  https://drc-fly-shop.myshopify.com/  Our flies are stocked and we will be adding new products over the next few weeks.  Hopefully this all passes soon.

We saw fewer mayflies on the water yesterday compared to Saturday.  We thought maybe the increased release caused that but it seemed to be system wide.  We have a few warm days ahead of us and then we chill down a bit over the weekend.  Today looks nice in the high 50’s with some sun and clouds.  Wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.

Since everyone should be fishing local to heir homes send us pictures of your locally caught fish and we’ll put them here on the blog.  Even chubs would  be cool.  Email them to flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com
