If anyone finds a chest pack on the lower West Branch or Upper Main please send us an email at flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com.
The East and West Branch flows continue to drop slowly. Both reservoirs are still spilling so they remain too high for wading. If you’re wading stick to the headwater streams. Floating is fine. Yesterdays sunshine and warm air temp helped the water temps climb to the highest we’ve seen this Spring. There are some little black caddis and stoneflies around in the afternoon. Your best bet is still going to be nymphs and streamers but people have been finding some rising fish in the long slow pools.
Today will be cooler than yesterday hitting 56 degrees. We should have cloud cover with a negligable .04″ of rain. The wind will be back at 10 – 20 mph from the South. The hourly shows mostly 10 mph with some gusts. Hopefully the wind drops in the afternoon.
What’s Hatching:
Tiny Black Stonefly – #18 – Capniidae sp..
Little Black and Brown Stoneflies – #14 – 16 – Taeniopteryx sp..
