Delaware River Report: June 7, 2023

The smoke from the Canadian wildfires is making the air real hazy here for the second day in a row, We’re coming off another cool nights so water temps are a couple degrees colder than yesterday morning. Definitely good to see after the heat we had a week ago. The wind was really rough yesterday but should be less today. Nymphing was the best bet during the day but some people found fish rising. Despite the haziness the hatches still seem to be coming later in the day and evening. Sulphurs, Light Cahills, March Browns, cornutas and Green Drakes are hatching. Dark Blue Sedges #14 are out in the evening (Psilotreta sp.). Pale Evening Duns are beginning to show too.

Today will hit 69 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. Wind will be 10 -15 mph from the North. It’s going to be hazy with the smoke in the air
