Delaware River Report: June 16, 2023

Today looks like a good day to be on the water with cloud cover, light rain, and no wind. That combination could push the olives and sulphurs earlier in the day. It could also make blind casting Isonychias a good mid day option. Yesterday was a mix of clouds and sun with some surface activity in the afternoon. Nymphing was the best bet early

Today will be 68 degrees with light and variable winds. We should have decent cloud cover with some light rain totaling .09″‘
