Delaware River Report: June 19, 2023

Yesterday fished well again with small olives. Sulphurs, cahills, and Isonychias are bringing some fish to the net too. We’ve hit the cool time of year when blind casting Isonychias and cahills in the riffles could pay off anytime of the day, We’ll be warmer today with more sun so look for shade banks and riffles early. Wind won’t be a factor for a change. The weather change may push the hatching a little later and longer into the evening than what we’ve seen the last few days.

Today will be warmer hitting 79 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be light and variable.
