Delaware River Report: June 23, 2023

We didn’t get any of the rain that was forecast yesterday. We had clouds in the morning which gave way to sun, delaying the hatches until later in the day. Sulphurs, Isos, olives and caddis made up the bulk of the hatches, make sure to carry a good summer selection with you.
