Delaware River Report / Conditions July 1, 2012

Holy…..did I just type JULY up in there? Where the heck is this year going at such break-neck speed??? Anyway, much better day out on the water yesterday, with more fish up and rising all the way down to Balls Eddy, but again not much down below or during the heat of the day. The fog also held off until after dark, which was a nice respite for those fishing late into the evening (that would be everyone). Today we’re looking at a slightly cooler day, but similar conditions as far as the summer heat goes. It’s a good time to get out early, take a break in the afternoon and head out for the evening hatch!
