Delaware River Report: June 2, 2024

Today will be a lot like yesterday but with more cloud cover. There may be some left over spinners and dead bugs in the big pools early. Then nymphing or swinging wets will be a good bet. Like everyday there is a shot at caddis in the riffles just about any time. There have been some sporadic Green Drakes during the day and the coffin flies in the evening or dark. There are still some March Browns, Gray Fox, Cahils, sulphurs, and Isonychias in the mix too.

Today will be 79 degrees with cloudy skies. Wind will be light and variable.
