Upper Delaware River Report–7/25/2010

Yesterday’s high air temperatures and bright sun made fishing very challenging throughout much of the afternoon. Today looks like it is going to be much cooler day as far as air temperatures go and looks like there are going to be some good cloud coverage in the area.  With a 30% chance of rain today, the odds are in your favor to be on the Upper Delaware early in the day.  Sulphurs and BWO’s should be coming off in better numbers today with the overcast skies, Tricos and Iso’s should also make an appearance on the water today as well.
