If anyone finds a chest pack on the lower West Branch or Upper Main please send us an email at flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com.
The West Branch flow has increased about 500 cfs this morning. It is already dropping at Hale Eddy but will remain high. The bump is mostly runoff from some overnight rain. The East Branch flow is sill dropping slowly but also remains high. Both reservoirs are spilling so the rivers are in great shape to float. Wading will be best and safest on the smaller headwater streams. Not much has changed over the last few days. Nymphing and streamers will be your best bets. There will be some dry fly shots with stoneflies and caddis in the long, slow pools. It just about being in the right place at the right time.
Today ;ooks a little nicer than yesterday with the air temp hitting 66 degrees, overcast, and just .04″ of rain. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South. That’s a welcome change.

Tiny Black Stonefly – #18 – Capniidae sp..
