Delaware River Report / Conditions April 21, 2020

We are following the State’s order and are closed right now.  We are still fulfilling mail orders in the online store:  https://drc-fly-shop.myshopify.com/

Let’s keep the local pictures going.  Since everyone should be fishing local to their homes send us pictures of your locally caught fish and we’ll put them here on the blog.  Even chubs would be cool.  Email them to flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com

Today’s selection of fish:

Yesterday we had a cool breeze but overall it was nice to be out in the sunshine.  Today will be cooler with the air temp hitting the mid 40’s.  We’ll have rain in the morning with the possibility of some thunderstorms in the afternoon.  The rain total doesn’t look like much at .25″ or less.  The wind will be 15 to 25 mph from the North so if you’re up here pick your spot accordingly.  We get the sun back tomorrow but with cooler temps.
