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:
John found this rainbow a couple of miles from his house
Mark with a good brown from his local waters
It seems like we are only allotted one nice day a week and yesterday was it. 60 degrees, no wind, some sunshine and bugs. The water temps climbed enough to make the bugs and fish happy. It was also a warm night so the rivers are starting off a couple of degrees warmer this morning. Today we will see between 1/2″ and 3/4″ of rain. Wind will be from the East 10 – 15 mph. We’ll have rain mixed with snow overnight into tomorrow morning. It looks like a wet week ahead but warmer.
