Delaware River Report / Conditions August 14, 2014

We didn’t receive the amount of rain we had hoped for, but that means the system is still wad-able and the water clarity is normal.  Their is a chance of a few passing showers throughout the day, but nothing torrential.   Yesterday fished well in the rain with sulphurs and olives in deposit and some #14 Stenos and pseudos on the lower west.  You can expect things to be a little slower today with the sun, but there will be sulphurs in Deposit and the evening will fish well on the lower river.

 

The river remains virtually unchanged.
