Delaware River Report / Conditions July 11, 2021

The flows have dropped back and the West Branch is in good shape this morning.  We should have cloud cover and light rain this morning becoming steadier in the afternoon.  We should see .25″.  Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.  The rain will cause some fog but the wind should push it off the water.  Overall today looks like a really good day to be on the water.  Definitely have your #18 – 24 olives handy. Isonychias and sulphurs should be out there today too.  Streamers have been bringing some fish to the net before the sun hits the water.  If you see bugs and no fish rising for a long time don’t be afraid to move up or down a pool and watch new water.
