It seems like the normal Delaware pattern is in place. Morning s can be decent with caddis and nymphing the riffles. The mid day Deposit sulphur hatches have started and offer some decent fishing during the day. In the evening keep an eye out for a second round of sulphurs, some summer stenos / cahills, and Isonychias. The West Branch is clear and perfect for wading and floating. The other rivers in the system have begun to drop and clear. The cool temperatures yesterday and last night really helped the rivers and we are starting off at 57 degrees under the Hancock Bridge this morning. If we get some clouds rolling through the West Branch could fish throughout the day with stenos and small olives.
