Delaware River Report / Conditions June 16, 2021

We didn’t get enough rain yesterday to bump any of the river flows but we did keep the cloud cover most of the day.  More rain probably would have pushed the hatching earlier but fish were landed.  We’re coming off a cool night so the water temps dropped throughout the system. That’s definitely a bonus.  today should be sunny, 69 degrees, with wind 10 – 15 mph from the North.  The overnight air temp should drop to 45 degrees.  Cahills, isos, sulphurs, tan caddis, and dark blue sedges should cover most of what you’ll see.
