Delaware River Report / Conditions June 18, 2012

Well, at least the pool is open. It was another scorcher out there yesterday, that’s for sure. The good news is that the morning fished, and the evening turned out pretty well also. The middle of the day proved a good time for a nap, as it has been lately. That being said, the good news is what we woke up to this morning – humidity and clouds! Today has the potential to be fantastic throughout the day and into the evening if the cloud cover persists, and we don’t have  a slew of thunderstorms cruising around. The lack of sun should also allow the BWO parade (pseudos, attenuatas, cornutas, deficiens, et al) to move its way down the river as well! Here’s hoping for a great day, enjoy your Monday all!

Happy Birthday to friend and customer Scott Dawson, who is showing off his biggest ever Delaware Rainbow. Let's just say he saw his backing a couple times. Photo by: Al Caucci
