Delaware River Report / Conditions June 21, 2019

This week’s trend of rain in the morning continues today. This should be the last of it for the weekend, the next few days look nice and clear. We had some storms through the afternoon and evening on east side of the system. The Beaverkill is high this morning but is already starting to drop. Your best bet today is streamers in the morning and looking for bugs later on as we dry out. Floating is the safest way to fish until the river levels drop.
