Delaware River Report / Conditions June 26, 2021

We have good cloud cover this morning may even see a stray thunderstorm. Wind will be 10 – 15 from the South.  so it definitely looks better than many of the sunny days we’ve been dealing with lately.  Hopefullythe clouds push some olives along with the sulphurs and cahills a little earlier in the day.  Nymphing worked well yesterday before the hatches and should be a good bet again today.  Isonychias and cahills are still producing in some riffles.

The Lower East Branch, Mainstem, and Beaverkill at Cooks Falls all peaked over or just under 70 degrees yesterday.   It’s time to give those rivers a break and fish cold water areas.

Dark Blue Sedge – #14 – Psilotreta sp.
Sulphur – #16 – 18 – E. dorothea
