Delaware River Report / Conditions June 3, 2021

We should see some light rain this morning.  Afternoon storms may develop but a lot of those tend to slide south of us.  Wunderground forecasts the rain total at .17″.  Yesterday’s rain did little to the flows and all of the rivers look good this morning.  We had a number of different bugs hatching at the same time yesterday and they hatches seemed to come in flushes.  When the bugs were there the fish were up.  Patience paid off.
