Delaware River Report / Conditions June 30, 2014

Today is starting off looking like a great day to fish.  We have clouds plus a little heavy mist this morning mixed with periods of decent rain.  It may burn off as the sun rises but we should have some thunderstorms coming through bringing a little more rain and cloud cover later in the day.  If Accuweather is accurate we could see decent hatching of Pseudos and possibly Cahills during the day.  If the clouds stick around blind fishing Isonychias in the riffles.  The sulphurs have been coming late and lasting into dark so don’t leave the river early.  The temperature under the Hancock Bridge is 61 degrees this  morning and the last Cannonsville capacity update was June 27th at 98.6%.
