Delaware River Report / Conditions June 4, 2011

For some reason WordPress didn’t like our post yesterday, so we’ll start with a new one today. Flows are down on the West Branch, with a 500 CFS release out of the dam – great for wading! We have cool temps in the AM, so the action is starting a bit later. Drakes are still around, and we are anticipating a nice spinner fall any evening. Dortheas were a strong hatch on the main stem yesterday as well.

Ephemera guttulata – Green Drake – #8-2xl

Ephemera simulans – Brown Drake – #10-2xl
