Delaware River Report / Conditions June 4, 2020

We had some brief but heavy rain yesterday but the rivers came through it just fine.  Most of the storms broke up or slid South of us so the flows are starting off today pretty much where they started off yesterday.  We’re back in a warm spell so the air temp will hit the low 80’s today.  Mostly sunshine with wind 5 – 10 mph from the South.  There are a lot of different bugs hatching right  now throughout the system.  You pretty much have to carry most of your late Spring patterns.  Caddis have been active during the day.  Different sections of river are seeing different mayfly hatches but be ready for anything.

Our lodging and fly shop are open.  Our fly shop will be limited to two customers at a time and masks are required.  We will wipe down the shop before the next customers come inside.  We are following CDC cleaning guidelines for both the rooms and the shop.  We are still fulfilling mail orders in the online store:  https://drc-fly-shop.myshopify.com 

Curbside pickup is still a shipping option in the online store if you would rather not come inside.

If you would like a guided trip send us an email at flyfish@thedelawareriverclub.com or call 570-635-5880 and we’ll try to fit you in
