Delaware River Report / Conditions June 6, 2012

You’ve gotta love carbon copy days! ….at least when the first is a good one! Bugs throughout the day on the West and Main (no reports from the East but I bet it was similar), with the West fishing farther into the evening than it has in the last few nights. More bug soup, with olives and plenty of different sulphurs / stenos to keep those on the water guessing. Today we are expecting some slightly warmer weather, with maybe a passing thunderstorm or two that will spice it all up a tad. Cloud cover looks good, so more hatching during the day for those heading out!
