Delaware River Report / Conditions May 1, 2011

The One Bug is in full swing here on the Delaware, so there is a flotilla of boats on the river, finding fish in the back eddies and slower pockets. With the flows gradually lowering, more and more fish will be coming to the surface to take the insects that are hatching with the warmer weather.
