Delaware River Report / Conditions May 17, 2021

The river flows dropped a bit more overnight and everything looks good this morning.  We did have some brief rain showers yesterday but not enough to affect the flows.  Today looks beautiful with the air temp hitting 71 degrees and sunshine.  Wind will be 5- 10 mph from the West.  There is a slight chance of a thunderstorm.  That would be helpful if we could get some cloud cover with it.  Depending on where you fish it will be caddis and hendricksons  or caddis and march brown / gray fox.  The caddis have been very prominent over the last week.
