Delaware River Report / Conditions May 23, 2021

We had just enough rain overnight to knock the dust down on  the back roads.  The rivers are pretty much where they were yesterday morning.  The cloud cover and wind felt good yesterday.  There were some fish working when the wind dropped – mostly slashing caddis where we were.  Nymphing was a good option during the wind.  Today is going to be cooler with a high of 79 degrees.  We may see a stray thunderstorm which would be great.  Wind will be 10 – 20 mph from the North.  The air temp will drop to 49 degrees tonight so pack a fleece if you stay late.
