Delaware River Report / Conditions May 24, 2021

It did cool down overnight and the air temp is 49 degrees this morning.  The air temp will hit 70 degrees this afternoon with a mix of clouds and sunshine.  Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.  It sounds like a pleasant day to be on the water after the heat.  There are still a lot of caddis around plus the last of the small hendricksons.  March browns and gray fox have been coming ff sporadically and we should see the sulphurs in good numbers soon.  We have a chance of rain later in the week that would be good for the Beaverkill and Willowemoc.
