Delaware River Report / Conditions May 28, 2021

We should see 57 degrees, wind 5 -10 from the East, cloudy with rain in this afternoon.  Daytime rainfall should be around 1/4″.  We should see another 3/4″ of rain overnight.  If Wunderground has this one right it should fish.  We saw decent bugs yesterday but the wind and sun kept the fish a little spotty.  March browns, gray fox, and a few sulphurs.  Tan caddis we around in really good numbers most of the afternoon.  We have some cool, wet weather for the next few days.  Hopefully that drops some water temps and increases the flows a little.
