Delaware River Report / Conditions May 3, 2014

Finally we had what felt like a real Hendrickson hatch.  Not a blanket hatch, but enough hendricksons to get the fish up feeding steady.  Todays weather is a mirror image of yesterdays.  Partly cloudy, high near 60, and moderate winds. Some light rain moving into the area tonight.   Looks like decent fishing day.  Cannonsville is 99.5%
