Delaware River Report / Conditions May 30, 2021

The river flows have dropped back after the rain and everything looks good this morning,  It’s going to be 50 degrees today with some showers developing. Total rainfall today should be 1/4″ or less according to Wunderground. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North.  Not a bad day to be on the water if you dress correctly.  Yesterday was a good bug day with good opportunities.  We received a lot of good fish pictures.  The sulphur hatch in getting stronger along with the March Brown and Gray Fox hatches.  There are some green drakes and brown drakes around.  Today is another day to make sure you have tiny blue wing olives.  Tan caddis have been a mainstay over the last few weeks
