Delaware River Report / Conditions October 27, 2011

Yesterday ended up being a fairly productive day for those who made it out on the water – bugs from noon on, and a good number of fish up and sipping on them. In typical Delaware fashion, every fish in the pod seemed to be feeding on a different pattern, making the degree of difficulty a bit higher – but the challenge oh so much fun! Today, we expect the temperatures to drop dramatically, with SNOW (gasp!) starting in the late afternoon – this will likely put a damper on things for today, but we warm up a bit on Friday, with some sun expected as well. Let’s see how it goes!
