Delaware River Report / Conditions October 4, 2011

It was definitely a much tougher day out on the river yesterday with the colder temps and sporadic rain. Fish were interested in streamers but did not seem too keen on taking dries – mostly because the mayflies and caddis felt like staying in the water. With warmer temps starting today, we’re looking forward to a bit more action out there, hopefully with both caddis and Isos.
