Delaware River Report / Condtions April 26, 2012

Many apologies on the tardiness of this post – we’ve had a BUSY morning here at the club, getting folks out on the river!

Yesterday was a great day, with significant hatching starting from about 1PM and running until 6PM or so, conisisting of Hendricksons, small Baetis, and Apple Green Caddis. The West Branch was the predominant Hot Spot, but the East and Main also fished pretty darn well. Warmer temps and lighter winds today bode well for some continued action, although the West Branch is dropping significantly. Let’s pray for even more rain in the near future!
