Delaware River Report: June 15, 2023

Yesterday was another good rain. It was heavy at times but the ground absorbed most of it and the rivers look fine this morning. We’re running clear. We bumped up a few cfs but not enough to be noticeable on the water. Nymphing was the best bet during the heavier rain but people did have some dry fly shots in the afternoon. Definitely have your olives, sulphurs, cahills, and Isonychias.

Today will be 73 degrees with clouds in the morning giving way to a partly cloudy sky in the afternoon. Wind will be 10 -15 mph from the North.
