Delaware River Report: June 20, 2023

We should have cloud cover today with a slight chance of rain. The rainfall shouldn’t amount to anything but the clouds could push the bugs a little earlier in the day. Small olives, cahills, sulphurs, and Isonychias are making up the bulk of the hatches. Blind casting has worked well before and after the hatches. Wind shouldn’t be a factor again. The conditions look really good today,

The Beaverkill at Cooks Falls and the lower East Branch at Fishs Eddy peaked at or over 70 degrees yesterday. The Mainstem at Lordville peaked at 67 degrees. It’s time to give these rivers a break until they cool down.

Today will be warm again hitting 78 degrees with a mix of clouds and sun. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the South.
