Delaware River Report: June 29, 2023

The West Branch has dropped back to normal flows after the rain and is in good shape this morning. The East Branch is still dropping but should level out by the weekend. Today will be 79 degrees with cloud cover in the morning clearing towards the afternoon. Wind will be 5 – 10 mph from the North. There are quite a few Isonychias on the buildings this morning – always a good sign. If you’re not seeing risers blind casting bigger flies in the riffles / broken water can work well. The afternoon sun may push the olives and sulphurs in the later part of the day.

Today will be in the high 70s with a chance of additional thunderstoms in the evening. Wind will be 5-10 mph from the South.
